Asian Paracetamol Demand Expected to be Bullish

China and India supply 80% of paracetamol for the global market in 2010, leading Asia to be the largest area of paracetamol supply. It is estimated that the demand of paracetamol in Asia will be bullish in the future.

As we know, Asia is the largest continent in the world, and it has the characteristics of large population and high population growth rate. Besides, most countries in Asia are developing countries, and the medical system is still in the early stage. Many people can not afford the expensive medicines such as anticancer drugs. They can only use the low price but essential medicines such as paracetamol to maintain their basic medical need. Therefore, the demand of paracetamol is great in Asia.

In addition, some developing countries like India and Indonesia, are launching the new health care reform, which will promote the low-price medicines among the poor. The demand for paracetamol in Asia will keep growing in future.

What’s more, as the main raw material of paracetamol, para-aminophenol (PAP) industry shows great potential with the fast development of paracetamol. The PAP production in the world increases year by year. The output increases nearly 30,000 tonnes from 2008 to 2010.

All findings are from CCM International’s latest publication “Survey of PAP and Paracetamol in Asia Pacific”, which provides you the insightful analysis on  production, IE and consumption situation of targeted Asia Pacific countries, such as China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Japan.

PAP Para-aminophenol Market Continues to Grow in the Future

As the main raw material of paracetamol, para-aminophenol (PAP) industry shows great potential, even in the financial crisis of 2008. Chinese PAP producers were encouraged by the huge demand. Hence they had expanded their capacity since 2008. The PAP industry in China grew with a capacity CAGR of 12.70% and an output CAGR of 13.78% from 2003 to 2010. 

Export has been playing an important role in China’s PAP industry, which is mainly exported to Asian countries. The export amount of PAP has been increasing dramatically in the recent years, reaching over 22,088 tonnes in 2010. And the export proportion accounting for 19% of China's PAP output in 2010 is the same as that in 2007, which indicates the export volume is growing with increasing output.

Apart from export, PAP is mainly consumed by paracetamol industry in China. Different from other overseas countries such as those in America and Europe, China's PAP is not widely used in rubber antioxidant but in dyestuff industry and pharmaceutical industry. And most consumption in pharmaceuticals is attributed to parecetamol industry, accounting for 66% of China's total output in 2010.

It is estimated by CCM that the PAP market will continue to grow in the future. The development of paracetamol industry is still the key driver for the growth of PAP output in China.
