Supply of sodium borohydride in China appears superfluous at present

In China, sodium borohydride is widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, intermediates, fine chemicals, electronic products, paper making, water treatment and perfume. Among them, pharmaceuticals industry is the largest application field, taking up 73% of consumption volume of sodium borohydride in 2013, which is different from overseas markets where paper making is the dominant field. Its consumption in electronic products, paper making, water treatment and perfume is quite small.

CCM recently finished a report named Sodium Borohydride Market in China, which reveals the production and consumption of sodium borohydride in China during 2010-2013 through the following key aspects:
- Key findings and market dynamics in the sodium borohydride industry
- Production situation of sodium borohydride (mainly during 2009-2013), including capacity, output, price, technology and competition among producers
- Consumption situation of sodium borohydride during 2010-2013 and introduction to major end-use segments
- Forecast on production and consumption of sodium borohydride during 2014-2018

The supply of sodium borohydride in China is superfluous at present, with just a 42.0% operating rate in 2013. Despite a steady increase in the past few years, the consumption volume of sodium borohydride in China is still small. As a result, there were no new entrants in the industry during 2010-2013.

Compared with 2003-2009, the production situation of sodium borohydride in 2010-2013 showed some differences. During 2010-2013, the capacity kept relatively stable at about 6,000 t/a with a CAGR of about 0.3%, while the corresponding growth rate in 2003-2009 was as high as 39.2%. In terms of output, it posted a CAGR of 25.9% in 2003-2009, which became merely about 8.8% in the past four years.

Currently, China is basically self-sufficient in sodium borohydride. Compared with its domestic output, the import volume is small. Many end-users in China claimed that they use homemade sodium borohydride, which is able to meet their demand both in quality and price. Besides, China exports a small quantity of the product to overseas markets.

The report is the 2rd edition of CCM’s series surveys covering China’s sodium borohydride industry. If you want to know more details of the report, please visit: http://www.cnchemicals.com/Product/Report/2359/Sodium-Borohydride-Market-in-China-Edition(2)
