Production and consumption situation of China's acrylonitrile industry

China's acrylonitrile industry has enjoyed a steady expansion during 2008–2012. According to CCM’s report Market of Acrylonitrile in China, issued in February 2013, the domestic acrylonitrile capacity has exceeded 1.3 million t/a as of January 2013, while the consumption volume has been over 1.5 million tonnes, which means China still needs to import a considerable amount of acrylonitrile every year to fill the gap between supply and demand.

At present, acrylonitrile is mainly used in the production of acrylic fiber, ABS, PAM, acrylamide, NBR, etc. Among which, acrylic fiber is still the largest consumer of acrylonitrile, though its consumption demand for acrylonitrile has been dropping during 2008–2012.  

As for the other two downstream fields, namely ABS and PAM, they are expected to show remarkable performance in terms of output and consumption volume. ABS is even estimated to surpass acrylic fiber to be the largest consumer of acrylonitrile in China in the future, given its increasing growth of output.

In the report, CCM focuses on the production situation and consumption pattern of China's acrylonitrile industry during 2008–2012, and forecasts its development in the next five years. In “Production situation of acrylonitrile in China during 2008–2012” part, readers can obtain the basic information of acrylonitrile production and producers, geographical distribution of production and new projects or expansion programs in relation to acrylonitrile production.

The report has also revealed the import and export situation of acrylonitrile in China during 2011–2012. The findings are concluded by CCM’s researchers basing on a large amount of data sourced from China Customs. Through these findings readers can get a lot of intelligences on China’s acrylonitrile industry, such as major exporters and importers, export destinations, export and import volume and value. With respect to the consumption situation of acrylonitrile in China, CCM will give readers a detailed elaboration of the consumption pattern of acrylonitrile in main end segments, including acrylic fiber, ABS, acrylamide, NBR, etc.

CCM anticipate China's TiO2 export volume to increase in 2013

Judging either from the production scale or the actual production output, China’s titanium dioxide has grown significantly in recent years and China has become one of the most important TiO₂ producers in the world. CCM’s experts focus closely on China’s TiO₂ market and have their unique perspectives about the development of this industry. With professional market investigations and accurate data, CCM will provide the most impartial, reliable and scientific consultancy service.

According to the TiO₂ branch of the Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Centre of China, the 2012 TiO₂ output in China was 1.89 million tonnes, a YoY growth of 7.7% compared to the 1.76 million tonnes (after adjustment) in 2011. In 2012, the TiO₂ export volume to the US, Brazil, India and the ASEAN-5 were 77,000 tonnes, 63,000 tonnes, 58,000 tonnes and 147,000 tonnes, increasing by 15.29%, 34.97%, 11.99% and 19.84%, respectively, compared to that in 2011. According to World Bank, the global economic growth is expected to come in at a relatively weak 2.4 percent in 2013, which is better than that in 2012. GDP growth in developing countries is projected to rise to 5.5% in 2013, due to improved financial conditions, a relaxation of monetary policy and stronger high income country growth. GDP growth in high income countries is projected to expand a mediocre 1.3%. Growth should begin firming during 2013. As a result, we anticipate China's TiO₂ export volume to increase in 2013.

On the other hand, more than half of China's TiO₂ is used in the coatings industry. Furthermore, architectural coatings accounts for 30%–40% of total coatings output in China. Architectural coatings consumption depends on the real estate market. After it entered H2 2012, real estate enterprises showed more initiative to stock up land than in H1 2012, indicating real estate enterprises consider 2013 to be more optimistic than 2012. Low interest rates along with fixed asset investment and resurgence of the whole economy will together raise the YoY growth rate of 2013 social construction starts to 8%. The amount invested in the real estate industry in 2013 is projected to rise by 17.5%. With the gradually improving real estate market, architectural coatings demand will likely increase and push up TiO₂ consumption. Thus, we expect 2013 TiO₂ output to increase by 10%–15%.

Titanium dioxide export analysis published by CCM will provide clients indentify export situation with exclusive research methods, to offer the target products’ export volume, price, time, source/destination countries, specification, application, the information of exporters, manufacturers, etc.,so as to help customers predict the future of TiO₂ industry in China and make wise business decision.
