Demand of China’s Monosodium Glutamate MSG to Keep Growing

With the rising demand from the downstream industries of MSG, China's MSG industry has experienced fast development these years. Up to 2011, MSG capacity has increased to nearly 3,000,000t/a, while its output has risen to over 2,300,000 tonnes, with about 5% CAGR compared with that in 2007.

Although China's MSG industry has enjoyed great growth in recent years, there are still many problems for China’s MSG industry at the same time, such as more policy pressures from the Chinese government, tight supply of raw materials and low profit in MSG business. Then what is the status of China's MSG producers currently? Are there still any expansion plans for MSG in the coming five years?

As to methods of MSG production, most of the China's large-scale MSG producers have GA (Glutamic acid) process in MSG production and produce MSG through fermentation currently, while lots of small-scale MSG producers without GA process make MSG directly from outsourcing GA by chemical synthesis method, and there are also some small-scale production lines with GA process. With stricter environmental policies, what will different scale producers of MSG do in China in the future?

A large amount of MSG is consumed in China every year. At present, MSG is mainly applied in cooking and food industry as condiment. Nevertheless, it is well-known to all that more and more people are in favor of other condiment products in China at present. Will China’s MSG industry shrink with other condiment products appearing? What will the MSG consumption pattern be shaped? Will the demand for MSG in China grow continually? And what about the demand from abroad? Are there still any opportunities for investors to invest in MSG industry?

To give you suggestions on China’s MSG industry, CCM International has made an investigation of China’s MSG industry and created a new report in February 2012, entitled Production and Market of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in China. In order to provide you with a comprehensive outlook of China’s MSG industry, the report mainly covers the following aspects:

-Current production situation of MSG in China
-MSG key producers in China
-Technology of MSG production in current China
-Situation of raw material supply for MSG in China
-Import and export analysis of MSG in China (2006-2011)
-Key factors influencing China's MSG industry, especially policies
-Consumption volume and pattern of MSG in China
-Forecast on MSG industry in the coming five years (2012-2016)

What is Supply and Consumption Situations of China’s Xanthan Gum?

A report on xanthan gum, namely Supply and Consumption Situations of Xanthan Gum in China, was newly published by CCM International. The report provides you with an insightful analysis of xanthan gum from aspects of production, raw material supply, production technology and consumption.

China has twenty-four years' history in producing xanthan gum and has witnessed fast development in the past few years. China plays an increasingly important role in global supply of the product and it has become one of the largest xanthan gum production bases in the world since 2005.

In H1 2011, there are 11 xanthan gum producers in China, with total capacity and output of 135,400t/a and 37,995 tonnes respectively. What's the detailed production situation about the 11 producers? How about the production situation in the past few years? What are the challenges and opportunities for producers?

Corn and corn starch are important raw materials of xanthan gum. This report represents the supply situation of them in China in theses years. Nowadays, xanthan gum's production technology is quite mature worldwide. Which production technology is the most popular among producers? And what are the key factors that affect the whole production process?

Moreover, xanthan gum is widely used in crude oil drilling fluids, foods & beverages, pharmaceuticals in China, the top three consumption fields. So what are the consumption patterns of xanthan gum in China and how different downstream areas share the total consumption volume of 21,735 tonnes in 2010?

All questions will be answered in CCM International’s xanthan gum supply and consumption report. If you are interested in this report, please contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com.

Highlights of this report are as follows:
- Production situation in 2007-H1 2011
- Raw material supply in 2006-2010
- Production technology
- Consumption situation in 2009-2010

Demand of Polycarbonate Keeps Increasing in China

The demand for polycarbonate (PC) has kept rapid growth in recent years in China. China imports massive polycarbonate annually. The poor production capacity and increasing domestic demand drive China to import a large amount of polycarbonate.

Most domestic polycarbonate producers have been washed out in the past years due to laggard technology. As of September 2011, only three active producers are engaged in the production of polycarbonate in China. Two are wholly foreign owned enterprises, namely Bayer (Shanghai) Polymer Co., Ltd. and Teijin Polycarbonate China Ltd.; another one is the only domestic producer, namely Chongqing Changfeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., with a small capacity of 5,000t/a.

The entry of overseas companies boosts the production capacity of polycarbonate to some extent. Total capacity of polycarbonate has reached 360,000t/a in China, with the output of 276,000 tonnes in 2010. But the output of polycarbonate always fails to meet the demand in China every year. Thus, a large amount of polycarbonate needs to be imported.

According to CCM International’s survey, the consumption of polycarbonate in China is expected to keep growing in the coming five years. That means China hungers for polycarbonate. The demand of polycarbonate continues to keep growing in the future.

All the data and findings are extracted from CCM’s report, entitled Survey of Polycarbonate Market in China. If you are interested in it, please feel free to contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com.
