Key Producers for Acetic Acid Are Profiled and Top Chinese Acetic Acid Producers Are Listed in...

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c88573) has announced the addition of Chinese Markets for Acetic Acid to their offering.

China's demand for acetic acid has grown at a fast pace in the past decade. In the next five years, both production

and demand will continue to grow. This new study examines China's economic trends, investment environment, industry development, supply and demand, industry capacity, industry structure, marketing channels and major industry participants. Historical data (1990, 1995 and 2000) and long-term forecasts throughout 2005 and 2010 are presented.

The report includes 41 tables and charts. Key producers are profiled and top Chinese acetic acid producers are listed in the producer directory section.

Most primary and secondary research was done in China in order to obtain up-to-date government regulations, market information and industry data. Data was collected from Chinese government publications, Chinese language newspapers and magazines, Chinese chemical industry associations, including Chinese acetic acid industry associations, local government chemical industry bureaus, acetic acid industry publications, and our in-house databases. Interviews were conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and acetic acid producers in China.

As a result of the reform, China's high economic growth has spurred the rapidly rising consumption of acetic acid. Acetic acid, because it is a very important organic acid, is widely used in the chemical industry and other industries. The country's acetic acid consumption has grown rapidly. It is forecast that the Chinese chemical industry, medical industry, light industry and synthetic fiber industry will continue to fuel demand for acetic acid and to lead the industry in growth. The total market demand for acetic acid is projected to reach 1120,000 metric tons by 2005, increasing 10-11.7% per annum. In 1998, China's total output of acetic acid reached 570,000 metric tons. Despite new facility construction and capacity expansion, China's acetic acid demand will continue to outstrip supply. In 1998, China imported 135,400 metric tons, most of which were types of acids which could not be produced domestically. The country will remain a large importer of acetic acid throughout the new century.
