Description:
As a common chemical intermediate, diethyl maleate (DEM) is mainly used in the production of many chemicals such as malathion, water treatment chemical, synthetic essence, 1,4-butanediol, etc.
China has been producing diethyl maleate for several years, but the market is not very flourishing at present. In order to provide a completed picture for DEM industry in China, this report has described the overall production, raw materials, price, consumption, major end users and export of diethyl maleate. Besides, the active manufacturers and end users are also listed.
In this report, you can easily find out:
- What's the current production status of diethyl maleate in China?
- What's the future prospect of diethyl maleate with shrinking malathion market?
- Is there any new demand from downstream industries?
- Who may be your potential competitors?
- Who may be your potential business partners?
- Who may be your potential clients?
- Which countries consume diethyl maleate?
Executive summary:
As of April 2009, China's total DEM capacity has reached 21,620t/a, with output of 6,300 tonnes in 2008 at operation rate of only about 29.14%.
As the most important downstream industry of DEM, most malathion producers produce DEM by themselves, with their DEM output of about 5,060 tonnes, accounting for about 59.37% of the total in 2008. Moreover, the total DEM capacity of malathion producers is 16,000t/a, showing a higher operating rate than the other producers.
In early 2008, DEM price stood at around USD2.45/kg (RMB17.00/kg). Influenced by the Beijing Olympic Games, the prices of most chemical raw materials rose rapidly. Accordingly, DEM price soared to USD2.88/kg (RMB20.00/kg) in July 2008 and USD3.17/kg(RMB22.00/kg) in August 2008, after which it began to drop with the declining raw material price and lower demand caused by financial crisis. It stood at about USD2.41/kg (RMB16.5/kg) in March 2009.
There are few downstream industries of DEM at present. In China, DEM is mainly used to produce malathion, 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTCA), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO), synthetic essence, etc.. Besides, a small amount of DEM is used as additive in rubber industry and polymer industry, etc. The consumption volume of DEM was about 5,960 tonnes in 2008, with about 94.13% consumed in malathion production.
The export of DEM is irregular with small export volume compared with the output. In 2008, China's DEM export was estimated at 342 tonnes, with the average export price of USD2.51/kg.
