Description:
As a major consumer of polycarbonate around the world, China has to import a large amount of polycarbonate every year owing to its poor production and great demand.
As of September 2011, only three active producers are engaged in the production of polycarbonate in China. Among them, two are wholly foreign owned. What are the reasons for the poor production of polycarbonate in China? And whether some new projects or capacity expansion are planned in China as of September 2011?
Since the production of polycarbonate in China is poor, and the demand from China’s market is great, thus a mass of polycarbonate is imported annually to China. What is the situation of polycarbonate import in the past years, and how about the detailed import situation of polycarbonate in 2010?
In the past years, polycarbonate consumption grows rapidly in China. Polycarbonate is mainly used in the production of electronic and electrical components, automotive components, construction materials, drinking bottles and food containers, optical disks, etc. How about the detailed consumption situation of polycarbonate in each downstream product in China in 2010?
In this report, it will give the answers to the above questions and show the truth to penetrate into China’s polycarbonate market. Besides, other points in China's polycarbonate industry are covered:
- Production technology improvements
- Raw material supply situation
- Price change of polycarbonate in 2009-August 2011 and its trend
- Development situation of major polycarbonate downstream industries
- Forecast on production, consumption and raw materials supply to 2016
- Trend of polycarbonate market structure to 2016
- Introduction to key active and potential polycarbonate producers

Executive summary:
With the entry of overseas companies, China's polycarbonate (PC) production has witnessed significant development. Meanwhile, the demand for polycarbonate has kept rapid growth in recent years in China.
Owing to the laggard technology, most domestic producers of polycarbonate have been washed out in the past years. As of September 2011, only three active producers are engaged in the production of polycarbonate in China. Among which two of them are wholly foreign owned enterprises, namely Bayer (Shanghai) Polymer Co., Ltd. and Teijin Polycarbonate China Ltd.; only one is domestic producer, namely Chongqing Changfeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., with a small capacity of xxx t/a. Another producer, Sichuan Mianyang Chenguang Fada Industrial Co., Ltd., has suspended its polycarbonate production since 2010.
As of September 2011, the total capacity of polycarbonate has reached xxx t/a in China, with the output of xxx tonnes in 2010. However, the output of polycarbonate always fails to meet the demand in China every year. Thus, a large amount of polycarbonate needs to be imported. In 2010, xxx tonnes of polycarbonate is imported to China, which accounts for over xx% of the total supply. Meanwhile, although xxx tonnes of polycarbonate is exported in China in 2010, most of them is exported to Hong Kong, and then imported back for tax avoidance.
As a key raw material to produce polycarbonate, most bisphenol A relies on the import, similar to polycarbonate. Among the three active polycarbonate producers, only Bayer Polymer (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has built production line of bisphenol A, while the other two producers need to import it.
There are three major technologies to produce polycarbonate around the world. However, as the most advanced one, non-phosgene polycarbonate process is not adopted by the three active producers in China. Bayer Polymer (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. uses the process of transesterification fusion polycondensation. Both Teijin Polycarbonate China Ltd. and Chongqing Changfeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. adopt the process of interfacial polycondensation phosgene.
In China, polycarbonate is mainly used in the production of electronic and electrical components, automotive components, construction materials, drinking bottles and food containers, optical disks, etc. Electronic and electrical components are always the largest consumption field of polycarbonate, occupying xx% of its total consumption in 2010. And automotive components are the second largest consumption field of polycarbonate in 2010. It is estimated that the consumption of polycarbonate in the top three fields will keep at a high growth rate in the coming five years.
