What is the Difference between Product Summary, Industry Summary and Market Report?  

Product Summary and Industrial Summary is a new service developed by CCM since 2002. The aim of this service is to provide oversea companies/merchants with fast and concise information, comparing with market report, either about a specific chemical/pharmaceutical product in China, or of a group of products in China.

What is Product Summary?

The Product Summary summarizes the market situation of a chemical substances or a pharmaceutical substance from aspects of product availability, production, pricing, import & export, major producers, research situation, etc. It provides readers with kernel information in regard to the product so that readers can have a preliminary understanding on the Chinese market. It is presented in simple language, usually in highly form or tabular form. Different to market report, the Product Summary is concise in content and it does not include some details discussion, fact, data, etc. E.g. in the market report, we can introduce each manufacturers from aspects of background, product species, product category list, production capacity, actual production, R & D, sales & export, etc. But in the Product Summary, we only list the major manufacturers in tabular form and only indicate the key factors like capacity, actual production, etc.

Readers are welcome to view the Sample of Product Summary. The actual summary is presented in the same depth as that of the sample.

- How is the Product Summary Prepared?

Product Summary is compiled on base of the available materials on the hand i.e. CCM's database, Chinese publication, internet, etc. If it is necessary we have to make a brief investigation and verification.

In the past years, we have been monitoring on the Chinese chemical industry and pharmaceutical industry continuously, and have accumulated much market intelligence. This makes it possible for us to summarize the situation of a specific substance as quick as possible, usually no more than 3 working days.

Under certain circumstances, there is not much existing information at hand either because that the product that we are to summarize is relatively new, or because there is less publication or statistics on it. Thus a brief investigation or verification become necessary. But please be noted that as the time to deliver the summary can not exceed 5 working days, it is not possible for us to prepare, in in such a short time, the details information as in the market report.

- Charge Rate & Delivery Time of Product Summary

The charge rate for product summary is USD1,500.00/copy. But the delivery time is different depending on the availability of the information for the summary.

What is Industrial Summary?

The Industrial Summary summarizes the market situation of a series of chemical products/pharmaceutical products, or a specific chemical/pharmaceutical industrial section from aspects of product species, products availability, production volume, actual production, import & export, major producers, industrial character, etc. The Industrial Summary may covers several products or tens of products. In most circumstances, the Industrial summary is made on base of corresponding a number of Product Summaries. But it does not means that the Industrial Summary is the sum of the corresponding Product Summaries.

Similar to Product Summary, the Industrial Summary is to provide readers with kernel information in regard to the concerning product series or industry so that readers can have a preliminary understanding on the Chinese market. It is presented in simple language, usually in highly form or tabular form. But different to Product Summary, the Industrial Summary is more concise in content and it does not include some details like capacity, production, as in the Product Summary. E.g. in the Product Summary, we may list the major Chinese manufacturers of a specific product and compare them in term of capacity, actual production, etc. But in Industrial Summary, we may only list the major manufacturers of major products. We will highlight on a higher level the overall situation of the concerning industry and pay more attention to the industrial character. The aim of Industrial Summary is to draw a picture of how the industry was in the past, how it has been developed & evolved, the internal relationship among the major products of the industry, how the industry will go in the future, etc.

Readers are welcome to view the Sample of Industrial Summary. The actual summary is presented in the same depth as that of the sample.

.- How is the Industrial Summary prepared?

This makes it possible for us to summarize the situation of an industry as quick as possible, usually no more than 8 working days. In such a case, it is not necessary to verify the information.

Under certain circumstances, there is not much existing information at hand either because that the industry/products that we are to summarize is relatively new, or because there is less publication or statistics on it.

Comparing with market report, the summary (Product Summary + Industrial Summary) is simple and concise in content. It is cheap in price and fast in delivery. Usually CCM do not conduct tel interview in preparing the summary. The sources materials usually comes from publications, internet and CCM's database. But this does not mean that we will sacrifice the quality of summary. On the contrary, with the assistance of solid experience in the market analysis, we will make good use of the available materials at hand and we promise to deliver the information as accurate as possible.
