Description

China's mannitol production is gradually changing in the past few years, which can be reflected in raw materials and production methods, consumption. This report covers production, import&export, pricing, consumption and future forecast of this industry in China. The production is clearly presented by summarizing the situation of raw materials, production technologies, capacity and output, and their products in every active mannitol producer in China. Changes to the domestic mannitol production also brings about changes to the import&export, products and consumption of China's mannitol. Based on the discussion of the aspects mentioned above, and analysis of the influencing factors, a five year forecast is made on China's mannitol industry.

Executive Summary

 

(Note: The following summary is based on the situation in 2007 and maybe different to what it is nowadays. Please be noted.)

- Production

Domestic output of mannitol has increased rapidly with the average annual growth rate of xxx% in the past 5 years. The output reached xxx tonnes in 2006, while it was only xxx tonnes in 2002.

- For Mannitol Made from Seaweed - Traditional Method

In China, the mannitol produced with the traditional method is only a byproduct of sodium alginate and iodine. The output of mannitol by this method is closely subjected to the following factors: …
….
- For Mannitol Made from Starch – Synthetic Method

Now China has grasped the technology for mannitol production by synthetic method. …

Both the capacity and the actual production of mannitol by synthetic method have been growing in the past years. The output of mannitol made by synthetic method has increased from xxx tonnes in 2003 and xxx tonnes in 2004 to xxx tonnes in 2006.

- Import & Export

A large quantity of homemade mannitol is exported. From 2001 to 2005 the export volume of mannitol kept stable within xxx-xxx tonnes, but it increased rapidly to xxx tonnes in 2006 accounting for xxx% of total output in 2006.

Some consumers in food industry especially chewing gum used to consume imported mannitol, but currently they prefer homemade mannitol to imported mannitol.

- Consumption

China consumed xxx tonnes of mannitol in 2006, about xxx% of the global consumption volume. Mannitol consumption in China was only xxx tonnes in 1996. Since 2002, domestic mannitol consumption increased rapidly with an average annual growth rate of more than 23.5%....

In China, pharmaceutical is the largest consumption field of mannitol, and in 2006 it consumed xxx tonnes of mannitol, accounting for xxx% of total mannitol consumption in China….

Character of CCM' Report:

This multi-client report provides a comprehensive study on the researched subject in China, from aspects of production, technology, import & export, consumption & end uses, etc.

>>
All the producers in China, either active or idled or potential, have been sourced and contacted. Their situation has been verified and compiled as in the appendix.
>>
The competitiveness of Chinese production has been discussed in order to uncover the mystery of ever-increasing capability of Chinese manufacturing.
>>
The import & export analysis for the situation in the recent three years has been conducted.
>>
The consumption pattern of the researched subject has been carried out in order to breakdown the end uses into different segments. The major end users under each major end use segments have been identified.
>>
The scientific methodology has been employed to conduct the quantitative forecast on this subject in the future 5-10 years.

The aim of this report is to provide powerful assistance to the strategy group and the management team in making correct decision as how to penetrate the ever-increasing China market and how to catch the maximum commercial opportunities. The report is formulated independently by CCM’s professional market researchers, based on the first-hand and primary data which are analyzed by scientific methodology, confirmed with both manufacturers/end users/traders and legal authorities, and presented in a logic way.
