Acetates China Industry Research Report

Inexpensive, calcium acetate was once a common starting material of acetone before the cumene process was developed. However, calcium acetate application has changed greatly and it is now mainly used in food, health products, deicing agent, grease, pharmaceutical industry, etc. Calcium acetate developed very fast in early 21st century, driven by the expending market of calcium supplement food. With simple synthesis route and little investment, many acetate producers tried to produce calcium acetate in the past few years. However, affected by the global financial crisis and market saturation, calcium acetate demand in China decreased. With gloomy domestic market, many producers suspend calcium acetate production and shift to other acetates or products. What’s actual production situation of Chinese producers? Despite the flourishing downstream industries, calcium acetate market has grown very slowly in recent years. The competition is not intense, due to the poor demand and low profit. But the fast developing pharmaceutical industry may bring some opportunities to high quality calcium acetate in the coming years. To figure out the current situation and prospect of calcium acetate, CCM International has penetrated into the calcium acetate industry covering production, producers, consumption, foreign trade, etc. This research discloses the status quo of Chinese calcium acetate industry in terms of industry development, supply and demand, producers, price, raw material, market demand, end use industries, etc. and summarizes the competitive landscape and commercial opportunities.
