Production and Market of Pentaerythritol in China

Driven by the rapid development of China’s economy in the past few years, China’s pentaerythritol industry has witnessed a fast development. In the past ten years, pentaerythritol's production had been transferred from the EU and North America to Asia, and China has been the top production base of pentaerythritol in the world, with the pentaerythritol capacity accounting for more than 50% of the global total. The main end use segments of pentaerythritol are alkyd resin, polyurethane, rosin pentaerythritol ester, lubricant, etc. China's automobile industry and building industry developed quickly in the past few years, resulting in the increasing demand for coating & paint, and China became the largest coating & paint producer in the world in 2009. The demand for pentaerythritol is also getting stronger and stronger. The fast development of China's pentaerythritol industry soon eventuated in overcapacity. The competition among Chinese pentaerythritol producers is getting more intense and the profit of pentaerythritol for most producers is low. The technology problem, environmental protection and appreciation of RMB also affect many pentaerythritol producers in China.
