Turpentine China Product Research Report

China’s turpentine mainly refers to gum turpentine owing to the small amount of crude sulphate turpentine and wood turpentine. China has abundant pine resources, which ensures ample supply of oleoresin and gum rosin & gum turpentine. The domestic output of turpentine is mainly driven by the tapping of oleoresin and the production and market situation of gum rosin. Nowadays, in China gum turpentine is mainly consumed to produce terpene resins, synthetic camphor, terpineol, etc. Along with the fast development of China’s gum turpentine derivatives, the overseas enterprises tend to purchase Chinese-made gum turpentine derivatives (such as synthetic camphor, terpineol, synthetic borneol, etc.) rather than gum turpentine. Due to the unstable price, terpene resins has faced strong competitiveness from petroleum resins, which caused the changeable production of terpene resins and changeable demand for gum turpentine in China. With the fast development of synthetic spices, more and more gum turpentine has been or will be synthesized to essence & flavor in China.
