中国杀虫剂月报

Welcome to Insecticide China News published by CCM International, a professional consulting company which has been extensively and intently focusing on dynamics of China's insecticide industry.

The year 2011 is really a hard time for insecticide players in China. Weak demand for insecticides because of less occurrences of pests has let them down again. What's more, they had to face severe challenges such as overcapacity and intense competition from foreign products. Being the most important segment of domestic crop protection market, insecticide market's bad performance makes things hard for most of domestic formulation players in 2011.

Different from the weak insecticide demand in domestic market, the export volume of insecticide posted a huge increase in the first ten months of 2011. It is particularly worth noting that the average export price also witnessed an increase. However, the rise in export price was mainly caused by the increase in production cost. As a result, the profit made by exporting insecticides is still very low. 

Entering 2012, cut-throat competition among domestic players is within expectation, so do overcapacity and more new products introduced by overseas companies. It is expected that China will continue to consolidate domestic insecticide industry and companies will re-adjust their product mix. CCM International wishes that they can have a good performance in 2012.
