Abstract

Report Scope and Methodology

This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment, fatty acid industry structure and capacity, production and demand, end-use market consumption trends, distribution channels and principal industry participants. Long-term forecasts for major fatty acid production and demand are included. The report contains 48 tables and charts. Key producers are profiled. Top Chinese fatty acid producers are listed in the producer directory section.

Most primary and secondary research was done in China in order to access up-to-date government regulations, market information and industry data. Data were collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese language newspapers and magazines, Chinese chemical industry associations (including Chinese plastic industry associations, local governments' chemical industry bureaus), plastic industry publications, and our in-house databases. Interviews were conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and fatty acid producers in China.

Historical data include 1996, 2001 and 2006. Long-term development trends are projected to the years 2011 and 2016. Economic models and quantitative methods are applied in this report to project market demand and industry trends. Metric system is used and values are presented in either yuan (RMB, current price) and/or US dollars. Exchange rate for 2006 is based on the annual average rate (7.9 yuan per US dollar). The word "demand" is used interchangeably with "consumption". Totals may not add due to rounding.

Executive Summary

China has experienced over two decades of high economic growth, which has been stimulated by the consecutive increases of industrial output, consumer consumption and capital investment. China' s GDP has been growing at 11% per annum. National industry output has been advancing at 10.3% annually and will continue to sustain a strong growth into the next decade. The fast-growing middle class is creating an enormous consumer society. As the fastest-growing economy in the world, the emerging market has attracted the attention of investors and corporations around the world for the last two decades.

To deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises is a long-term task and needs great efforts. The reform of state-owned economy has witnessed rapid changes in both economic and social aspects. The introduction of foreign advanced technology and capitals will continue to be favored by the Chinese government and business community. New ways will be adopted to utilize foreign investment, including mergers, acquisition, and investment funds and securities investment. China will continue to improve its investment environment in the areas of legal system, intellectual property protection, foreign trade and investment regulation, infrastructure and financial system. China is the second largest foreign investment recipient after the United States in the world today. Given its vast market, the country provides tremendous opportunities for investment and trade both for the present and future.
