Abstract
Report Scope and Methodology
This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment,
insulation materials industry structure and capacity, production and demand,
end-use market consumption trends, distribution channels and trading
companies, major research institutes and principal industry participants.
Long-term forecasts for major insulation materials production and demand are
included. Key Chinese insulation materials producers, major end-users are
profiled and listed in the producer directory section.
Both primary and secondary research was done in China in order to access
up-to-date government publications, market information and industry data. Data
were collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese Chemical
industry associations including Chinese insulation materials industry
associations, local government' s chemical industry bureaus, insulation
materials industry publications, and our in-house databases. Interviews were
conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and insulation
materials 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 (about 7.9 yuan per US dollar). The word "demand"is used
interchangeably with "consumption"and "output"is used interchangeably with
"production". Totals may not add due to rounding.
