Description:

Among the major para formaldehyde (PF) producers, China, Spain and the US, through the world, China ranks the first in PF production. Meanwhile, China is also the largest PF consumer. In 2007, the capacity and consumption of PF in China was 228,000 tonnes and 102,036 tonnes, respectively. It is estimated that the capacity and consumption of PF in China accounts for around 50% and 55% of the global total respectively.



Chinese PF industry is greatly subject to the development of its downstream industry, especially herbicide. The flourish of glyphosate, a herbicide, is the largest driving force of the development of PF in China.



The report mainly focuses on the following problems:

What is the production situation of PF in China? including the major producers, the development trend of production technology, the pricing of PF in recent years and etc.

What changes have taken to China’s import and export of PF in recent years?

What factors are influencing the development of PF?



The report also discloses the production situation of glyphosate, the largest consumption field of PF in China. At present, there are main 2 production pathways of glyphosate, namely AEA pathway and ITA pathway. While using PF as the raw material, is only in the production of glyphosate with the AEA pathway. At present, the output of glyphosate by AEA pathway in China accounts for 62.5% of the total in 2007. The competition of the two pathways is the major factor influencing the development of PF. Being the dominant pathway, AEA now faces challenges of IDA pathway. Can its dominance last in the future?
