Abstract
Report Scope and Methodology
This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment, melamine production capacity, supply and demand, end-use market consumption trends, and principal industry participants. Long-term forecasts for melamine output and consumption are included. Major melamine producers are profiled and listed in the producer directory section. Major trading companies are also listed.
Most primary and secondary research was done in China in order to access up-to-date government regulations, market information and industry data. Data was collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese language newspapers and magazines, Chinese chemical industry associations, local governments' chemical industry bureaus, and our in-house databases. Interviews were conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and melamine producers in China.
Historical data include 1996, 2001 and 2006. Longterm 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 (8.7 yuan per US dollar). The word "demand" is used interchangeably with "consumption". Totals may not add due to rounding.
