Abstract
Report Scope and Methodology
This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment, unsaturated polyester resins 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 unsaturated polyester resins production and demand are included. Key Chinese unsaturated polyester resins producers and 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 was collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese Chemical industry associations including Chinese unsaturated polyester resins industry associations, local government' s chemical industry bureaus, unsaturated polyester resins industry publications, and our in-house databases. Interviews were conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and unsaturated polyester resins 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 (about 7.9 yuan per US dollar). The word "demand2 is used interchangeably with "consumption" and "output" is used interchangeably with "production". 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.
