Abstract
Report Scope and Methodology
This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment, building materials industry structure and capacity, production and demand, market consumption trends, distribution channels and principal industry participants. Long-term forecasts for major building materials production and demand are included. Key producers are profiled. Top Chinese building materials producers are listed in the producer directory section.
Most primary and secondary researches were 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 construction industry associations including local governments' chemical industry bureaus, building materials industry publications, and our in-house databases. Interviews were conducted with Chinese industry experts, university professors, and building materials producers in China.
Historical data include 1996, 2001 and 2006. Long-term development trends are projected to the years 2010 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.
