Chinese foamed polymer industry studied

ERJ staff report (DS)

Dublin, Ireland -- Research In China has published a new report titled, China Polymer Foam Material Industry Report, 2010-2011 . The 79-page report was first published in August 2011 and is available for a price of around Euro 1400, depending on delivery options.

The publishers say, "In China, there are numerous polymer foam materials production enterprises, but most of them are SMEs. The industry features fierce competition, and the number of foam plastic manufacturers registered above 1,200 in 2010. Although the China polymer foam materials industry is mature, domestic producers mainly focus on medium and low-end products, with some high-end products still imported. The unit price of imports differs greatly from that of exports. For example, in 2010, the import unit price of expanded polyurethane plastic was USD11,036.8/ton, while the export unit price was USD5,178.9/ ton, the former double of the latter."
