Summary:

The polyurethane industry in China is growing and there are plans for further development in plants in the region. This report looks at the whole chemical supply chain in some depth with a focus on precursors for feedstock.

Companies manufacturing, importing and exporting are listed with volumes and pricing. Factors affecting the markets and pricing are examined including company strategies and incidents of plant shut down, and plans for increasing or decreasing feedstock supplies in the domestic Chinese markets.

Future prospects for the polyurethane industry are described. This report has been prepared by insiders in the Chinese polyurethane industry and provides a detailed analysis of the workings of the local chemical industry.
