Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xzxgj3/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Aramid Fiber Industry Report, 2015-2018" report to their offering. Global aramid fiber capacity has approached 130kt by the end of Oct 2015, mostly distributed in North America, Europe, and Asia. Para-aramid fiber, accounting for about 63% of total global aramid fiber capacity, are primarily used in protection materials, high temperature resistant materials, and rope/optical cable; and meta-aramid fiber is chiefly used in insulation, flame resistance, and filtration fields. American DuPont and Japanese Teijin are the two major producers of aramid fiber around the globe, holding a combined 63% share of total meta-aramid fiber capacity and 77% of total para-aramid fiber capacity in the world by the end of Oct 2015. 2,200 tons/a of meta-aramid fiber (Thailand factory) was new capacity put into operation by Teijin in Aug 2015. China is late starter in aramid fiber industry with outdated production technology. The country seized only 15% of the world's total aramid fiber capacity as of the end of Oct 2015. The supply exceeded the demand in the Chinese meta-aramid fiber market during 2011-2015, particularly in competitive low-end product market. It is predicted that China will produce 12,000 tons of meta-aramid fiber in 2015 with 1,200 tons exported. Para-aramid fiber, on the contrary, has been in short supply and needs to be imported. However, as the output of para-aramid fiber increases, China has reduced its dependency on imports of para-aramid fiber in recent years, with import dependency expected to fall below 40% in 2015. Major Chinese meta-aramid fiber producers are Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials and SRO Aramid (Jiangsu), with the former boasting meta-aramid fiber capacity of 7,600 tons and the latter 4,500 tons by the end of Oct 2015. Moreover, Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials is building 1,000 t/a meta-aramid fiber capacity which is expected to go into production in early 2016; SRO Aramid (Jiangsu) plans to put 2,500 t/a meta-aramid fiber capacity into production in 2016. There are five para-aramid fiber producers in China, respectively Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials, Suzhou Zhaoda Specially Fiber Technical, China BlueStar Chengrand Research & Design Institute of Chemical Industry, Shenma Industry, and Hebei Silicon Valley Chemical. Para-aramid fiber production facilities are not mature in China, and only Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials has stable production lines with annual output of around 500 tons.

M2 - Wed May 27, 2:38AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3mrhwq/china_pet_and_pbt) has announced the addition of the "China PET & PBT Resins Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2020" report to their offering. PET & PBT resins market in China is projected to cross USD11.6 billion by 2020 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a plastic polymer produced by reacting two raw materials, Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) & Monoethylene Glycol (MEG); whereas Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is manufactured from PTA and BDO (1, 4-butanediol). PET & PBT resins demand in China has been witnessing robust growth over the last five years, owing to large market potential and increasing usage in end user industries such as packaging films/sheets, bottling, and electronic and automotive components. Increase in demand for PET resins is primarily driven by the replacement of traditional packaging materials like glass, aluminum, paper and metal, coupled with continuing growth in FMCG sector. The demand for PBT resins is growing on account of its increasing use in manufacturing electronic and automobile components. East China provinces such as Shanghai, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, etc. account for the largest demand for PET and PBT resins in the country. Jiangsu Sanfangxiang Group Co., Ltd. is the largest PET resin manufacturer operating in China, followed by China Resources Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. and Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre Company Limited. Few of the major PBT resin playersin China include Xinjiang Blue Ridge Tunhe Polyester Co. Ltd, China National BlueStar (Group) Co, Ltd., BASF, SABIC and Jiangsu Heshili New Material Co., Ltd. China PET & PBT Resins Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020 discusses the following aspects related to PET & PBT resins market in China: - Increased focus towards Recycling of Plastics - Substitution of Metals over Plastics - Production Capacity Expansion - Inclination towards Bio-based Products - Development of PET/PBT Blends Key Topics Covered: 1. Research Methodology 2. Product Overview 3. Analyst View 4. Global PET & PBT Resins Market Outlook 5. China PET Resin Market Outlook 6. China PBT Resins Market Outlook 7.

Global and Chinese Aramid Fiber Industry Report, 2014-2017
M2 - Wed Dec 03, 8:03AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8wkkzk/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Aramid Fiber Industry Report, 2014-2017" report to their offering. As a kind of new hi-tech synthetic fiber, aramid fiber chiefly falls into meta-aramid fiber and para-aramid fiber, in which para-aramid fiber is much higher than the other in technical difficulty and performance indicators. Meta-aramid Fiber In 2013, global meta-aramid fiber capacity totaled 42 kt, mostly distributed in the United States, Europe and Asia, 27.4% of which was swept by China. Confronted with fierce competition in domestic market, some meta-aramid fiber products in China are exported overseas. In 2014, the output of meta-aramid fiber in China will hit 11 kt or so and net export volume of the product will be more than 800 tons, as it is predicted. Meta-aramid fiber in China is mainly applied in such fields as high temperature resistant filtration materials, safety protection, insulation paper, etc., among which high temperature resistant filtration materials accounted for over 50% of the total demand for meta-aramid fiber. Companies that have realized meta-aramid fiber industrialization consist of Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., SRO Aramid (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., Guangdong Charming Co., Ltd., etc., in which Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. wins the first place by production scale. It boasted a capacity of 7.6 kt of meta-aramid fiber as of the end of Sept. 2014; besides, its 1 kt/a meta-aramid fiber project is being constructed and is expected to be put into production in early 2015. Para-aramid Fiber In 2013, around 80 kt of para-aramid fiber was manufactured worldwide, involving major producers DuPont and Teijin Limited. Para-aramid fiber capacity of the aforementioned two giants approximated 80% of the world's total para-aramid fiber capacity. Para-aramid fiber industry in China developed late and progressively achieved industrialization in 2010. During 2010-2014, with multiple para-aramid fiber projects being put into production, para-aramid fiber output in China witnessed soaring growth and will hit about 1.3 kt in 2014 as it is predicted, lifting the country's self-sufficiency rate of para-aramid fiber market to over 50%. In 2014, there are mainly 5 para-aramid fiber companies in China, such as Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Zhaoda Specially Fiber Technical Co., Ltd., China BlueStar Chengrand Research & Design Institute of Chemical Industry, etc., wherein, the above three companies each boasted a capacity of 1 kt/a. The para-aramid fiber production equipments are still immature in China; only Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. has relatively stable production lines, capable of annually producing 500 tons or so of para-aramid fiber. For the moment, China is characterized by plenty of proposed/ongoing para-aramid fiber capacities, including 15 kt/a para-aramid fiber project jointly invested and built by Shenzhen Selen Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and China BlueStar Chengrand Research & Design Institute of Chemical Industry.
