Production

By Mar. 2013, the capacity of domestic propanil has reached xxxt/a, with an output of xxx tonnes in 2012 mainly consumed by the export market. There are xxx active producers of propanil technical in China up to Mar. 2013. Domestic propanil technical capacity is mainly concentrated in xxx Province (whose output accounts for around xxx% of the domestic total in 2012). The output of propanil formulations is about xxx tonnes in China in 2012, mainly propanil xxxg/L EC, propanil xxxg/L EC and propanil xxxg/L EC. Thanks to the increasing overseas demand, China's output of propanil will continuously increase with an expected CAGR of xxx% from 2013-2017.

Import & export

China imported almost no propanil technical and propanil formulations in the past few years.

The total export volume of propanil keeps increasing sharply in 2012, reaching its highest point of xxx tonnes (converted to 97% technical), a near xxx of that in 2011. xxx is the largest export destination of propanil technical from China, accounting for about xxx% of the total in 2012. In terms of propanil formulations, over xxx% of Chinese exported propanil formulations is exported to xxx.

Price

On the whole, China's propanil price saw an uptrend from 2007 to 2012. The average ex-work price of 97% propanil technical increased by xxx% from 2007 to 2012. The main factors included the increased labour cost and price of raw materials.

Demand

Domestic consumption of propanil has kept rising steadily in the past few years, with a CAGR of xxx% from 2010 to 2012. xxx is a major application field of propanil, representing almost all the domestic consumption of propanil. China's demand for propanil is predicted to remain stable in the coming five years, consuming about xxx tonnes of propanil (converted to 97% technical) per year.
