IAL Consultants is pleased to announce plans
for a new title: A Profile of the Chinese
Printing Ink Industry. This first-edition
volume provides a detailed overview of
Chinas rapidly-expanding printing ink
industry.
The Chinese market for printing inks has
grown steadily over the past few years and in
2003 the market grew by 10%, with domestic
demand for ink exceeding 300,000 tonnes.
This growth has been fuelled mainly by the
explosion of the Chinese printing industry,
primarily in the packaging and publishing
sectors. In 2002 annual domestic production
of ink exceeded 171,000 tonnes, making
China the worlds No. 4 for ink output.
This Profile provides detailed analysis of this
dynamic market focusing on both Chinese
manufacturing and foreign investment.
The report will provide information on:
.
- The Chinese ink industry and its raw
material supply
.
- Chinese ink imports and exports
.
- Ink consumption and production by
region
.
- Market segmentation by end-use
sector
.
- Information on leading and smaller
ink producers in China
.
- Information on leading foreign
companies operating in China
The report will serve as a valuable tool for
strategic planners, business analysts and
marketing managers involved in the
manufacture, distribution and marketing of
printing inks and their raw materials.
Research for this profile will draw on a
variety of published sources, including inhouse
and library data.
An interview programme, undertaken by our
new Chinese research unit, is planned for
October-November 2004.
