DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f546afa4/outlook_for_china) has announced the addition of the "Outlook for China Glyphosate Industry 2012-2016" report to their offering.
Glyphosate, a broad-spectrum non-selective herbicide widely used to kill unwanted plants both in agricultural and in nonagricultural landscapes, has been in a leading position in the world's herbicides in the past few years. It is estimated that the global consumption of glyphosate in 2011 is about 650,000 tonnes (converted to glyphosate technical 95%) and will increase with a CAGR of over 3.10% during 2012-2016.
Though the global glyphosate industry has witnessed low price, poor profit (mainly technical), oversupply, etc. since the end of 2008, China remains the top production country of glyphosate in the world with glyphosate technical capacity of over 700,000t/a in 2011, but a certain number of domestic glyphosate production units kept idle all the year around. With strong competitiveness in technical and low-level formulation production, China will play a more and more important role in global glyphosate industry in the coming few years.
Three production routes for glyphosate technical namely glycine route, IDAN route and DEA route coexist in China. In recent few years, the domestic PMIDA & glyphosate technical production has made marked progress, consisting in rising yield, mature by-product recovery technology, continuous R&D and application of waste water treatment technology (mainly membrane separation technology), etc.; in addition, the supply and the price of the key raw materials including DEA, glycine, IDAN, etc. have changed much since 2008, thus the competition among the three routes is becoming fierce and will be more fierce in the future. You can find the above mentioned details in this report.
