Research and Markets: Discover The Future of Yellow Phosphorus in China

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d56564/the_future_of_yell) has announced the addition of the "The Future of Yellow Phosphorus in China" report to their offering.

Yellow phosphorus, the second largest consumer of phosphorus ore, an irreplaceable and non-renewable resource and closely related to people's life, constitutes about 15% of phosphorus ore consumption in China.

China owns the largest capacity and output of yellow phosphorus in the world. However, overcapacity has emerged as an eminent problem in Chinese yellow phosphorus industry in recent years. For example China's capacity in 2008 is about double the size of the global demand, which is only about 800,000-900,000 tonnes every year. That suggests a very low operating rate of China's yellow phosphorus industry, about one third of its capacity during 2003-2008. What are reasons for the low operating rate, or why Chinese yellow phosphorus producers expand their capacity to such a large scale?

In China, like several years ago, most yellow phosphorus was consumed by thermal phosphoric acid and phosphorus trichloride in 2008. However, the consumption structure of yellow phosphorus is changing every year. The yellow phosphorus consumption by thermal phosphoric acid has been shrinking by consumption share in recent years, while the share of yellow phosphorus in phosphorus trichloride has been increasing. What other changes have taken place to Chinese yellow phosphorus consumption and what have driven such changes to happen?

The price of Chinese yellow phosphorus, closely related to supply/demand dynamics, changing with global economic environment, seasons, national policy etc., has experienced great fluctuations in 2008, with the highest reaching USD3,504/t and the lowest dropping to USD1,606/t.

It is estimated that the years of exploiting remaining for yellow phosphorus in China are only 30, so China is adjusting industrial structure of yellow phosphorus for saving phosphorus resource. What's the influence on resource supply, manufacturers, capacity and output of Chinese yellow phosphorus caused by adjusting industrial structure?

In this report, you can find the answers to all the above questions:

• What is the resource supply situation in China for yellow phosphorus industry?
• How is the production situation of Chinese yellow phosphors? The production part covers capacity & output, manufacturers' situation, price, existing problems, cutting edge technologies, comparison of production cost, competitive strategy, etc.
• How is yellow phosphorus consumed and what changes have taken place to the consumption in recent years?
• What are the development trends about capacity, output, manufacturers, resource supply, consumption situation in 2009-2018, based on large numbers of first-hand information and advanced forecast method?
• What is IE analysis of Chinese yellow phosphorus in 2008?
• What is SWOT analysis of top 5 manufacturers of Chinese yellow phosphorus industry in Jan. 2009?
• What are experts' comments on market opportunity of Chinese yellow phosphorus industry in the following years?

With this report, you will gain a complete and in-depth impression of Chinese yellow phosphorus industry, its past, present and future.
