Background
Fluorine, China, Market, information, 2011, fluoride, Fluorine industry in China is now developing fast with the advantages of rich raw materials, beneficial domestic policies, industrial transfer and huge demand from overseas, enjoying potential commercial opportunities. Fluorite is the start of fluorine industry, and China is rich in fluorite with reserves over 260 million tonnes which accounts for 2/3 of the global reserves and ranks first in the word. And China’s output of fluorite accounts for over 1/2 of the global output. China is also the top fluorite origin with large volume of fluorite exported every year. However, in recent years, the Chinese government has carried out series of policies to restrict the fluorite export as it is a kind of nonrenewable resources. Besides, due to strict environmental policy and high labor force in developed countries, many overseas producers of fluoride and intermediates have relocated to China, thus activating the fluorine industry to develop fast in recent years in China with CAGR of about 12% in 2006~2009. And the fluoride and intermediates instead of fluorite increase fast in export volume. Foreign enterprises’ entry into China’s fluorine industry brings fierce competition among producers and accelerates the fluorine industry upgrading in China. Current fluorine industry in China has the weakness of low industrial concentration, superfluous capacity of low end fluoride, obsolete technique and short industry chain. Fluorine industry will keep fast growing in the next few years in China, but compared with that in overseas markets, domestic fluoride is poor in species and quality. And current major application of fluoride in China is mainly in pharmaceutical, pesticide, electronic material, coatings and other particular areas. What’s more, the Chinese government also encourages fluorine fine chemaicals industry. Fluorine materials are listed in the State High and New Technology Products Catalogue (2006 edition) ¾

Profiles
CCM suggest doing Imp&Exp analysis for better understanding of this industry, as China is the top exporter of fluorite and fluoride. In recent years, export volume of fluorite and fluoride has accounted for about 20%~30% of the total output in China. Please be noted that trade analysis is extra service, but not included in this report and the above is our recommendation.

CCM’s Methodology
Desk research
Search of the second party information, including published magazines, journals, newspapers, Internet information, government documentation, etc. Desk research will help CCM to understand the industry more widely. Telephone interviews In order to define the actual production situation, comprehensive telephone interviews with major end-users & major producers of fluoride and major producers of fluorite will be carried out. If necessary, CCM will also contact traders, experts, academics, etc.
Site visit In order to verify the findings in desk research and telephone interviews, CCM will carry out the site visit to some target producers (2-4) and some end users (2-4). CCM Visit Team: -
CCM will use one team consist of two persons to carry out site visits;
-
The site visit team has good knowledge relating to fluorine industry.
CCM will set site visit target and relative evaluations to ensure the site visit successful. Third party assistant CCM will also consult various information sources such as industrial associations, local statistics, China Customs, etc. Data analysis CCM will employ its own methodology to make in-depth analysis and create a data matrix to conduct the analysis. ¾
Program Approach
At present, telephone interview is the key of survey. CCM will conduct severel terms of telephone interviews to reach the target of report.
CCM will seek available publications to get the historical data and general situation of fluoride applications in different industries. Then CCM will cross check the historical data and situation with experts or chairman in the industries association to ensure the accuracy of historical data and situation. CCM will summarize key factors on consumption, based on which CCM will forecast the future of consumption. CCM will also collect comments from experts, producers and consumers to revise the future trends in each downstream industry. Base on the desk research, CCM will generally confirm a few key fluoride and then search for some producers for preliminary telephone interview to figure out all the key fluoride. Further, CCM will investigate more fluoride producers according to the preliminary telephone interview. In the telephone interview, the production situation and major consumption filed of each fluoride will be referred. Base on the telephone interview of producers, CCM will search for end-users in each field and then conduct telephone interview with end-users to survey the consumption situation of fluoride and the application of fluorination technique. Then CCM will trace the origin of fluorination technique and conduct telephone interview with technique providers for more information about fluorination technique and corresponding products. ¾
