Data to be collected and compiled by CCM will be sourced from: -
CCM database (mainly based on ValoTracer)
-
Published articles from Chinese periodicals, magazines, journals, third-party database
-
Government statistics & Customs statistics
-
Telephone interviews with Chinese producers

The research for the report will be consisted of six stages: 他
Stage 1 Desk research
The sources of desk research are various, including published magazines, journals, government statistics, industrial statistics, Customs statistics, association seminars as well as information from the Internet. A lot of work will go into compilation and analysis of the obtained information. Where necessary, checks will be made with Chinese suppliers regarding market information such as key producers, key end users, production, export and demand and so on. 他
Stage 2 Telephone interviews
CCM will carry out extensive telephone interviews in order to survey the actual market
situation of copper salts. Interviewees will cover: - Key producers - Key end users - Key traders - Key researchers - Some associations 他
Stage 3 Bottom-up research
According to telephone interviews, matrix Excel will be designed to deal with complicated and abundant data that are mainly about capacity, output and consumption. Based on the consumption data in 2009, future demand data in 2010~2015 will be forecasted with the method of bottom-up research.

Stage 4 Data analysis
All first-hand or second-hand info will be concentrated and analyzed to discover detailed situation of this industry in China.
他
Stage 5 Site visits (if necessary)
CCM will carry out site visits and face-to-face interviews with key traders and end users which are identified through telephone interviews. 3-5 site visits are necessary The goal is to verify the market data obtained through other channels. 他
Stage 6 Report generation
Logical analysis and scientific ratiocination will be conducted to generate the report. All the data and findings obtained at the above five stages will be presented in the report clearly. 5. Time and human resource for the research 2 senior researchers for about 1.5 month 6. Critical Path
