In order to figure out what factors driving up China’s glyphosate price, the publisher has done deep research on glyphosate industrial chain. Through analyzing on glyphosate’s production, raw materials, export, consumption, production technology and related policies, the publisher will unfold glyphosate market to you. From this report, you can not only obtain large amount of market information, but also find opportunities in China’s glyphosate market.

Due to the strict environmental inspections, lots of glyphosate producers in China have suspended their production, leading to the declining capacity of glyphosate in China. The output of glyphosate technical in China has been stable at 600,000 tonnes in recent years, but the operating rate kept going up in 2015-2019. Nevertheless, short-time tight supply can be seen frequently in China these years. How did those glyphosate producers seize the opportunities and earn as much market share as possible during the period of short-time tight supply? You can find the answer to this question in this report.

Strict environmental inspections have been carried out frequently in China nowadays. China’s glyphosate producers are facing with not only challenges from their competitors, but also threats from policies. Although some glyphosate producers have orders from customers, they fail to meet the market demand because of pollution problems in glyphosate production. Currently, hundreds of orders have flown into large glyphosate producers as those small producers are not strong enough to take those orders.

In 2018-2019, those large glyphosate producers seized this opportunity and enjoyed good performance in their business. Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. purchased 100% shares of Inner Mongolia Tenglong Chemical Co., Ltd in March 2018, and its revenue of glyphosate and related products in 2018 increased 34.6% year on year. Nantong Jiangshan Agrochemical and Chemicals Co., Ltd.’s revenue surged by 29.2% year on year in Q1-Q3 2019. In 2018, Zhejiang Wynca Chemical Group Co., Ltd. finished the relocation of its glyphosate plant. Its sales overall sharply increased, and the revenue from all sources of the company in 2018 increased 51.2% year on year. Furthermore, Wynca Chemical achieved 138.3% net profit year-on-year growth in 2018. Then what are those large producers and small producers of glyphosate in China doing when facing with strict environmental inspections? In this report, the answer will be unfolded through the analysis on production, technology and policy.

And what’s the trend of China’s glyphosate industry in the future? After reading the following topics in the report, you will have a clearer idea to this question and may find more opportunities in the glyphosate industry in China.

In this report, you will obtain the following information:
  • Key factors influencing China's glyphosate industry;
  • Key upstream products of glyphosate technical including glycine, DEA, IDAN, paraformaldehyde, and PMIDA;
