Report title:: Polyethylene film markets in China Date of publication: 2005 Overview: Building on AMI’s work on polyethylene film markets in North America and Europe, this study provides an in-depth analysis of and the prospects for polyethylene in film products in China. The need for this study is dramatically illustrated by the remarkable level of growth and change this market has been experiencing. China is now the biggest polyethylene film producing country in the world and its influence in terms of both polymer usage and the production of finished goods is being felt around the world. The industry is enjoying rapid growth on the back of the burgeoning Chinese economy and the opportunity to offer low cost manufacturing locations for producers of finished goods that can be exported around the world. Production of polyethylene film amounted to more than 7.3 million tonnes in 2004 of which nearly 1 million tonnes was exported mainly as bags or sacks.In this report polyethylene film markets are tracked from 1998 with forecasts through to 2009 providing an unrivalled overview of the development and future prospects for polyethylene materials. This complete analysis considers the role of all grades from conventional LDPE through to the newer metallocenes and where and how they will be used by processors. Trends within individual application sectors are shown as well as a comprehensive review of who are the leading polyethylene film extruders in China. Product scope: Conventional low density polyethylene (LDPE), C4 linear LDPE (butene), C6 linear LDPE (hexene, pentene), C8 linear LDPE (octene), very and ultra low LDPE, metallocene LLDPE, medium density polyethylene (MDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), EVA, ionomer, reclaim/reprocessed polyethylene. Market scope: Film extrusion: pallet shrink, collation shrink, stretch film, heavy duty sacks, refuse sacks, agricultural mulch, agricultural silage, agricultural greenhouse, building film, refuse sacks, hygiene films, carrier bags, other bags/sacks, liners, food packaging, frozen food packaging, technical coextrusions, and other films Geographic scope: People’s Republic of China Price: The full subscription price is EUR7000 (USD 9000). The fee includes three printed copies of the report. Further information: For any other questions please contact Andrew Reynolds: apr@amiplastics.com
