FW: China Reports: Analysis and Forecast of China Ethylene Oxide (EO) Industry, 2013

At present, manufacturers(http://www.researchmoz.us/analysis-and-forecast-of-china-ethylene-oxide-eo-industry-2013-report.html ) can adjust the production proportion of ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene glycol so as to achieve optimal economic benefit by adopting cooperative production devices for producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. Subjecting to ethylene oxide's characteristics and the restrictions of storage and transportation, so products must sell out timely with little inventory. The yield and sales volume basically keep a good balance. As of the end of 2012, there were about 26 enterprises producing ethylene oxide, with total production capacity of 2100kt/a, the actual annual output was 1410kt. Direct import and export are difficult due to safety factor. As for EO downstream industries in 2012, ethylene glycol accounted for 49% of market shares, non-ionic surface active agent 20%, water reducing agent 11%, polyether 7%, ethanolamine 8%, glycol ether 3%, choline and others accounted for about 2% of market shares. Consumption characteristics of ethylene oxide .
