Abstract
Consider these statistics:
- 303 million mobile phones
- 82 million television sets
- 68 million air conditioning units
- 5 million cars
These figures provide an insight into the scale of production of consumer goods in China in 2005, a year in which not all industries in the country were seen to perform at their best.
What are the trends for these industries and for the finishing of such consumer goods? To answer these and other questions, IRL will shortly be publishing Potential of Automotive-Related Coatings in China, a new study which looks at major consumer goods sectors and the coatings that they consume.
This report offers a good collective background for China' s major manufacturing industries, highlighting major production centres for different goods and offering a wealth of manufacturing statistics, key production capacities, output growth data, recent, current and future trends.
Major producers of consumer goods in areas such as cars, televisions, sound systems, air conditioning, toys, footwear, computing equipment, mobile phones, white goods etc are all identified together with major suppliers of coatings for use in the finishing of these items.
Research for this title has included an extensive interview programme with Chinese coatings industry executives (over the period October - December 2006), which has been undertaken by staff at our Beijing office.
This report will serve as a valuable tool to strategic planners, business analysts and marketing managers involved in the manufacture, distribution and marketing of paints and coatings and their raw materials.
