The Future for China’s Aluminium Fluoride Industry
Ten years after storming the global market for aluminium fluoride, the Chinese have failed to capitalise on their position. Chinese producers undercut traditional suppliers, forcing some out of business and others to re-cast their business models. But since 2007, China has not been able to grow their exports or consolidate their market position.
Metal Bulletin Research examines why, and looks at whether this is ever likely to happen in its timely and on the ground research, The Future for China’s Aluminium Fluoride Industry. The comprehensive study provides detailed analysis on how China’s aluminium fluoride industry is structured and offers a detailed economic overview. An insight into the impact China has on the global industry is also included.
The study discusses which producers are expanding and who is declining in the marketplace. What strategies buyers can employ to achieve the most optimum price is also analysed.
Key questions addressed in the study:
1. How did the Chinese come to dominate the market?
2. What is the true profitability position of Chinese producers?
3. To what extent is fluorspar really the dominant price driver?
4. What happened in the last few years that caused the Chinese to falter?
5. What next for China’s aluminium fluoride producers?
Key features of this study include:
- Unique access and independent insight into the opaque Chinese aluminium industry;
- Developments with the Chinese government planning to introduce resource taxes and export duties affecting the global market – these factors are critically analysed in this study;
- Profile of key aluminium fluoride producers in China;
- Discussion of recent technology providers making legal claims against China’s largest producers;
