Summary

With flourishing electronic industry, improving safety consciousness and environmental protection requirement, melamine cyanurate(MCA), which is mainly used as flame retardant in engineering plastics, especially in nylon, has enjoyed fast development in China in recent years. China has become one of the world's largest countries of MCA production and consumption. Meanwhile, attracted by low production cost and sufficient raw materials, more and more foreign manufacturers are planning to build plants in China. However, China's flame retardant market is still dominated by halogen flame retardant, so MCA consumption growth is much slower than its capacity expansion, thus resulting in low operating rate and intense competition in China's MCA market. How do Chinese MCA producers deal with this situation? Besides, Chinese MCA price is much lower than that in other countries, which brings price advantage to China's MCA. Will Chinese MCA product take up most of global market? Despite huge plastics industry, consumption of flame retardant is still too small in China, what are the reasons leading to such situation?

Besides the above questions, we would also focus on:
How about current technological progress?
What are the influencing factors for MCA pricing?
How is the trend for MCA and downstream industries in the future?
What are the strength and weakness of current MCA producers?
