Value chains covered:
For each value chain, the study provides:
- Market outlook: The study includes annual market outlooks to 2030 for each chemical and its derivatives where applicable. The market analysis will address the market potential for coal chemicals.
- Technology: The study includes a technology analysis on the currently available technologies that are either already being implemented or planned for implementation in China. The comparison of different technologies will also be provided..
- Economics: The study provides economic snapshots for the years 2012 and 2016 under several different integration scenarios for three locations in China (East China, Northwest China, Inner Mongolia). It also compares coal-based economics with competing naphtha-based technologies where applicable.
- Producers and project review: This study provides a full list of all the coal-based producers as well as projects currently in construction and planned. The study team conducts site visits and interviews to identify the actual progress of ongoing and planned coal chemical projects. IHS Chemical provides an unbiased view on the status for those plants under operation, as well as the probability that announced (but not under construction) projects will actually be built. The project list is provided in Excel format with detailed project status and project probability..
In addition, the study provides a China Economy Review and China Coal Market Overview, both of which will impact China coal chemical supply and demand.
The deliverables for the existing China Coal to Chemical Analysis report published in 2013 include the book in electronic form and project assessment in Excel. The deliverable for China Coal to Chemical Analysis update will consist of one optional interactive workshop/webinar, a PowerPoint presentation, and project assessment file in Excel.
- Price and margin sensitivity analysis from 2014-2020, and 2025

Coal: "China Coal Chemical Industry Analysis (2015 Update)"
The rapidly growing coal-to-chemicals industry will have a major impact on the conventional chemical industry. There has been significant progress since the original China Coal Chemical Industry Analysis was completed. This report updates previous study's project status for the coal to chemicals value chains in methanol, ethylene and propylene, MEG, PVC, and ethanol; adds new projects announced since the previous study was completed. It includes updated economic analysis for coal to methanol, ethylene and propylene, MEG, and ethanol and contains an updated market outlook through 2030.
