Understanding Oleochemical Industry in China
STAGES OF GROWTH IN CHINA OLEOCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
1. Initial Stage: Before the 1990s, China oleochemical industry mainly developed its home-grown technology and was confined to soap production and soap co-products like stearic acid and glycerol. The production scale was small and the technology was relatively backward.
2. Developing Stage: From the 1990s to the early 21st century, China’s further reform and opening up policies had created a good economic and political environment. Through introducing the advanced technologies of Germany, Italy and other countries, the production scale of enterprises was greatly enlarged and the technical level was improved, which laid a good foundation for the development of China oleochemical industry.
3. Rapid Growth Stage: Since 2003, the influx of some large multinational groups (mainly referring to those of Malaysia and Singapore) had brought in the advanced technologies and business principles. Meanwhile, many domestic enterprises began to build up or expand production devices, which greatly enhanced their production scale and concentration. Hence, the oleochemical industry entered into a rapid development period.
