As an important pine product, gum rosin is widely used in the production of adhesive, paint & coating, rubber, food, paper and ink, batik, etc. Driven by great demand from overseas and increasing domestic consumption volume, China’s gum rosin industry developed fast in the past few years.
 
 China has abundant pine resources, which guarantees sufficient oleoresin for gum rosin production. However, in the past two years, infestation, eucalyptus planting and bad weather such as drought, heavy rain, snow, etc. have given greatly negative influence on oleoresin tapping in major pine growing areas, especially in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Jiangxi and Hubei. How heavily did they affect the production of gum rosin in these provinces? What kinds of measures have been taken?
 
 Chinese export volume of gum rosin has dropped sharply in recent three years. Is it related to the adjustment in Chinese policies on gum rosin export, such as repealing export quotas, lowering export rebate?
 
 Moreover, since most gum rosin is exported through the port of Huangpu, the price and stock of gum rosin reflect general domestic market trend. How about the fluctuation of gum rosin price in the past one and a half years and how much stock was stored in Huangpu port at the beginning of each month in the past two and a half years?
 
 In recent three years, since more and more domestic producers and multinational corporations are engaged in the deep-processing of gum rosin, domestic consumption volume has been increasing. How about the consumption structure of gum rosin in the past three years and has the demand shifted within these major markets? What about the future prospect on major downstream industries?
 
 The detailed answers of the above focuses will be given in this report, and it will also provide you an insightful analysis on other following aspects:
 
 - Position of Chinese gum rosin in the world
 - Production of gum rosin in the past few years in China
 - Key factors influencing the price of gum rosin and pricing in the past few years
 - Detail analysis on export & import of Chinese gum rosin in 2007~2009
 - Market size and share of gum rosin in major end use segments in 2007~2009
 - Multinational corporations’ impact on China’s gum rosin and gum rosin derivatives production, especially for several Japanese conglomerates
 - Future forecast on Chinese gum rosin production in the next 5~10 years
 - Introduction to major 30 gum rosin producers in China and know the latest dynamics on Chinese gum rosin industry
