This report is a comprehensive analysis of the 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) industry in China. A review on the production, consumption and imports & exports of 2,4-D in 2011–2015 is provided in this report, which is focusing on the overall development of the industry in 2013–2015. What's more, a professional forecast on the prospect of 2,4-D is presented in the report.

The overall operating rate of 2,4-D manufacturers was unstable during these five years. From 2011 to 2015, 2,4-D industry in China confronted with challenge not only from severe competition due to oversupply, but also from environmental protection pressure. Nevertheless, there are still newly launched production lines in China during 2011-2015. How are those new production lines going on? Will they bring more pressure in China's 2,4-D market?

In this report, the following aspects are included:

• Production of 2,4 D technical in China, 2011-2015 (including capacity, output and key producers)
• Exports of 2,4 D technical and formulations in China by month, export destination, exporter and producer, 2013-2015
• Consumption of 2,4 D in China by crop/region, 2015
• Ex-works price of 2,4-D technical and formulations in China, 2011-2015
• Production technology of 2,4-D in China
• Forecast on the supply and demand of 2,4-D in China, 2016–2020
