Survey of PAP and Paracetamol in Asia Pacific

Driven by the demand from the downstream products especially paracetamol, para-aminophenol (PAP) of China keeps developing in recent years. As the main PAP producer in the world, the output of PAP in China already comes to about 110,000 tonnes in 2010.

China and India, two largest API producers in the world, supply 80% of the global paracetamol market in 2010, leading Asia to be the largest origin of paracetamol. Meanwhile, the huge population makes it the largest consumption market of the world. Asia consumes 65,400 tonnes of paracetamol-half of the global output of 2010, though part of that is exported in the form of formulation. As the economy develops, Asia market will be more important.

We study the six most populous countries of AP including China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Japan. Based on the potential of the current market, the panorama of Asia paracetamol can be drawn out.
