(www.cri-report.com) - Global consumer markets suffered seriously in the financial crisis in 2008. As a result, residents curtailed unnecessary expenses, which made the market demand decline. In return, global aerosol output volume also declined. However, since 2010, global markets have gradually recovered. In the past few years, global aerosol output volume showed a rising trend. It increased from 12 billion cans in 2006 to 14.4 billion cans in 2012, with CAGR of 3.1%.

It is estimated that the global output volume of aerosol products will exceed 16 billion cans by 2017. The CAGR will maintain around 3% during 2011-2016. Proportion of China aerosol output volume in the world will increase from 11.2% in 2012 to 18.8% in 2017. China has become an important aerosol producer, aerosol OEM and aerosol consumer in the world.

In China market, there are more than 1,000 aerosol brands, which mainly concentrated in insecticide, paint and auto-care. In the early stage, most factories were low-end product manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers with lagging production lines and technology. The major product strategies were following strategies. With the rapid development in ASEAN and other BRICS, China's industry advantages in international competition gradually become weak. The performance in domestic market is also inconsistent with the huge Chinese market. In recent years, some leading aerosol enterprises actively engage in developing new aerosol products and bring in foreign advanced production lines. Since the second half of 2010, the demand for auto-care products, personal care products and aluminum aerosol cans home and abroad has been increasing. As a result, the aerosol industry achieved a full recovery. At present, there are various aerosol products in Chinese market, which include insecticide aerosol, paint aerosol, household aerosol, personal-care aerosol, auto-care aerosol, food aerosol, medical aerosol and industrial aerosol.

Aerosol industry in China develops rapidly in recent years with huge market prospect. Aerosol industry started in the early 1980s in China and the aerosol output volume was only 30 million cans in the mid 1980s. The output volume rocketed to 560 million cans in 2000 and even reached 1.61 billion cans in 2012. China has already been one of the largest aerosol producers in the world. In 2008-2012, although the cardinal number was very large, CAGR still reached 11.3%, which is higher than the GDP growth rate. However, in terms of consumption per capita, the annual consumption per capita of aerosol was 0.79 cans in 2008 and it was 1.19 cans in 2012. It is greatly different from that of the world, which is 2 cans. It is equivalent to less than 1/10 of that in the U.S. (12.3 cans). The data also shows that there is huge potential for aerosol products in Chinese market. It will be a superb opportunity to develop for aerosol manufacturers.

Aerosol product structure is constantly optimizing in China. Presently, insecticide and paint are the Top 2 products by the proportion in China aerosol market. However, personal care products and household goods are the Top 2 products by the proportion in the global aerosol market. The two proportions can separately reach 40% and 30% in mature markets. In recent years, the proportion of insecticide and paint is declining while the proportion of personal products and household products is obviously rising in China aerosol market. It is mainly caused by the rapid development of economy. Household products and auto products have close relationship with livelihood, so the consumption of them increases with the increase of disposable income. Therefore, in terms of product structure, there is huge space in domestic market for aerosol products. Industry concentration is strengthening. Along with the gradually maturing aerosol market in China, the leading enterprises are constantly expanding the production scale and developing high-value products. As a result, their market share will become higher. Although aerosol brands are still rather decentralized, after a new round of self-elimination and shuffle, the concentration of aerosol industry will be improved constantly.

Aerosol is direct-to-consumer products. In recent years, consumer markets develop rapidly, which brings great market demand in aerosol industry. With the continuous development of national economy, people's consumption level improved, life quality and spending habits changed and knowledge on aerosol products deepened. All of these will provoke the consumption and output volume of aerosol and China aerosol industry will enter a rapid development stage. According to China Research and Intelligence, the annual output volume of aerosol will reach 3.15 billion cans by 2017 and the annual per capita consumption will reach the world average.

After the reform and opening up, ship repair enterprises in Liaoning, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, etc are being expanded and strengthened continuously. The regional competition of Chinese ship repair industry concentrates in three regions - the Bohai Bay Rim centering on Dalian, Yangtze River Delta centering on Zhoushan and the Pearl River Delta centering on Guangzhou. Influenced by the financial crisis, Chinese ship repair industry sustained depression in 2009. Specifically, the volume of ships for repair was raised, while the repair business of single ship suffered drastic decline with substantial price reduction. The average plate renewing price was reduced from 2,800-2,900 USD/ton at the end of September 2008 to 1,000 USD/ton or even 900 USD/ton, approaching the record low. This is mainly because many enterprises competed for orders by low price. In 2009, the market scale of Chinese ship repair industry was about CNY 57 billion, dropping by about 5% YOY. It is forecast that Chinese ship repair industry will recover in 2010.

In recent years, the construction of repair docks in China is sped up and great achievements have been made. The reserving volume of Chinese repair docks also acquires a higher ranking in the world. By the end of 2008, the reserving volume of 50,000-ton and above repair dock in China reached 59 with a capacity of near 8.39 million tons. The repair volume of major ship repair enterprises came to about 5,310, roughly 100 million DWT. The repair volume of foreign ships exceeded 1,784 with a total weight of 81.84 million DWT.

The world ship repair center has been transferred to the region represented by China and has taken shape preliminarily, providing the opportunity for the development of Chinese ship repair industry. The advantages of Chinese ship repair industry in cost, geography and economic development will long exist. The modernized development of Chinese industry is in the primary stage at present. The labor-intensive advantage will be replaced gradually by technology and capital intensive advantages.

Since Chinese first bank card was issued by Bank of China Zhuhai Branch in 1985, the functions of bank card are perfected progressively. The bank card, with its convenience and safety, gradually acquires the recognition of Chinese people. Therefore, the application scope of bank card is also enlarging. An increasing number of residents and traders begin to accept bank cards.

In recent years, China's bank card industry develops vigorously. By the end of 2009, the total issue volume of bank cards reached about 2.06 billion in China. The penetration rate of bank cards was 32%. The issue volume of credit cards came to 186 million with the total credit line of about CNY 1.36 billion and the final repayable credit of about CNY 245.76 billion. The bank card plays an increasingly important part in the social and economic activities.

Large state-owned commercial banks and joint-stock commercial banks dominate Chinese bank card market. The market share of the four major state-owned commercial banks of China was over 40% in Chinese new card issue market in 2009.

Co-branded card issue has become the mainstream strategy considering the card issue conditions of banks. The growth in the number of card issuers intensifies the competition in Chinese bank card market. Under the circumstances, it is an important market strategy for card issuers to search for cooperative partners, fully integrate the superior resources of cooperators, promote co-branded cards with the assistance of cooperators, and attract and keep clients by offering various preferential measures.

At the end of 2006, the Regulation of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Foreign-funded Banks was issued and came into effect, marking the opening of the CNY business to foreign-funded banks. Solely foreign funded banks, Sino-foreign joint venture banks and branches of foreign banks in China can operate the CNY businesses specified by the Regulation. Particularly, the locally-registered foreign-funded banks are encouraged by Chinese policies. According to the Article 29 and Article 31 of the Regulation, foreign-funded banks (including solely foreign funded banks and Sino-foreign joint venture banks) registered locally can operate the "bank card business", but branches of foreign banks are prevented from dealing with this business. In the CNY retail business, solely foreign-funded banks, Sino-foreign joint ventures and branches of foreign banks can all take public deposits. However, the branches of foreign banks can only take the deposit of over CNY 1 million, while there is no restriction of deposit amount on solely foreign-funded banks and Sino-foreign joint ventures.

Moreover, according to the Regulation, when foreign banks are transformed into the locally-registered banks, they can issue CNY credit cards in China. Presently, a number of foreign-funded banks have issued various debit cards in China. In the past few years, the Bank of East Asia has even released several types of credit cards.

The opening to foreign-funded banks enables them to operate bank card business in China. This will definitely lead to some changes in Chinese bank card business environment and intensify the competition in Chinese bank card sector. Nevertheless, the competition will prompt Chinese banks to absorb the successful experience of foreign-funded banks in bank card business, thereby promoting the development of Chinese bank card business and bringing convenience to Chinese residents in their finance activities.
