MAJOR TRENDS IN CHINA’S DAIRY FOOD MARKET

A proper understanding of the major trends in China’s Dairy Food market helps organizations identify innovative products for future growth, and understand the shifting dynamics of the market in order to secure maximum sales. 

Personal Space & Time 

The fast pace of life, rising disposable incomes, and improvement in the standard of living is driving consumers to create their own bubble of space and time in which to relax. This is driving the consumption of specialty Dairy products such as frozen yogurt, custard and Dairy desserts. As a result, the manufacturers focus on providing these products with better taste and flavor using attractive packaging. These varieties not only satisfy a need for quality, but also motivate consumers to indulge with small treats and reward themselves with a personal moment of enjoyment.

Value for Money

The Chinese traditionally are very cost-conscious and this characteristic of theirs is driving them towards value priced products. Chinese consumers tend to adhere to a strict shopping list and are mindful of not going over budget. However, Dairy has been an exception, especially after the melamine incident in 2008, and consumers tend to be very vary of the value of the product they buy and aren't just looking at the cheapest brand, but want the better brand. The desire for better value shows that consumers are also on the lookout for richer quality, as Dairy food is a staple food category.


After a series of food safety incidents in China‘s Milk market, consumers are willing to pay more for better quality and are spending more time researching and exploring product nuances. Deyatur Pure Milk from Germany is one such product that satisfies consumers need for a better value and which does not procure raw material locally since it is a common perception among many Chinese that imported milk is pure and they get better value for money.

2017 Industrial Valves Industry



The report “World Industrial Valves to 2017″ by Freedonia Group is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com vwith World Industrial Valves to 2017 in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

World industrial valves market demand to rise 5.1% annually through 2017

Global demand for industrial valves is forecast to grow 5.1 percent per annum through 2017 making this industry worth more than $80 billion. Although growth will be healthy across the globe (spurred by recovery from the recent economic downturn), the drivers of industrial valve industry growth will vary by region. Advances in developing areas such as China and India will result from industrialization, as investment in water infrastructure and electricity generation grows. In developed areas, continued advances in manufacturing output will provide growth in the process manufacturing market. Oil producing nations such as those in the Middle East will post gains due to rising drilling activity. In the US, the industrial valves industry demand will benefit from the boom in hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas market, as well as from the improved economy.

China emerged as the largest producer of industrial valves in 2012. China has developed the largest trade surplus in the world, and it is expected to grow through the forecast period. Germany, Italy, and Japan are also major net exporters, each with a surplus of over $1 billion in 2012.


Process manufacturing market to post strong gains
Process manufacturing will post strong gains in industrial valve market demand, driven by growing output, especially in the chemical industry. Rising standards of living will boost capacity in process manufacturing in developing regions. In addition, the need for more efficient manufacturing operations in developed nations will spur investment in new equipment, benefiting valves. Advances in valve demand in the water infrastructure market will result from two key factors: in developing nations, access to water supply and sanitation will be increased; in developed nations, aging water infrastructure will need repair and upgrade. Industrial valves’ demand in the oil and gas market will benefit from increased oil and gas production, which will require additional investment in pipeline infrastructure.

Automatic valves to outpace conventional types
Demand for automatic valves will outpace conventional valves due to ongoing efforts by process manufacturers to improve operational efficiencies. The strongest gains will be registered in sales of separately sold automatic actuators, which are used together with standard valves to allow for automated valve functions, and are less expensive than automatic control and regulator valves with actuators pre-installed.


Companies Profiled in this industrial valves market report include
Over 40 valve leaders such as Cameron, Crane, Emerson Electric, Flowserve, Kitz and Pentair and more.

Additional Information
This study examines the global market for industrial valves. Product segments covered are
  • standard hand-operated multiturn (globe, gate, check, pinch, and diaphragm)
  • quarterturn (plug, ball, and butterfly)
  • other conventional valve designs (safety and relief, plumbing and heating, nuclear, waterworks, miscellaneous valve designs and separately sold valve bodies, actuators, and parts)
  • automatic (also referred to as automated) control (actuated by pneumatic, solenoid, electric, hydraulic, and digital mechanisms)
  • regulator valves and actuators
Excluded from the scope of this study are valves used in hydraulic- and pneumatic-powered systems, valves used primarily in automotive applications, and other original equipment-type valves used as components in internal combustion engines and other non-industrial applications.
Historical data (2002, 2007, and 2012) and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 are provided for sales of industrial valves at the aggregate level on a country-by-country basis, valued in millions of current US dollars, including inflation. The term “demand” refers to “apparent consumption,” and is defined as shipments (also referred to variously as “production,” “output,” or “supply”) from a country’s indigenous manufacturing facilities plus imports minus exports. It is used interchangeably with the terms “market,” “sales,” and “consumption.”
