$7 Billion Market for Corrosion Resistant Materials in the Flow and Treatment Markets

In 2014, suppliers of corrosion resistant materials including FRP, resin-lined steel and stainless steel will generate revenues of just under $7 billion for applications in flow control and treatment. That is the conclusion reached in the McIlvaine online report, Air/Gas/Water/Fluid Treatment and Control: World Markets. (www.mcilvainecompany.com)

The biggest segment will be valves. Stainless and FRP valves are widely used in the chemical industry. Oil and gas applications where H2S is present also require corrosion resistant materials. New supercritical coal-fired boilers require expensive alloy stainless valves for the steam loop.

Power plant FGD is another big application. There is widespread use of FRP, resin lined steel and various alloys including the expensive C-276.

Do You Have A Lower Life Cycle Cost Product For The Chinese Market?

If you have a product or service which may be higher priced but will be a better value for the Chinese purchaser, then you should be moving forward to carve out a slice of the world’s largest market. If you have not yet acted because of any of the following false assumptions, you need to rethink your strategy.

 

False Assumption

Actual Opportunity

Cannot afford the investment

There are Chinese companies eager to partner if the product is superior.

Cannot trust Chinese partners

There are Chinese companies who are relying on distribution of international products and would not develop their own.

Too much financial risk

There are Chinese companies with deep pockets who will buy F.O.B. your shop and take all financial risk.

Lose intellectual property

Why are Thermo Fisher and all the major drug companies setting up research centers in China?

Create a competitor

The only way to avoid Chinese competition in your international market is to be a big player in China.

Chinese language will be a problem

McIlvaine Decisive Classification in Chinese, 4 Lane Knowledge Bridge, and Global Decisions Orchard eliminate this problem.
