Benchmarking on PAP and Paracetamol Production
in China
Proposal – The Third Edition
November 2010
1. Introduction
Paracetamol, short for para-acetamino phenol, plays an important role in NSAIDs, namely
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. And para-amino phenol (PAP) is the key raw material for
paracetamol production.
In 2008, CCM has carried out benchmarking on PAP and paracetamol production in China (the second
edition). And after two years, with more attention on environment from government and technological
improvement in production, the PAP and paracetamol production has changed much in China.
In this report, CCM will survey Bengbu Bayi (the only PAP producer adopting catalytic hydrogenation of
p-nitrophenol technology in China), Taixing Yangtze, Liaoning Shixing (top two PAP producers in terms
of capacity adopting iron reduction of p-nitrochlorobenzene technology) to replace PAP producers in
last edition (Jiangsu Zhongming, Liaoning Tianbao and Liaoning Jinhua), and add Zhejiang Kangle
(the third largest paracetamol producers in China) in paracetamol benchmarking.
In addition, the future of paracetamol, PAP and its upstream industry and the government's support in
China will be revealed in this report. CCM will also find out the alternative replacement product for
paracetamol, i.e. and the threat product for APAP in the future.
What are the aims of the report?
- Brief introduction to PAP and paracetamol industry in China
- Governmental policies on PAP & paracetamol industry in China
- Introduction to processes for PAP and paracetamol production
- Most popular methods of PAP and paracetamol in China
- Financial analysis of target PAP and paracetamol producers
- Production cost analysis on target PAP and paracetamol producers
- The future of paracetamol, PAP and its upstream industry
- The alternative replacement product for paracetamol, i.e. and the threat product for paracetamol in
the future

Difficulties and solutions
Item Difficulty Solution
Financial analysis Most producers are not listed companies, and
their financial data are not transparent.
Meanwhile, since these enterprises also
produce other products, financial data can’t
completely reflect the PAP or paracetamol
production.
Financial data will be purchased from
third party, and then given the analysis,
which is only a reference to benchmark
PAP or paracetamol production.
PAP producer According to our last visit experience, It is
difficult to site visit Liaoning Shixing and
Bengbu Bayi, especially for Bengbu Bayi, the
only PAP producer adopting catalytic
hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol technology in
China, who keeps their technology confidential.
CCM will endeavor to conduct the site
visit on these two producers. Or Lu’an
Pharm and Changshu Fengyi will be
alternatives for PAP producers. (except
Jiangsu Zhongming and Liaoning
Tianbao, these two companies rank
after above target producers in terms of
capacity)
Paracetamol producer We can not be sure to site visit all these three
producers to get the first-hand data.
Tianjin Bofa and Bayi Pharm will be
alternatives for paracetamol producer
survey. (these two companies rank after
above target producers in terms of
capacity)

Report generationSite visit
ValoTracer
StepData sources
Data to be collected and compiled by CCM will be sourced from:
- CCM database (mainly based on ValoTracer)
- Published articles from Chinese and foreign periodicals, magazines, journals, third-party database
- Telephone interviews with Chinese producers, raw materials suppliers
- Site visits on producers
- Comments from industrial experts
- Information from the Internet
- Other public media
The research for the report will consist of five stages:
Stage 1 Desk research
The sources of desk research are various, including Chinese and foreign published magazines,
journals, association seminars as well as information from the Internet. A lot of work will go into
compilation and analysis of the obtained information.
Stage 2 Telephone interviews
CCM will carry out extensive telephone interviews in order to survey the actual situation in PAP and
paracetamol production.
Interviewees will cover:
- Key producers

- Raw material suppliers
- Some associations
- Researchers and research institutes
Stage 3 Financial analysis
Financial data in 2009 will be gotten from third-party database suppliers or annual report about listed
companies. And then financial analysis will be necessary to further understand financial situation about
target producers. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages will be revealed after comparison among
the target producers who manufacture the same product.
Of course, financial analysis is only a reference to benchmark PAP or paracetamol production since
these enterprises not only produce PAP or paracetamol, but also other products.
Stage 4 Site visits
CCM will carry out site visits and face-to-face interviews with all target producers which will be identified
through telephone interviews.
The site visits will be presented in the finial report.
Stage 5 Report generation
Logical analysis and scientific ratiocination will be conducted to generate the report. All the data and
findings obtained in the above four stages will be presented in the report clearly.
5. Submission time
CCM schedules to finish this report in 2 months after you order.
