In the first half of 2007, China's dye and organic pigment industry faced significant challenges due to several key factors. The removal of export tax rebates, rising raw material costs, increased demand for "three wastes" management, and the appreciation of the renminbi all contributed to a difficult operating environment. Despite these obstacles, the industry maintained a generally stable development trend in terms of economic performance. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics and the China National Dyestuff Industry Association, national dye production reached 378,000 tons in the first half of 2007, reflecting a 10.9% year-on-year increase. Organic pigment output was 96,000 tons, up 12.6% compared to the same period last year. While both sectors saw growth, the rate of expansion slowed slightly. Dye output growth dropped by one percentage point, while organic pigment growth declined by two points. Despite these challenges, many companies adapted by shifting their strategies. They focused on improving product value, quality, and innovation, as well as enhancing after-sales services. This shift helped maintain or even improve profitability, even as some firms reduced their production volumes. Exports also showed strong performance. Dye exports totaled 197,700 tons, a 15.6% increase year-on-year, with foreign exchange earnings reaching $447.24 million, up 15%. However, export prices fell by about $15 per ton. For organic pigments, exports reached 81,253.4 tons (excluding paint-related products), an increase of 20.6%, with foreign exchange earnings rising 30.5% to $385.59 million. Although the number of exports slightly decreased, the average price per ton increased from $4,388 to $4,746, contributing an additional $29.12 million in revenue. Looking ahead, the second half of 2007 presented further difficulties due to macroeconomic policies and a slowdown in downstream industries. The pace of growth was expected to slow down. To adapt, the industry needed to focus on four key areas: monitoring tax rebate policy changes, strengthening energy conservation and pollution control, preparing for REACH regulations, and building a strong Chinese brand. With the implementation of new tax policies, many dye and pigment producers faced higher costs. Export-oriented companies that relied on low-cost production and tax incentives were under pressure. In response, long-term success would depend on technological advancement, product quality, branding, and customer service. Energy efficiency and environmental protection became more critical as the government introduced stricter regulations on emissions and waste management. Companies were encouraged to adopt cleaner technologies and modernize outdated processes. The EU’s REACH regulation, which came into effect in June 2007, posed new challenges for Chinese dyestuff exporters. Compliance became essential, as non-compliance could lead to market exclusion. With over one-third of China’s dye exports going to the EU, companies were urged to act quickly and prepare for regulatory changes. Finally, the industry needed to build a strong Chinese brand. Despite China’s dominance in global dye production, there was a need to enhance its reputation through innovation, quality, and marketing. Supporting large, competitive enterprises and focusing on intellectual property rights were crucial steps in this direction. It was an important time to strengthen the industry’s position and ensure sustainable growth in the international market.
