INTRODUCTION

The construction materials industry has been a major player in China's overall manufacturing sector. In 2005, China's construction materials industry accounted for 6.8% and 4.1% respectively of total enterprises number and national output. Rapid economic development in China has led to a corresponding increase in construction materials consumption. Leading international players that have formed joint ventures in China include Lafarge, Taiheiyo Cement, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, AGC, Kohler, American Standard, Toto, Owens Corning, Sarnafil, Sekisui, and others. China is now one of the world's largest construction materials producers with annual output of cement, flat glass, building ceramic and ceramic sanitaryware ranking first in the world. China will continue to be an important player in the global construction materials marketplace.

BCC's goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of China's construction materials and equipment industry and assess its growth potential over a 5-year period from 2006 to 2011. Our key objective was to present a comprehensive analysis of China's current construction materials and equipment market and its future direction.
