China’s iron oxides sector is an export-orientedsector whose dependence on exports exceeds50%.With impacts from the global financialcrisis,China’s export of iron oxide has reducedsubstantially.In 2009,the export volume wasdown by nearly 20% year over year and theexport value fell by more than 30%.Driven by the stimulation programs of thegovernment,the demand for iron oxide inconstruction materials,coatings,rubbers,plastics and petrochemical catalyst sectorsrecovered in 2009,making the sales amountof iron oxide grow 15.8% over 2008.Thedomestic demand has become the major drivefor the growth of the iron oxide sector.The overall situation of China’s iron oxide China’s iron oxide sector is an export-orientedsector whose dependence on exports accounted for 50% .With impacts from the global financial crisis, China’s export of iron oxide has reduced subbstantially.In 2009, the export volume was reduced by nearly 20% year over year and theexport value fell by more than 30%.
