About China
China is the world's largest chemical producer and importer/exporter. It is the UK's eighth largest export market for chemicals and in 2022, UK businesses exported £736m worth of chemicals-related products and services to China, with £217m of this total including personal and home care ingredients.
With regulations changing to a clearer and simpler process for imported chemicals, 9,014 ingredients can now be imported directly to China. High quality products will be more competitive in the China market, in accordance with regulation on testing and evaluations coming into effect in 2024.
