Research findings

Comparative structure study

The largest recorded reporting jurisdiction, Shandong, contains 96 records (13.0% of this 740-record cohort). The remaining cohort contains 644 records. The comparison concerns archive composition.

The recorded industry label Advanced materials accounts for 54.2% here (401/740), compared with 52.1% in the parent set (411/789), an absolute gap of 2.1 percentage points.

260/740 companies link to pages with existing source-supported excerpts (35.1% of the cohort). The other 480 records remain usable for archive composition, but do not support new operating case studies.

Ratio of label participation, not market share; multi-label counts overlap.

Excluding this cohort, the recorded industry label Advanced materials covers 10/49 remaining records (20.4%), an absolute gap of 33.8 percentage points from this cohort.

Concentration and cross-sectional structure

The full reporting jurisdiction distribution has 34 labels; the top 3 contain 243/740 records (32.8%).Other known labels contain 497 records.

For 740 records with known labels, the effective category count is 16.2, versus 34 actual labels. Definitions and scope are in the methodology.

The table shows ten labels; 24 others are included in the calculations above.

A rule hit prioritises review; it does not establish that the entire field is wrong. One record can trigger several rules.

Intersection with 2026 local lists

184 of this cohort’s 740 records link through existing company-ID mappings to 2026 lists from all jurisdictions (24.9%). This intersection measures list linkage, not successful recognition or company growth.

Recorded roles and delivery checks

Intermediates and high-purity products need scale-up checks

The General-purpose fine chemicals label covers 199 records (26.9% of this cohort). This archive clue raises a verification question about Defined chemicals with process and pilot documents; it does not establish that these companies already deliver it.
