Methenamine industry started relatively late in China and most manufacturers are of small scale and their equipment and techniques are outdated, causing high cost and low operating rate. During the 11th five-year period, along with fast development of resin and plastics industries, as well as glyphosate, which have further pulled the demand for methenamine. Meanwhile, methenamine becomes more applied in other fields and some enterprises plan to start production lines. In 2012, output growth rate of methenamine reached two figures.

However, since 2014, for that China becomes more aware of environment protection and publised a green reform directive, small methenamine manufacturers faced the risk of being shut down for their low level of techniques and being not environmentally friendly. In 2016, output of methenamine was about 400,000 tonnes. And related techniques are improved, application field of the product is expanded. For the same year, sales volume of the product reached 400,000 tonnes.

During the first half year in 2017, some methenamine manufacturers in Hebei and Shandong stopped their production or outsourced their orders. Chinese government has made green reform more clear and greater attention has paid to the reform. At the beginning of 2017, methenamine was officially included on the list of hazardous chemicals liable to produce explosives, which brings challenges to manufacturers and opportunities to high-tech manufacturers. Generally, during the 13th five-year period, output of methenamine will slow down and is forecasted to be 543,000 tonnes in 2022. As for sales, about 540,000 tonnes methenamine will be sold in 2022.
