Stable and stable
In 2017, the plastics processing industry focused on advancing supply-side structural reforms, centered on improving the quality and benefits of the industry's development, and persisting in innovation-driven innovations to help transform kinetic energy and achieve fruitful results.
Zhu Wenxuan stated that the nation's plastics processing industry has actively adjusted its structure, changed its methods, achieved stability and progress, maintained steady progress, and significantly accelerated structural adjustments, and foreign trade continued to improve. These achievements are embodied in those aspects? Zhu Wenxuan used detailed data one by one. Introduced -
Speed efficiency improved synchronously. In 2017, the aggregate statistics of the national plastic products industry accumulated a total output of 75.155 million tons, an increase of 3.44% year-on-year, a growth rate of 0.78 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; 15350 enterprises above designated size accumulatively completed the main business income 22808.36 Billion yuan, an increase of 6.74% year-on-year, and a growth rate of 0.63 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; main business income accounted for 9.41% of the light industry and 1.96% of the nation's total industrial industry. Accumulated profits totaled 135.468 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase. 4.81%, the growth rate decreased by 2.51 percentage points over the same period of last year; the total profit was 8.52% of the light industry and 1.8% of the national industry.
The structural layout became more reasonable. In 2017, the output of plastic products in ten provinces and cities in eastern China was 4,181.05 million tons (accounting for 55.63%), an increase of 2.61% over the same period of last year. The plastic products industry in the eastern region grew steadily. The output of Shandong Province and Fujian Province increased significantly. , The year-on-year growth rates were 10.02% and 7.36%, respectively. While the growth rate of the Guangdong Province's output was -1.22%, the main business income and total profit increased significantly, entering the stage of quality win. The output of the products was 18,565,600 tons (accounting for 24.04%), with a year-on-year growth rate of 5.05%, of which Jiangxi Province, Anhui Province, and Henan Province had higher output growth rates, which were 16.78%, 11.21%, and 7.18%, respectively. The output of plastic products in the district was 1,33.894 million tons (accounting for 17.81%), a year-on-year growth rate of 8.44%. The growth rate of output in the central and western regions was higher than the national average and was in a period of rapid growth.
The market space continues to expand. In 2017, the stable foundation for China’s foreign trade stability has been continuously consolidated. The potential for development is gradually being released, and the import and export of China’s plastic products industry has continued to increase. The accumulated export volume of the national plastic products industry was US$62.729 billion, an increase of 8.62 over the same period of last year. %, accounting for 10.46% of light industry export value; import value of 18.576 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.22%, accounting for 11.42% of the light industry import value; import and export value of 81.305 billion US dollars, a trade surplus of 44.153 billion US dollars. Under the impetus, advantageous companies have 'goed out' and set up factories in foreign countries, especially in the 'Belt and Road' countries, to expand new markets. Companies such as Blonde Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Liansu Technology Co., Ltd. have set up factories in India and other countries.
Accelerating enterprise integration. With the deepening of environmental protection improvement, raw material price increases and labor costs, etc., some small and micro enterprises that cannot occupy the market due to product innovation and quality improvement are once again faced with the difficulties of being 'shuffled' out. Large and medium-sized enterprises have the courage to innovate in dire straits and have a good momentum of development. The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, the transformation of the industry and the acceleration of enterprise integration.
Resolve difficulties and achieve breakthroughs
In 2017, facing the profound changes in innovation and development of the global plastics industry, the plastics processing industry has encountered many major difficulties and severe challenges while achieving remarkable results: The raw material prices have risen sharply, the most stringent environmental remediation has been made, and the prohibition order has been banned. Zhu Wenxuan said that the plastics industry in the country is advancing arduously and aggressively, further intensifying independent innovation, accelerating industrial upgrading and other initiatives to cope with development pressures, and achieving development and breakthroughs in difficulties and challenges.
'The rising cost has led companies to pay more attention to technological advancement and technological innovation.' Zhu Wenxuan said: 'Because domestic environmental protection improvement and promotion of supply-side reform eliminated a large number of low-end production capacity, and reduced scrap supply due to the prohibition of entry of foreign garbage, plus transportation Due to price increase and other reasons, in 2017, plastic raw material prices generally rose sharply, and product prices did not rise accordingly, posing severe challenges to the company's production. Faced with this pressure, enterprises are more concerned about technological progress and technological innovation, and constantly improve their own technology. Level of development: On the one hand, through the advancement of science and technology, technological innovation, etc., we will actively develop new products, increase the added value of products, and increase profitability; on the other hand, we will strengthen technological transformation, improve automation, increase production efficiency, reduce costs, and manage Innovation, reduce the company's internal operating costs, offset the loss caused by raw material price fluctuations. '
Environmental protection has led companies to pay more attention to cleaner production. According to Zhu Wenjun, since 2017, environmental protection has risen to the level of national strategy, and the environmental monitoring of air pollution by the government has been increasingly intensified. The central and local environmental supervision of enterprises More and more frequently, some companies are shut down due to non-compliance of discharges, production is limited, and rectification is carried out. For better survival and development, the plastics industry has gradually become more standardized, environmental awareness has increased, clean production is emphasized, and more attention has been paid to the greening of products. Accelerate the pace of product transformation and upgrading.
Overcapacity forced the transformation and upgrading of products. Zhu Wenzhao said that the issue of overcapacity of low-end products is still serious. There are many generic products in the market, and the majority of middle- and low-end products account for the vast majority, while high-tech, high-value-added products are relatively Less. The price war in competition has reduced the profit space, and also caused low-quality, low-quality products to disrupt the market order. Some companies in the industry actively promote automated transformation to improve the level of product technology and quality. Such as the modified plastic industry from Pursue the expansion of production scale to refinement, and strive for strength; from similarities, the products of Dalu to directional processing and personalized production. BOPET, BOPP, cast film and other industries actively make substitutions of imported products, expand new product application areas, increase high-end products The amount of application, differentiated products, personalized products and special products have achieved remarkable results and the industry has begun to recover.
Policy guidance and efforts to promote the development of related industries. 'The state has banned the entry of foreign waste, promoted the reform of solid waste import management system, and introduced new policies. Plastics recycling industry enterprises gradually transformed domestic waste plastics recycling processing or set up factories abroad. With electricity suppliers With the rapid development of the industry, the logistics and express delivery industry has produced a large amount of 'white waste'. The state requires express packaging bags to use biodegradable plastics, and a series of environmentally friendly materials that can be fully degraded under natural conditions such as PHA biodegradable plastics, etc. Usher in a good opportunity for development. ' Zhu Wenyu said.
Adhere to innovation Green development
The year 2018 is the first year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Zhu Wenzhao told reporters that China's plastics processing industry has entered a new stage of development that is more dependent on technological advancement. Global innovation patterns and industrial changes will further accelerate, and global manufacturing will enter an intelligent transformation. With the development of the plastics processing industry, the plastics processing industry is showing functional, lightweight, ecological and micro-molding development trends. In 2018 and in the future, the plastics processing industry should be guided by the “13th Five-Year Plan” development plan of the plastics processing industry.
