Market space continues to expand
In 2017, the stable foundation of China’s foreign trade stability was continuously consolidated, and the potential for development was gradually being released, which promoted the sustained growth of China’s plastic products industry. The accumulated export value of China’s plastic products industry was US$62.729 billion, an increase of 8.62% year-on-year, accounting for light industry. 10.46% of the industry's exports; import value was 18.576 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.22% compared with the same period of last year, accounting for 11.42% of the import value of the light industry; the total value of imports and exports was 81.305 billion US dollars, and the trade surplus was 44.153 billion US dollars. With the favorable policy, the dominant enterprises Have 'going out', in foreign countries, especially the 'Belt and Road' state set up factories, expand new markets, such as Blonde Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Liansu Technology Co., Ltd. and other companies have set up factories in India and other countries.
Enterprise integration accelerates
With the further promotion of environmental protection improvement, and the impact of rising raw material prices and labor costs, some small and micro enterprises that cannot occupy the market due to product innovation and quality improvement are once again faced with the predicament of being “shuffled out”, while large and medium-sized enterprises In the predicament, we have the courage to innovate, the development momentum is good, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, the industry transformation, the enterprise integration speeds up.
Resolve difficulties and achieve breakthroughs
In 2017, facing the profound changes in innovation and development of the global plastics industry, the plastics processing industry, while achieving remarkable results, also encountered many major difficulties and severe challenges: Sharply increased raw material prices, the most stringent environmental remediation, prohibition orders, etc. Zhu Wenxuan said that the plastics industry in the country is advancing with difficulties, making positive progress, further intensifying independent innovation, and accelerating industrial upgrading to cope with development pressures, and realize development and breakthroughs in difficulties and challenges.
'The rising cost has led companies to pay more attention to technological progress and technological innovation.' Zhu Wenyu said: “In response to the improvement of domestic environmental protection and the promotion of supply-side reforms, we eliminated a large number of low-end production capacity, and due to the reduction of waste supply due to the prohibition of entry of foreign waste, coupled with the increase in transportation prices, the prices of plastic raw materials generally rose sharply in 2017. , And product prices have not risen accordingly. This has brought severe challenges to the company's production. Faced with this pressure, enterprises are paying more attention to technological advancement and technological innovation, and continuously improve their own level of technological development: On the one hand, through scientific and technological progress, technological innovation and other means, Actively develop new products, increase product added value, and improve profitability; on the other hand, strengthen technological transformation, improve automation, increase production efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce management costs through internal management, reduce internal operating costs, and offset price fluctuations of raw materials. Loss. '
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, and production is restricted and rectified. For better survival and development, the plastic products industry is gradually becoming standardized, environmental awareness is enhanced, and attention is paid to cleaner production, and more attention is paid to the greening of products. Accelerate the pace of product transformation and upgrading.
Overcapacity forces product transformation and upgrading
Zhu Wenzhao said that the issue of overcapacity in low-end products is still serious. There are many similar generic products in the market. The middle and low-end products account for the vast majority, while high-tech, high-value-added products are relatively few. Price competition in competition , Compressed profit margins, but also caused low-quality, low-quality products to disrupt the market order. Some companies in the industry actively promote automated transformation, improve product technology and quality levels. If the modified plastic industry from the pursuit of expanding production scale to refine, Seeking for strength; from doing similarities, Dalu goods products turn to directional processing and personalized production.
BOPET, BOPP, cast film and other industries have actively replaced imported products, expanded new product application areas, increased the use of high-end products, made differentiated products, personalized products and special products, and achieved remarkable results. The industry began 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. Plastic recycling industry companies gradually transformed domestic waste plastics recycling processing or set up factories abroad. 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.
