China's polyester production totaled 6.589 million tons in January-February 2018, a year-on-year growth of 6.7%. It is expected that China's polyester production in the first quarter of 2018 will total 10.267 million tons, an increase of 8.3% year-on-year. The increase in polyester production is mainly due to the production capacity base. Expansion and restoration of old devices.
New production capacity: 1.050 million tons
In the first quarter, a total of four polyester units were put into operation, and the ancillary products were mainly concentrated in the field of polyester filament yarns, involving a total capacity of 1,050,000 tons. Among them, a 300,000-ton polyester plant of Jiaxing Petrochemical was put into operation on February 23, mainly supporting half production. Guangdang FDY products; Hengbang Phase III set a 200,000-ton, three-polyester polyester device to drive on March 5, mainly supporting the production of extinction, bright light and cationic products; Xinfengming Zhongshi set of 300,000 tons polyester device March 10 It is put into production on a daily basis, mainly supporting the production of half-light FDY products, and the 25,000-ton polyester plant of Haixin Fibers Phase 2 is put into production in mid-March, mainly supporting the production of half-light POY products.
Old device: 65,000 tons
In the first quarter, a total of three polyester plants were resumed operation, with a total capacity of 650 thousand tons. Among them, a 200,000-ton polyester plant of Fujian Xindonghua resumed operation at the beginning of February, mainly producing sliced and filaments; Jiangyin Saisheng The 200,000-ton polyester plant resumed operation on February 21, mainly supporting the production of large-area light chips, and a set of 250,000-ton polyester plant was resumed near March 15.
In the second quarter, China's polyester production will continue to expand, which is expected to increase by about 15% from the same period of last year. There are two main reasons for making this judgment: First, polyester production gradually enters a seasonal peak. Second, the new increase Continue to market.
According to the current forecast, China’s polyester production capacity in the second quarter will total 2.5 million tons. Specific projects include: For polyester staple fiber, Huaxi Village’s 100,000-ton polyester plant is scheduled to be put into production in April.
