Regional Development of Key Provinces
The Shanghai area is China's economic capital, and it is the leading leader in the coordinated development of the Yangtze River Delta. However, due to the profound adjustment of Shanghai's industrial structure in recent years, the scale of its plastic products industry has further shrunk. The current output is only 2% of the country's total. Around Shanghai. With the adjustment of Shanghai's manufacturing product structure and the deepening of industrial gradient transfer, the focus of Shanghai's plastics industry has gradually shifted to new high-tech plastic materials, such as automotive, electronics, and other high-end areas with high added value. The engineering plastics, modified plastics, but the production of low-grade plastic products with a wide range of products is decreasing year by year.
Studying the East China and even China's plastics industry, Zhejiang Province is quite worth mentioning. Here is China's largest plastic product province. Since 2012, the province's plastic product output has won the national crown for six consecutive years, exceeding 1,000 for four consecutive years. Ten thousand tons. Zhejiang's profile, artificial leather, synthetic leather, plastic products for construction, plastic products for daily use, plastic woven bags, BOPS sheets and other products have a large share in the country, and Zhejiang Province also has a strong Plastic machinery and mold design, manufacturing capabilities, synthetic resins are also at the forefront of the country, playing a pivotal role in the development of China's plastics industry.
The advantages of featured industrial clusters stand out
With the continuous development of the plastics industry in East China, the clustered development of the plastics industry has become a trend. This has also led to the emergence of numerous large and distinctive industrial clusters. This is the secret weapon for the rapid, steady and healthy growth of the East China plastics economy.
Taizhou has made plastics one of its pillar industries and has initially formed a complete industrial chain of plastic products, machinery, and molds. Taizhou is known as the 'kingdom of China's plastic products', and Huangyan District under Taizhou is known as 'China Plastics'. Daily necessities'. The city's annual output of plastic products and accessories reaches more than 4 million tons. It is the largest production base and distribution center for plastic products in China. There are more than 10,000 plastic products companies and more than 200,000 employees. Disposable syringes , One-time infusion sets, daily-use plastic products and other market share ranked first in the country; electric bicycle main plastic accessories accounted for more than 80% of the domestic market share. At present, Taizhou plastics industry has created a daily production base for plastic products in the city , Medical plastic packaging production base, shoe production base, sun visor production base, PVB automotive intermediate film companies and other industrial clusters.
Shandong is a large agricultural province in China. Agricultural film demand and post-processing volume are increasing year by year. It is the largest area for agricultural film production in China. Wenzhou City, which is known as the “Capital of Chinese Synthetic Leather”, is the largest synthetic leather production base in the country and even in the world. A light industrial cluster with an annual output value of RMB 130 billion has been formed with synthetic leather as the link. It ranks first in the country in terms of total manufacturing volume, industry scale, equipment level, and resource allocation.
Tongcheng, Anhui Province, has developed into a well-known plastic packaging bag production base and one of the three largest printing and packaging bases in the country. There are thousands of plastic bag manufacturing companies in the country. Shanghai is one of the important bases for plastic trays and turnover containers, and the area has accumulated waves. Jia industry and other major key leading enterprises. Zhangjiagang hollow molding machine and the output of the kneader accounted for about 45% of the country's output. Zhejiang Zhoushan Jintang known as 'China Plastic Screw City', is the largest domestic plastic screw The manufacturing base has a domestic market share of more than 70%. There are more than 670 screw production and supporting companies, and the annual production value is about RMB 4.5 billion. Ningbo has become China's largest injection molding machine production base with annual production accounting for more than half of total domestic output. With a global output of 1/3, Haitian Company ranks the top of the industry pyramid in China and even in the world.
Analysis of industry situation
In 2017, the plastics industry in East China faced many major difficulties and severe challenges along with its progress. Affected by multiple factors such as rising oil and coal prices, rising logistics costs, rising labor costs, devaluation of the renminbi, plastic raw material prices in the past two years Rising sharply, the production costs of the downstream plastics production enterprises are difficult to control and bring great operational difficulties. Faced with this pressure, the plastics industry enterprises in six provinces and one city in East China are more concerned with technological advancement and technological innovation, and are constantly upgrading their technological development levels.
The impact of domestic environmental protection policies on the development of enterprises is increasing, especially in the Yangtze River Delta region. With the further advancement of environmental protection improvement and the impact of rising prices of raw materials and increased labor costs, some cannot occupy the market with product innovation and functional enhancement. Once again, small and micro enterprises faced the predicament of being shuffled out of the market. Large and medium-sized enterprises were brave about innovating in a difficult situation. Their development momentum was good. The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, the transformation of the industry and the consolidation of enterprises. The traditional plastics industry in the region has gradually shifted to the central and western regions and Southeast Asia. Under the promotion of the national strategic policy, some dominant companies have gone out and opened factories in foreign countries, especially the countries along the 'Belt and Road', to expand new markets.
In 2018 and some time in the future, the three bottlenecks in the development of raw materials, advanced molding technology and processes, and equipment will be continuously broken through. Multifunctional, high-performance materials and additives will be developed with emphasis on the functionalization of materials, greening, and environmental friendliness. Green, energy-saving, high-efficiency development and application of new processing technology and technology will accelerate. East China's plastic products industry will focus on automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics and other downstream hot applications, toward the development of high value-added products. In the important region of China's plastics industry, during the national “13th Five-Year Plan” development plan, the plastics industry in East China will continue to lead China's plastics manufacturing, product development and new market trends.
