Dongguan hot weather continues, I believe that in this hot weather, many plastic traders are also very angry. Plastic commerce in the town of the city has a certain market base.
Recently, under the influence of environmental protection pressure and other factors, plastic materials have entered the rising channel again. The reporter recently learned that, in two months, the maximum increase in the price of plastic raw materials exceeded 20%.
Dongguan has a large number of traders of plastic raw materials, and raw materials have soared. The impact on these traders can be imagined. At the same time, the downstream companies are also not spared. In this context, many companies have to find solutions. Of the policy.
The maximum increase of more than 20%
Before talking to reporters, Peng Hua, general manager of Guangdong Dongda Technology Co., Ltd. just received a call. A raw material supplier notified her by telephone that the price of plastic raw materials would be raised again.
At the end of 2017, there was a slight decline in the price of raw materials, but since the beginning of 2018, the prices of raw materials have risen in an all-round way, and the plastics industry has been rising.
Since the beginning of this year, Peng Hua has felt that prices of plastic raw materials have been rising across the board. Some plastic raw materials have risen by more than 20% in two months, which makes plastic traders like Dongda Technology suffer. Words.
Wang Yong, general manager of Dongguan Jishuo Industrial Co., Ltd. also told reporters that this year's plastic raw material prices, a big feature is that the price of a single price increase, 'the last price increase, the increase is about 10% , This has caught many companies and traders unprepared.
Under the environmental protection supervision activities at home and abroad, the overall operating rate of the recycled plastics industry has continued to be low in recent years. The waste plastics of life type have been banned at the end of 2017, and industrial sources will also be completely banned by the end of 2018. The entire imported waste plastics industry is about to become history.
Wang Yong introduced that this year, the comprehensive start-up of recycled plastics is seriously inadequate, and the corresponding supply has also been under tight conditions for a long time, which has led to the price of domestic recycled plastics under the downward pressure of new materials, and the price has remained at a high level.
Influence Impact Plastic Industry Chain
The price of plastic raw materials has risen. First of all, plastic raw material traders have been affected. Peng Hua told reporters that many plastic raw material traders are now facing financial pressure, which also makes them afraid to sell large quantities of goods.
For many small and medium-sized plastic raw material traders, upstream raw material suppliers have increased their prices, and they have also been forced to transmit price pressures downstream. This has also affected the plastics industry chain.
Li Zhicheng, head of Dongguan Zhongyi New Material Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters: 'In the past, we usually settled for 90 days. Now it is usually monthly, sometimes we need cash. ' Under such circumstances, many companies have to 3. Adopt small-batch purchase mode to ease financial pressure.
In addition, Li Zhicheng also noted that some downstream companies began seeking foreign suppliers under cost pressure, and some orders were taken away by suppliers in Southeast Asia and other foreign regions.
However, Peng Hua also said that in the face of some of the downstream major customers, plastic raw material traders often lack the bargaining power. Not long ago, Peng Hua also received a notice from a large customer demanding a price reduction of 5%. 'We In the middle, the profit is even smaller. ' Peng Hua said.
Coping with Accelerating Research and Development of High Value-Added Products
In this round of price hikes in plastic raw materials, some companies were affected by the relatively small impact due to the advance layout.
Jishuo Industrial’s business includes both plastic raw materials and semi-finished products. As early as a few years ago, Wang Yong was aware of the impact of price fluctuations on plastic raw material traders, and he resolutely decided to intensify research and development of high value-added products.
Wang Yong explained to reporters that in recent years, Kishoo Industries has been pursuing technological innovation as a driving force, deeply cultivating segments of polymer materials, and continuously developing high-performance products. Now its products have been involved in new energy and aerospace fields.
Because of the early layout in previous years, Kishuo Industrial had a strong bargaining power when plastic raw materials increased sharply, which could transfer the cost pressure to downstream manufacturers.
According to Xiao Lin, Chairman of Guangdong Hadder Toys Co., Ltd., the increase in raw materials is large, and the price increase cycle is getting shorter and shorter. This puts pressure on many manufacturing companies.
The Harbin generation appeared to be calm and calm in the face of rising prices for raw materials. Xiao Lin introduced that as a veteran toy company, the Harbin generation had already upgraded from an initial OEM OEM to a new generation of high-tech brands with independent brands. Intelligent toy companies. At the time when raw material prices are rising, companies with higher value-added products such as Hardy show their advantages.
