Innovation and intelligence are the main directions for future
'In 2017, fixed-asset investment in the chemical fiber industry increased by 19.2% year-on-year, which significantly rebounded from 2016 and reversed the downward trend since 2011. It is expected that the national chemical fiber output will maintain an average annual growth rate of 3.3% during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.' At the 2018 China Chemical Fiber Science and Technology Conference held in Pingdingshan, Henan Province on June 22nd, Duan Xiaoping, vice president of the China Textile Industry Federation and president of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, announced the figures.
According to the meeting, in 2017, the world's major fiber production was 9371 million tons, which was a year-on-year increase of 6%. Among them, chemical fiber output was 66.94 million tons, an increase of 4%. In 2017, China’s chemical fiber output was 49.20 million tons, accounting for 73.5% of the world’s total chemical fiber production. Among them, more than 90% are petroleum-based synthetic fibers. According to the United Nations' forecast, the global fiber processing volume will reach 253 million tons by 2050. Based on this calculation, the average annual growth rate of global fiber processing volume is 2.89%. Duan Xiaoping said. Thanks to the recovery of the global economy and the steady growth of China’s economy, the profitability of the domestic chemical fiber industry has continued to increase since entering the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”. Specifically, mainly due to the rise in international oil prices, the cost-driven increase in chemical fiber prices, and due to good demand, prices The conduction was smooth, and the quality and efficiency of the chemical fiber industry improved significantly. In addition, under the background of the structural reforms on the supply side, the chemical fiber industry accelerated the elimination of backwardness and mergers and reorganizations. With a limited increase in total scale, the industrial concentration was further improved. , Advantageous enterprises and advanced production capacity, production can grow steadily.
The significant increase in efficiency has also promoted investment rebound. Smart manufacturing, green manufacturing and new fiber materials have become the new darling of investment in recent years. In particular, the average annual growth rate of investment in the polyester and man-made fiber industries is as high as 54.49% and 27.79% respectively. According to statistics, from January to April in 2018, the investment in the textile industry increased by only 2.1% year-on-year, but the investment in the chemical fiber industry increased by 25%. At the same time that positive investment strongly promoted industrial transformation and upgrading, Duan Xiaoping also reminded the industry that it must maintain rational investment. , to prevent excessive release of new production capacity, to prevent the resumption of backward production capacity.
Regarding the development direction of the industry, Duan Xiaoping pointed out that the theme of this conference is 'Fibre New Horizons - Zhi Rong Technology, Create the Future'. This is to stimulate innovation in the chemical fiber industry and to promote the acceleration of smart manufacturing in the whole industry. In order to promote the high-quality development of the chemical fiber industry, help build a strong textile country and create a strong country. This is actually the direction for the entire industry to continue its efforts. He also pointed out in particular that military-civilian integration is expected to become a functional fiber, high-performance fiber outlet. Planning to seize opportunities.
The forum released the ranking list of China's chemical fiber industry in 2017. The rankings are divided into chemical fiber comprehensive rankings and nylon civilian filaments, nylon industrial yarns, spandex, polypropylene, vinylon and other 15 subdivided products, among which the top ten are Tong Kun. Group, Xinfengming Group, Guowang Hi-tech, Hengyi Group, Hengli Chemical Fiber, Sanfangxiang Group, Shuangtu New Material, Rongsheng Petrochemical, Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber, Jinlun High Fibre.
