The development trend of China's plastic products industry:
(1) the market will continue to grow, and the plastics industry will continue to grow.
Although the plastic product output in 2012 and 2013 showed a low growth trend for two consecutive years, which is the low point for more than a decade. However, the growth of apparent consumption of synthetic resin did not slow down growth, but maintained a 8% growth level. With the gradual transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, the proportion of high-grade products is gradually increasing, and the basic supporting services function is constantly improving. Although the output growth of plastic products has slowed down, its value space is still large. The output value can maintain a high growth rate, and high-end applications can be maintained under the condition of steady growth in basic application fields to meet the general needs of society. With the gradual strengthening of the field, it can be seen that the plastic processing industry is still in the rising stage of development, and the transformation and upgrading are steadily advancing. The development trend of "replacing steel with plastic" and "replacing wood with plastic" has provided broad market space for the development of plastic industry. As an index to measure the development level of a country's plastics industry, the ratio of plastics to steel in China is only 30:0, which is less than the average 50:50 in the world, and much less than the 63:37 in developed countries such as Germany and 70:30 in the United States. With the technological progress and consumption upgrading of modified plastics in China, the growth rate of plastic products in China is expected to be more than 10%.
(two) regional economic advantages to guide the development of industrial clusters.
Take Guangdong Province as an example. The overall transformation of Guangdong's industrial structure into advanced and moderately heavy-duty industries has promoted the optimization of the plastic industry and product structure in the province. A number of large-scale enterprises have been formed, including the largest plastic packaging material enterprise in China, the largest high-performance modified plastic enterprise in China, and the largest plastic beverage bottle and beer bottle enterprise in Asia. Super large plastic enterprise. Gaoming District of Foshan City was awarded the title of "China Synthetic Leather Industry Base", Wuchuan City of Zhanjiang City was awarded the title of "China Plastic Shoe Township". Shishan Town of Nanhai District of Foshan City is declaring "China Plastic Hollow Container Packaging Industry Base". These enterprises have formed high value-added industrial chains in supporting industries such as electronic information, household appliances, automobiles, industrial packaging, high-grade daily plastics, high-grade leather, furniture and so on. The participation degree of social and economic development of the plastics industry has increased significantly, and the effect of industrial cluster development is remarkable.
(three) technological progress drives the development of high value-added plastics industry.
With the improvement of living standards, people began to pursue more excellent product performance, requiring household appliances and other products to be more beautiful, safe and durable, thus putting forward higher requirements for the upstream plastic industry, requiring better processing performance, mechanical properties, durability and safety. In recent years, the development of modified plastics is a good example. Modified plastics refer to the special properties of general plastics, such as flame retardant, high impact resistance and so on, after deep processing. Modified plastics are not a specific industry like plastic building materials, plastic packaging, etc. Modified plastics can be used to enhance their performance wherever they are used. Because there are many modification methods for a kind of plastics, different functional materials can be obtained, which greatly improves the added value of the products, but the cost of raw materials, equipment and other aspects has not been significantly increased. It relies entirely on innovative technology to support the development of products. Modified plastics not only have the advantages of traditional plastics, such as low density, corrosion resistance, but also have good physical and mechanical properties, such as high strength, high toughness, high impact resistance, wear and shock resistance. In addition, the improvement of comprehensive properties of plastics provides a basis for its wide application in the downstream areas.
