During the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, China's chemical fiber industry must change from quantitative to technological efficiency. This requires rational investment and technological revolution to build innovative industrial clusters.
The spring breeze is on the south bank of the green river. In China's traditional textile industry - Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are looking forward to the new spring of the chemical fiber industry.
In the early morning of April, she suddenly received a call from Chen Qing, a Cixi chemical fiber manufacturer in Zhejiang Province. He said with excitement that Cixi’s chemical fiber industry had made a $20 million purchase order at the just-concluded third international chemical fiber product ordering conference, and his company had won a million-dollar bill.
Cixi is currently the largest polyester staple fiber production base in China. There are more than 400 chemical fiber enterprises, including more than 60 enterprises above designated size. In recent years, the operating mode of high starting point, large investment, and large concentration has brought Cixi's chemical fiber industry into a period of high quality and low cost, and the products have been sold well both at home and abroad.
Cixi is a microcosm of the transformation of Zhejiang chemical fiber industry. Experienced the unfavorable effects of out-of-control investment, high international oil prices, textile quotas, etc. Recently, the investment in Zhejiang chemical fiber industry became more and more rational and began to change from quantity-based to technology-efficient. Experts said that this is also the inevitable way out for the development of China's chemical fiber industry, but the process of achieving this revolutionary change may be long and difficult.
Rational investment in the chemical fiber industry must be transformed. The primary problem is that the macro investment environment must be fundamentally improved, and blind investment and low-level redundant construction must be avoided.
In March, the Third Council of the Fourth Session of China Chemical Fiber Association was held in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province. Zheng Zhiyi, chairman of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said, "Looking forward to 2007, China's chemical fiber industry will enter the period of a steady increase in the ninth cycle." However, maintaining a reasonable investment growth is a major prerequisite.
Zheng Zhiyi said that excessive investment growth and excessive pressure on the rebound of fixed assets will continue to be the biggest and most direct adverse factors affecting the operation of the chemical fiber industry this year. If investment growth cannot be effectively curbed, unfavorable factors will likely emerge in the fourth quarter of this year.
Industry insiders believe that the chemical fiber industry must control the rapid rebound in fixed asset investment growth. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the industry this year and later. It will undermine the hard-to-find market balance of the hard-won market demand achieved in the past two years, exacerbating vicious competition in the market and affecting the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.
Chen Qing deeply understands this. He entered the chemical fiber business field for many years, and the bitter fruit of the disorderly investment kept him and his colleagues still fresh in their memory. He told reporters that 2005 was a cold winter in the chemical fiber industry, which can be described as both domestic and diplomatic difficulties. On the one hand, there was a serious excess of domestic production capacity, and on the other hand, international trade disputes continued. Under this circumstance, Chen Qing’s factory became extremely difficult and had to stop work regularly, the operating rate was less than 60%, and the book deficit was high.
The domestic chemical fiber industry is also a loss and it has entered an emergency adjustment period. Because it is not profitable, investors are uninterested in the chemical fiber market. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2004, the growth rate of chemical fiber investment was as high as 44.1%; in 2005, it dropped sharply to 2%; in January-May 2006, it was only 3.2%. The investment temperature is obviously cooled.
September 2006 was a watershed. At that time, the international oil price suddenly fell from a high level, the price of chemical fiber raw materials PTA fell, and the chemical fiber market showed signs of turning. The listed companies such as G Swan, G-Fiber, Yizheng Chemical Fiber, and G Hua Lian all had different increases in their main business income and profits.
As a result, chemical fiber investment increased and began to rebound quickly. According to statistics, the obvious rebound from January to October 2006 rose to 23%, from January to November was as high as 33.8%, from January to December fell sharply 10.9 percentage points, but still as high as 22.9%. In this regard, industry insiders said that more than 20% of the investment growth rate is beyond the market. At present, the production of chemical fiber is still larger than the production of textiles, that is, supply exceeds demand.
Zheng Zhiyi said that in objective analysis, the 13% growth rate of chemical fiber production in 2006 brought about a cautious and prosperous recovery of the industry, taking into account the proportion of production capacity that needs to be renewed and reformed as a percentage of total production capacity, taking into account the actual needs of technological progress and product upgrading investment. It is reasonable for investment growth to be between 10% and 12%.
Experts of the technological revolution indicated that China's chemical fiber industry has basically completed its initial accumulation by 2005 and can no longer continue to pursue total growth. It must move toward comprehensive technological progress and structural upgrading. This is inevitable from quantitative change to qualitative change. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission has lost no time in issuing the "Eleventh Five-Year Development Guidance Opinions" for "chemical fiber industry", which clearly states the technical direction for the development of high-tech fibers, biomass fibers and differentiated fibers.
Speaking of technological innovation, the old company Yizheng Chemical Fiber is a well-deserved leader. Especially in terms of differentiation, it is an exemplary example. As the name implies, differentiated fibers are chemical fibers that have been innovative or have certain properties to conventional fibers. Recently, the differential rate of Yizheng chemical fiber staple fiber products has exceeded the threshold of 72%, the added value has been greatly increased, and the market competitiveness has been significantly enhanced.
According to Xiao Weijun, general manager of Yizheng Chemical Fibers, in order to improve the research and development capabilities of differentiated fibers, the company closely focused on low-cost and high value-added development strategies, established and improved new product research and development mechanisms, and continuously improved differential product efficiency assessment awards. Patent, proprietary technology and application of incentives for scientific and technological achievements have been used to effectively mobilize the enthusiasm for the development and production of differentiated products.
At the same time, functionalized chemical fiber products are also a new area for Yizheng Chemical Fiber to develop, such as anti-bacterial, anti-ultraviolet, moisture wicking and automotive decorative fabrics with special functions and special functions. In fact, this is the key point for Yizheng Chemical Fiber to increase profitability.
It is understood that the development of Yizheng Chemical Fiber's 56 dtex/144-hole porous ultra-fine denier yarn as the next processing down jackets and ski wear and other high-end foreign trade apparel fabrics, not only to fill the domestic technology gap, but also to replace the import. Previously, ultra fine denier high-end varieties of single-filament denier requirements of less than 0.3 dtex, the international community, only a few countries such as Japan, South Korea can produce, forming a technical monopoly. After continuous efforts, Yizheng Chemical Fiber finally crossed this technical threshold.
In addition, Yizheng Chemical Fiber is investing in and developing bio-energy fibers made from corn and other raw materials. According to industry analysts, biomass fiber is not only a choice in the era of high oil prices, but more importantly, it will trigger a revolution in chemical fiber technology and improve people's quality of life.
The reporter once used a blanket made by Sonora Polymers of DuPont, and felt comfortable. Sonora Polymer is the “new darling†in the history of DuPont's invention. It is DuPont’s latest advanced polymer polymer. It is said that it can overcome various shortcomings of various existing synthetic fibers and make the garments soft and UV-resistant. Chlorine, anti-pollution and anti-hot effects.
Last year, DuPont cooperated with Zhangjiagang Meijingrong Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. to start investing in the production of bio-Sonora polymer products in China, marking the first time that the product has entered commercial production in Asia and will be available in 2007. Therefore, domestic chemical fiber companies should also accelerate their pace and seize market opportunities in high-tech fiber, biomass fiber and other fields. However, due to the high cost of R&D, there are few companies currently involved in this field.
The reason why industrial clusters cannot enter the research and development of high-end fields is, after all, the problem of industrial strength. At present, China's chemical fiber enterprises are mainly based on private enterprises, and their development levels are uneven. The shortage of talents and research and development has become the two major bottlenecks that restrict the development of the chemical fiber industry. According to the reporter’s understanding, many private enterprises do not have their own R&D teams at all, and production is blindly following the trend, which is difficult to support the overall situation of technological breakthrough.
China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec Corp. are gradually withdrawing from the meager chemical fiber market, and will focus their investment on capital and technology-intensive upstream industries such as PTA and PX. Therefore, there is no large industrial group in China to promote and implement the high-end process of the chemical fiber industry.
According to the “Eleventh Five-Year Development Guidance Opinions of Chemical Fiber Industryâ€, China will initially build a world chemical fiber production and R&D base at the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, so that the main conventional products will have the competitiveness of domestic and foreign markets, and some important high-tech fiber varieties. Achievement of industrialization. How to achieve this goal? Experts said that to improve the competitiveness of the chemical fiber industry, we must rely on the model of innovative industrial clusters.
It is understood that the distinctive features of industrial clusters are: the spatial concentration of enterprises and the concentration of departments; there are social and cultural links between the local economic entities and the common behavioral norms of the industry; goods, services, information and personnel are based on the mutual dependence of trade and non-trade; There are public or private institutions that support many businesses.
In contrast, at present, China's chemical fiber enterprises are still in the initial stage of industrial clusters, and the cluster level is relatively low, and their development is not sufficient. The low-cost competition is the main reason, and the ability to innovate is obviously insufficient; mainly in key industries, most of them lack upstream and downstream Support; information, technology, logistics and other services are not enough. It can be said that the development of the chemical fiber industry is still largely driven by the textile industry.
In this regard, experts suggest that chemical fiber companies should embark on the road of cooperation, stop price wars, seek common order, cooperation, seek a win-win rational economic model, and strive to create a healthy development environment. At the same time, they jointly developed upstream raw material industries and actively explored methods such as the use of futures markets to stabilize the prices of chemical fiber raw materials and reduce business risks. In addition, efforts should be made to increase the market development of the downstream industries, strengthen technological upgrading and upgrading, increase the research and development of new products, improve the ability of technological innovation, and drive the overall upgrading of industrial clusters.
Wonderful words China will initially establish a world chemical fiber production and research and development base at the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, so that the major conventional varieties will have the ability to compete in domestic and foreign markets, and some important high-tech fiber varieties will achieve industrialized results.
