In 2010, the per capita plastic consumption in China reached 46 kilograms, which more than doubled five years ago and exceeded the world average of 40 kilograms over the same period. According to industry insiders, China has become the world's largest consumer of plastics. Under strong domestic demand, the average annual growth rate of total output and total output of plastic products during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†exceeded 30%, but exports still faced challenges.
According to Fu An, president of the Guangdong Plastics Industry Association, the total output and total output of plastic products in China reached 58.3 million tons and 1.25 trillion yuan in 2010, respectively 2.7 and 2.4 times that of five years ago. The plastics industry has developed rapidly. Mainly due to the support of domestic demand, China's per capita plastic consumption in 2005 was 22 kg, only half of the current level.
In spite of this, compared with developed countries, there is still a gap in the per capita plastic consumption in China, which has great potential for development. According to the "Investment Analysis and Forecast Report of China Plastic Products Industry 2010-2015" released by the China Investment Advisor, the per capita plastic consumption of the developed countries in the world is currently over 120 kg, of which Belgium is the most, up to 200 kg, followed by The United States, up to 170 kilograms.
On the export side, Fu An said that during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, due to several adjustments of the country’s export tax rate and the financial crisis, China’s exports of plastic products have declined, and exports have remained basically unchanged. In 2010, exports and exports of plastic products reached And more than 7 million tons and 20 billion US dollars, in 2005 these two figures were 12.28 million tons and 16.6 billion US dollars.
According to reports, raw material prices, transportation and electricity prices have continued to rise in recent years, and cost pressures for domestic plastics production companies have increased significantly. At the same time, although China is one of the largest producers of plastic products and has many processing companies, most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. The level of technology is relatively backward. Most of the products used for export are daily necessities and handicrafts, and special high-value-added engineering plastics. Relatively few products.
In addition, factors such as the lagging of relevant domestic standards and the appreciation of the renminbi will also affect the export of China's plastic products. At the same time, it will also encounter certain international trade barriers.
It is worth mentioning that the current transformation and upgrading of enterprises, the development of energy-saving environmental protection of green low-carbon plastic industry consensus has become. Take Guangdong, which is currently the largest plastics machinery manufacturing enterprise in China, as an example. In 2010, the total output of plastic products in Guangdong Province was 13.31 million tons, and the scale was already higher than that of Japan and European developed countries. During the “11th Five-Year Plan†period, Guangdong enterprises innovated in the fields of macromolecule material processing, plastic wide-width rolling equipment, and modification of plastic raw materials, and actively transformed and upgraded in the traditional product field. In the future, they will also be involved in lighting, medical and construction. Emerging applications such as widening applications to replace metals, cement, wood, etc. to achieve energy saving.
