Engineering plastics manufacturers are seriously short of supply of engineering plastics raw materials in China and rely on imports

China's consumption of engineering plastic raw materials is in a period of rapid growth, but the domestic self-sufficiency rate is less than 20%, and the annual import volume has accounted for more than 30% of the total world trade. It is understood that due to the irreplaceable application in many fields, the consumption of engineering plastics in China is growing rapidly. In recent years, the rapid development of electronics, communications, automobiles, building materials, office supplies, aerospace and other fields has become a direct driving force for the rapid growth of China's engineering plastics consumption, but the supply of engineering plastics in China is not satisfactory.

According to customs statistics, from 2001 to 2005, the import volume of China's five major general engineering plastics increased by 22.4% annually, and in 2005, the import volume reached 1.221 million tons. Yang Weicai pointed out that the development of China's engineering plastics industry started late, with a gap of 10 to 20 years compared with that of foreign countries. In addition, the production base of raw resin is weak, resulting in a serious shortage of supply, and a large number of imports have to be made from foreign countries every year. Since 1997, China has become the world's largest importer of zui engineering plastics.

The main reasons are that domestic scientific research investment is insufficient and the ability of independent innovation is weak. Although some varieties have their own technologies in China, the problems of engineering and industrialization of scientific research achievements have not been fundamentally solved, which makes the existing resin production plants small in scale, backward in technology, few in brands, and low in product grade, making them uncompetitive. The huge market demand has attracted large international multinationals such as Bayer, Diren, Baoli, Asahi Huacheng and DuPont to enter China in recent years, and have successively built production facilities such as PC, pom and pa.

Yang Weicai believes that the engineering plastics industry is a technology intensive industry, which integrates many advanced technologies such as polymerization technology, modified alloying technology, engineering design amplification technology, processing and application technology, and embodies a country's technological development level in the field of new materials. If domestic large and medium-sized enterprises want to win a place in the highly competitive engineering plastics market, they must adhere to a high starting point, high quality, and high level of development, Pay attention to the extension of the industrial chain, take the integrated route of raw material development, resin synthesis and modification, increase investment, and target the high and middle end markets.

China is a big country in plastic machinery and mold processing. The key to accelerate the development of plastic products is to improve the manufacturing level of plastic machinery and mold and adopt advanced processing methods. We should develop new products with independent intellectual property rights, strengthen the digestion, absorption and innovation of imported advanced equipment, and improve the overall level of plastic machinery and complete sets of equipment.

It is understood that the consumption of engineering plastics in China is currently in a period of rapid growth, but the domestic self-sufficiency rate is less than 20%, and the annual import volume has accounted for more than 30% of the total world trade. It is estimated that the average annual growth rate of China's engineering plastics consumption during the "Eleventh Five Year Plan" period will remain 18%, and the domestic supply will still be seriously insufficient.

Due to its irreplaceable application in many fields, the consumption of engineering plastics in China has increased rapidly. In recent years, the rapid development of electronics, communications, automobiles, building materials, office supplies, aerospace and other fields has become a direct driving force for the rapid growth of China's engineering plastics consumption, but the supply of engineering plastics in China is not satisfactory. According to customs statistics, the import volume of China's five major general engineering plastics increased by 22.4% annually from 2001 to 2005, and reached 1.221 million tons in 2005.

The development of China's engineering plastics raw material industry started late, with a gap of 10 to 20 years compared with that of foreign countries. In addition, the production base of raw resin is weak, resulting in a serious shortage of supply. Every year, China has to import a large number of engineering plastics from foreign countries. Since 1997, China has become the world's largest exporter of engineering plastics.
