China's modified engineering plastics industry needs to expand high-end products
Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's modified engineering plastics industry has achieved leap-forward development with the stable and healthy development of the national economy. The economic and technical indicators have been steadily increasing over the past decade. However, due to technical constraints, the domestic modified plastic products are still dominated by low-end products, and high-end products mainly rely on imports. Jiuzhi Plastics Network has high hopes for the development of China's engineering plastics industry. It is expected that this article will be applied to enterprises in the engineering plastics industry. The home is inspired.
At present, the development of China's modified plastics industry presents the following characteristics:
The proportion of applications in manufacturing is still relatively low
Compared with foreign markets, the development of the modified plastics industry is mature. The ratio of plastics and steel in the development of Germany's economy is 63:37, the United States is 70:30, and the world average is 50:50. The Chinese modified plastics industry started. Late, the application of large-scale modified plastics has just begun. Limited by production technology, the proportion of domestically produced modified plastics in precision manufacturing is even lower. China's current plastic-plastic application ratio is only 30:70, which is far lower than the developed countries and the world average.
Considering that China is a big manufacturing country, with the continuous development of the economy and the continuous improvement of modified plastics technology, the demand for modified plastics in the future market will be enormous. Especially some special plastics, halogen-free flame retardant plastics, high temperature plastics, thermal plastics, shielding plastics, conductive plastics, etc.
Have certain regional characteristics
The regional concentration of the modified plastics industry is relatively high, but it is gradually dispersed. From the perspective of the regional distribution of total output value and sales revenue of the modified plastics industry, the production and sales of modified plastics in China are mainly concentrated in East China and South China. The total industrial output value and sales revenue of Central and Southwest China are increasing year by year. trend. The regional distribution of the modified plastics industry is determined by the concentration and geographical distribution characteristics of its downstream industries. The downstream areas of the modified plastics industry are mainly in the automotive, automotive electronics, home appliances, construction, packaging, light industry and other industries. Among them, automobiles and home appliances are the main application areas of modified plastics, accounting for more than 50% of consumption.
China's manufacturing enterprises above the scale of plastics have rapidly expanded their production capacity. In order to obtain a larger market share at a lower production cost, they are gradually expanding in a way that focuses on regional production capacity and forms a multi-point radiation market network, but with The continuous development of the economy in the central and western regions of China, the advancement of industrial transfer, and the pattern of the concentration of the modified plastics industry in East China will be gradually broken.
Domestic modified plastics industry is generally small
Compared with international chemical giants, domestic modified plastics production enterprises do not have advantages in technology, scale and industrial chain, resulting in the lack of competitiveness of domestic modified plastics production enterprises in the field of high-end professional modified plastics. Although the modified plastics produced by domestic enterprises and the modified plastics produced by international chemical giants have large gaps in performance, but through the support of national policies and the continuous improvement of R&D capabilities of enterprises, the gap is gradually narrowing, and domestic enterprises also have international chemicals. Some of the advantages that the giant can't match, such as low cost, close proximity to customers, flexible response, customized services, etc., have made the excellent domestic enterprises gradually expand their market share in the market competition.
High proportion of market share of multinational companies in China
At present, there are thousands of enterprises in China engaged in the production of modified plastics, but there are only more than 70 large-scale enterprises (capacity of more than 3,000 tons), with a total capacity of more than 2 million tons. In terms of production capacity, domestic enterprises account for about 73%, and foreign or joint ventures account for about 27%. However, from the perspective of market share, domestic enterprises have a market share of only 30%, while foreign companies have a market share of 70%. %.
The level of technology is backward, and the cost of raw materials determines the comparative advantage.
Although there are many kinds of modified plastic products, from the perspective of the composition of raw materials, they are mainly concentrated in the five general plastic resins POM, PC, PBT, PA, PPE. The price trend of the five general-purpose plastics is basically consistent with the trend of crude oil prices, indicating that the upstream enterprises have strong cost transfer ability. This industry characteristic determines that an integrated enterprise with upstream resources will gain a certain cost advantage. Domestic modified plastics enterprises have not yet developed into the stage of integration of front and rear ends, and have been limited in the control of raw material costs.
The market presents a structural excess
　　
Domestic modified plastics enterprises started late, the technology level is backward, and the production capacity is concentrated in the general-purpose large-product field. The high-end field has certain technical barriers and is difficult to enter, resulting in a certain surplus in the low-end industry, while the high-end field Need to import from abroad, there is a so-called structural excess.
The key to competition lies in the formulation of modified technology
At present, the mainstream modified production technology is a physical modification technology based on filling, blending and strengthening. Once the modified formula for filling, blending and strengthening is determined, the specific operation requirements of the downstream production equipment are not high. This technical characteristic determines that the key process of modified plastics production lies in the design of the modified formula. From the current situation, the original formula of the general-purpose large variety of modified plastics is basically in the open state of the market, while the high-performance professional type is changed. The formulation of plastics is in the hands of leading companies in all segments.
Heavy asset operation
Compared with other industries, the modified plastics industry has the characteristics of large investment in fixed assets. The investment in equipment has the characteristics of large investment and slow effect. Generally, the construction period of a standard modified plastic production line takes about half a year. The investment amount of equipment is huge. If it is necessary to increase production, maintain stable quality and improve product precision, it needs to adopt Imported large-scale equipment abroad, equipment investment price is not cheap! The long payback period requires more support and subsidies from the government.
Automobiles and home appliances robots are important engines for the development of the industry.
At present, the application of modified plastics in China's home appliances and automobiles accounts for more than 50%. Therefore, the development of home appliances and automotive industry will have a greater impact on the market demand for modified plastics, but with the development of new energy automotive industry in recent years. With the continuous improvement of domestic modified plastics technology and the gradual widening of the application range, the influence of the development of home appliances and automobile industry on the modified plastics industry will gradually decrease. The development of new industries is a hot spot for major modified plastics companies.
In short, our modified plastics industry should increase capital investment and integrate the strengths of institutions of higher learning, enterprises, capital, etc., especially in the field of high-end formula products, special plastics, and openly learn from Japanese and European and American companies. The mode of operation to solve the above pain points is a very promising industry.
