Domestic market demand for engineering plastics grows faster

According to relevant data, during the period of 2004-2009, the compound annual average growth rate of China's general engineering plastics consumption was about 10%. It is estimated that from 2009 to 2015, the compound annual average growth rate of China's general engineering plastics will be 5.8%; the compound annual growth rate of special engineering plastics is expected to be 17.3%.

Chang Yingzhi, a research fellow in the chemical industry of China Investment Advisors, pointed out that the engineering plastics have excellent performance and are mainly used in electronic information, transportation, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, and national defense construction in China. Although the domestic and international demand market has been sluggish due to the financial crisis in recent years, due to the rapid development of transportation and electronic information in China, the demand for domestic engineering plastics is still growing at a rapid rate.

According to relevant statistics, in 2000, the consumption of engineering plastics in China was less than 400,000 tons; by 2007, the consumption of engineering plastics in China had reached 1.84 million tons. In 2008 and 2009, despite the financial crisis, the consumption of engineering plastics in China also reached 2.06 million tons and 2.21 million tons respectively. It is expected that by 2013, the demand for engineering plastics in China will reach 3 million tons.

Chang Yuzhi pointed out that in the demand market of China's engineering plastics, due to the rapid development of the automobile and construction industries, the demand for PC resins in engineering plastics products has grown fastest, and the number of consumption has also been the largest, accounting for the total consumption of all engineering plastics. About half. Nylon, polyoxymethylene, PBT and other products accounted for more than one-tenth of the total consumption of all engineering plastics, due to the high demand for domestic high-speed railways, automobiles, and electronic appliances.

Zhang Yanlin, research director of China Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. pointed out that engineering plastics belong to new chemical materials and have unique advantages in mechanical properties, durability, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, etc. It has become electronic information, transportation, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing. One of the indispensable basic materials for the defense industry and other industries. In the future, with the rapid development of China's auto, electronics, and construction industries, the market prospects for engineering plastics will be very broad.

According to the “2010-2015 China New Materials Industry Investment Analysis and Forecast Report” published by China Investment Advisor, engineering plastics can be generally divided into general engineering plastics and special engineering plastics. Among them, general-purpose engineering plastics mainly include polyamides, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyoxymethylenes, and polyphenylene ethers. Specialty engineering plastics mainly include polyphenylene ether, polyimides, polyaryletherketones, and liquid crystal polymers. Polysulfone, polyarylate and other products.
