In 2017, the plastics industry in east China is facing many major difficulties and severe challenges while developing and improving.From oil and coal prices, logistics freight rise, rising labor costs, depreciation and other multiple factors, nearly two years of plastic raw materials prices rose sharply, the downstream related plastic production enterprise production cost control difficult, bring a lot of difficulties.In the face of this pressure, the plastic industry enterprises in six provinces and one city in eastern China pay more attention to technological progress and technological innovation and constantly improve their own scientific and technological development level.
Domestic environmental policy impact on enterprise development is more and more big, especially the Yangtze river delta region, with the deepening of environmental regulation, and raw materials prices and labor costs increase, some cannot ascend in product innovation, function and occupy the market of small micro enterprises face again shuffle out of trouble, and innovation in large and medium-sized enterprises in trouble, a good momentum of development, presents the strong stronger and the weak weaker situation, speed up the industry transition, enterprise integration.Currently in east China traditional plastic industries has a tendency to gradually shift to the Midwest and southeast Asia, and in the national strategic policies, some advantages of companies going out, especially abroad countries along the "area" all the way to open factories, developing new market.
In 2018 and for some time to come, the three development bottlenecks of raw materials, advanced forming technology, technology and equipment will be continuously broken.Multifunctional and high performance materials and additives have been developed to promote functional, green and environmentally friendly materials.The development and application of green, energy-saving and efficient new processing and forming technology and technology will be accelerated.The plastics industry in east China will focus on the downstream hot application fields such as automobiles, medical devices and consumer electronics products, and develop towards high value-added products.As important areas of the plastics industry in China, during the national "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in" development planning, in east China plastics industry will continue to lead the Chinese plastic manufacturing, product development and market consumption trend.
