Together with iron and steel, wood, and cement, plastics together constitute the four basic materials of modern industry and play an important role in the development of the national economy. Plastics are the most productive and widely used materials in the world. The annual output accounts for more than 70% of all polymer materials. The rapid development of plastics brings greater convenience to people's lives. However, the plasticizer incident that has caused so much trouble now has caused the public to question the plastic additives. Can the plastic market continue to develop steadily? At present, what exactly is the supply and demand situation in the plastics market? HC Plastics Network will take you to interpret the development of the recent plastic market.

After the outbreak of the financial crisis, although China's plastics machinery industry was seriously affected, the international competitiveness and anti-risk capabilities of the entire industry are increasing, and the strength for sustainable development is increasing. China's domestic plastics machinery products still have huge internal and external demands and profound market potential. Luo Baihui, the secretary-general of the International Die & Metal & Plastic Industry Suppliers Association believes that with the recovery of the world economy, China's plastics machinery industry will surely be in a new round of development. There is something in China University of Science and Technology. The new round of popular word search rankings in HC Plastics Network confirm this recognition. The data revealed that the injection molding machine is far ahead of the search volume, which is inseparable from the strong development momentum of plastic machinery. The engineering plastics closely followed the presses and occupied second place in search. At present, global PC demand is growing strongly, especially in the Asia Pacific region led by China. In Europe, we expect the average annual growth rate of PC demand will also reach 5%, and these favorable factors have contributed to the sound development of engineering plastics. And chemical giant BASF plans to double its engineering plastics production capacity in Pudong, China, by 2015. The current production capacity of engineering plastics in the Pudong production base is 45,000 tons/year, and it will be expanded to 110,000 tons/year by 2015.

The Shanghai fire burned out the disadvantages of polyurethane insulation materials, and safety issues became a critical issue for the plastics industry. Due to the increasingly rigorous safety and environmental protection standards and the increase in the use of plastic products, the global flame retardant market demand will grow at an average annual rate of 6% in the next four years. Therefore, the flame retardant deserves the third place in the search list. Bit.

In the data, we found that auto parts, as a new force in the plastics industry, have begun to receive attention. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, people are increasingly demanding the lighter weight and environmental protection of automobiles. Plastics, as a new type of component materials, have a broader application prospect in automobiles. Due to the rapid growth of demand for high-performance plastics in the automotive and electronics industries, multinational petrochemical giants have also begun to increase investment in this area to meet market demand. In the recent development of automotive plastic menacing, is likely to become the main force in the future of plastic.

Demand determines the market. From the statistical data we found that plastic additives became the first to buy. This fully shows that China's plastics market has begun to increase from the quantitative development to a qualitative development. How to avoid the occurrence of similar plasticizer incidents, how to ensure the safety of plastic products has become an insurmountable ultimate market development. We know that plastic products are actually a mixture of base resins and various pigments, fillers, and additives. The degree of dispersion of pigments, fillers, and additives in the resin is critical to the performance of plastic products. Therefore, plastic additives as an important component to determine the safety and quality of plastic products, so that it deserved to become the first purchase.

Since 2008, the Chinese government has successively introduced a series of policies and measures to expand domestic demand and maintain growth, including 4 trillion yuan in investment plans and 10 measures to expand domestic demand, thereby creating favorable development opportunities for the development of plastics machinery. The plastic machinery as the basis for the production of plastic products, but also shows its strong development trend. Although the search for purchases has decreased from the previous month, plastic machinery is still the main force in the development of the plastic market. Facts have proved that in more developed regions, the more demanding the presses are, the higher the grade of products required, and the more comprehensive the varieties, and the users of presses are often spread in a carpet-like manner and are blooming everywhere.

PBT can also be called thermoplastic polyester plastic, with heat resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance, good electrical properties, small water absorption, good gloss, widely used in electronic appliances, automotive parts, machinery, household products, etc. PBT products, together with PPS, PC, POM, and PA, are collectively referred to as the five general-purpose engineering plastics. In recent years, due to the development of related domestic industries, the demand for PBT resin has increased year by year. With the rapid development of China's national economy, especially the rapid development of the downstream electronics industry and the automotive industry, the rapid growth in the demand for PBT has been promoted. The adequate supply description of PBT shows that China's plastics market is developing rapidly and is steadily and positively moving toward a broader area.

From the table, we can see that the supply of ABS and PBT is almost the same, evenly divided. ABS resin has a wide range of applications in the area of ​​consumer products, such as building materials, pipes, sheets, or sheets. In recent years, ABS resins have been replaced by lower-cost PVC resins. ABS resins are used in construction-related fields where extruded sheets are used in sanitary appliances such as bath boxes, swimming pool linings, etc., injection molded pipes and fittings, and small quantities of extruded telephone cable lines are produced.
