Transformation Of China'S Chemical Fiber Industry

In 2010, China The growth of the chemical fiber industry has reached its highest peak ever. However, the high growth figures do not make the industry optimistic about the future development, but it is a cause for concern in the industry. Statistics show that the overall efficiency of the first half of this year is better than that of last year, but many enterprises do not see that business is smooth as last year. "Last year was a special year." In the view of Duan Xiaoping, President of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, the good result of last year's financial crisis is the low data base of the previous year, and the two is the opportunity brought by the huge increase in cotton prices to the chemical fiber industry. Faced with rising raw material prices and low carbon environmental protection requirements this year, chemical fiber enterprises are facing unprecedented pressure. Transformation and upgrading become the only way for China's chemical fiber industry. How to upgrade? What technologies do you develop? How to open up the market? ... a series of problems waiting to be solved.

From a numerical point of view, the chemical fiber industry in China has maintained a small growth in the first half of this year, but the growth rate of output value, export and economic benefits has dropped sharply. "This shows that the current development environment of the industry has undergone great changes, reflecting the overall changes in the overall needs of the textile industry." Zheng Junlin, Secretary General of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that the growth rate of the industry in the future is unlikely to be that high. Compared with the unprecedented prosperity of the chemical fiber industry last year, the situation in the second half of this year will be "grim."

2011 is the opening year of China's "12th Five-Year plan" and the last year of the implementation of the textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan. During the opening year, the development and development trend of China's chemical fiber industry is crucial to accomplish the goals and tasks of the 12th Five-Year and the long-term development in the future.

Global chemical fiber industry pattern profound change

With the further transfer of global chemical fiber production to China, China has become the world's largest producer of chemical fibers. China's chemical fiber production accounts for more than 60% of the global total. The capacity of traditional developed countries and regions has been shrinking, and its new product R & D capability and production capacity are obviously inadequate. However, Japan, South Korea, the United States and Europe have become leaders and monopolist of high technology fiber and biomass engineering technology in the field of high-performance fiber and biomass materials. They are also strengthening this advantage through the adjustment of industrial structure and resource integration. The development of China's chemical fiber industry is changing from quantity growth to variety and quality improvement. Transformation and upgrading, innovation and development have become the main theme of the development of China's chemical fiber industry.

China's chemical fiber industry maintained an average annual growth rate of 13% during the "11th Five-Year" period. During the "12th Five-Year" period, the growth of chemical fiber industry will be adjusted to about 6%. Xiaoping explained that "from 13% to 6% seems to have dropped a lot, but due to the large capacity of China's chemical fiber production base, the dominant position of China's chemical fiber industry in the world's chemical fiber structure will not change." At this rate, the output of Chinese chemical fiber will reach 41 million tons by 2015. What areas will China focus on in the future? height Concern.

China's economy is in a stage of deep transformation. China's per capita GDP reaches more than 4000 US dollars, and has entered the threshold of moderately developed countries. With the improvement of living standards, domestic demand will maintain a steady growth. The middle class will become the mainstream of domestic consumption, and this group will have a stronger demand for high-end, personalized products. The development of chemical fiber industry must also adapt to this change and provide guarantee for meeting market demand.

Industrial upgrading is imperative.

After rapid growth in the past 10 years, the output of China's chemical fiber industry has increased from 6 million 940 thousand tons in 2000 to 30 million 890 thousand tons in 2010, accounting for more than 70% of the total textile fiber processing in China. It has played a positive and important role in making up for the shortage of natural fiber resources such as cotton, solving the contradiction between grain and cotton competition and meeting the needs of the rapid development of the textile and garment industry.

From the past 10 years of development, although the technological progress of China's chemical fiber industry is outstanding, equipment and manufacturing level is becoming increasingly sophisticated, variety specifications are becoming increasingly rich, product differentiation rate is gradually improving, and fiber and products application areas are expanding, but the development of the industry is still mainly based on volume growth, and in terms of product development, new product marketing and other aspects. chemical fiber There is still a gap between the productive powers and the regions.

The reasons for this gap are Xiaoping's analysis: first, the rapid growth of the domestic textile industry, and the demand for fiber volume in the textile industry is far greater than the demand for quality. The two is the profit seeking nature of capital. In the case that cost and scale can ensure investment returns, enterprises are obviously more willing to use funds to expand their scale. The three is that traditional developed countries have obvious advantages in new product development, and objectively become the target of domestic enterprises' imitation, resulting in insufficient domestic enterprises' R & D motivation. Four, differentiated and high value-added products are mainly based on the demand of textile processing, and the requirements for fiber quality and specifications are put forward by downstream users and foreign businessmen. Under the condition of long-term passive R & D, enterprises lack of sense of direction and R & D capability.

In the next 10 years, the production of global fiber industry will be further transferred to China, and the pattern of the world's chemical fiber industry will continue to change. Xiaoping believes that China's economic growth has entered a period of transition. The driving force of economic growth has shifted more to domestic demand, and the demand for personalized and differentiated products has grown larger. With the continuous upgrading of chemical fiber production, competition among domestic chemical fiber enterprises will further intensify. Competition will shift to product differentiation and high added value when the scale and cost can not win. Of course, the improvement of the equipment and technology level of domestic textile and chemical fiber manufacturing industry objectively creates favorable conditions for the research and development of new products of chemical fiber enterprises.

Industrial use has become a new growth point

In the next 5 years, the industry textile industry is expected to add 5 million tons of fiber demand, of which the main products are chemical fiber products. If the proportion is 90%, 4 million 500 thousand tons of chemical fiber products will be used in the field of industrial use. Compared with the new capacity of 10 million tons of chemical fiber, industrial textiles will undoubtedly become a bright spot for the future growth of chemical fiber industry. However, there is still a big gap between the development of high-tech fiber in China and foreign countries, and the efficiency of production enterprises is generally low. On the one hand, the development of industrial chemical fiber should realize the functionalization of conventional varieties. On the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the research, development and application of high performance fibers, so as to solve the problem that enterprises can not create more efficient products.

Green low carbon is the main content of the development of chemical fiber industry during the "12th Five-Year" period, and is also the foundation for sustainable development and future competitiveness of the industry. In the past ten years, the chemical fiber industry has been actively promoting the development of circular economy. utilize The main industry of circular economy has increased rapidly, and the level of technology products has been continuously improved. By the end of 2010, China's regenerated polyester fiber had an annual capacity of about 6000000 tons, and its actual output has reached nearly 4 million tons, accounting for 80% of the world's total output. China has become the largest producer of regenerated polyester fibers. In recent years, our country's regenerated fiber technology has made obvious progress, the localization technology is basically mature, the product quality level is quickening up, and the new product development speed is speeding up.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, the chemical fiber industry will attach great importance to the development of energy conservation and emission reduction and circular economy, and will gradually establish a recycling economy development mode. By 2015, the recycling scale of waste polyester products, chemical fiber fabrics and garments will reach 7 million tons. The application of recycled bottle flakes on high-end products, the recovery of waste textiles and garments, the development and utilization of renewable, biodegradable biomass fibers and their raw materials are the focus of the development of circular economy in the next 5 years. In addition, the level of cleaner production and comprehensive utilization of resources will be further improved.

The development of China's chemical fiber industry is changing from quantity growth to variety and quality improvement. Transformation and upgrading, innovation and development have become the main theme of the development of China's chemical fiber industry.
