Jiang Shicheng: Chemical Fiber Has Become A Highlight In The Entire Textile Industry.

< p > in the past 2012, China's chemical fiber industry maintained a rapid growth in output while the market performance was sluggish and its efficiency declined significantly.

The situation is accelerating the pformation and upgrading of the chemical fiber industry.

< /p >

< p > Where is the key to industrial pformation and upgrading? What is the direction of the optimization and adjustment of chemical fiber product structure? How to pform technological strength into brand value? With these questions, the reporter interviewed academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, Jiang Shicheng, an expert in chemical fiber engineering design and technology management.

< /p >

< p > < strong > development mode urgently needs to be changed < /strong > < /p >

< p > reporter: since last year, the profits of chemical fiber enterprises have declined significantly, and the industry has entered a period of adjustment.

What do you think are the main problems facing the chemical fiber industry? < /p >

< p > Jiang Shicheng: statistics show that chemical fiber production reached 38 million 110 thousand tons last year, an increase of 4 million tons compared with the same period last year, and still maintained two digit growth.

At the same time, domestic and international market performance is weak, product inventories are increasing, corporate profits have declined significantly, and losses have expanded.

< /p >

< p > the main reasons for this situation are: the first is the huge fluctuation of raw material prices.

Due to the strong correlation between the price of chemical fiber and the crude oil market, the volatility of the crude oil market has led to the instability of the chemical fiber market and increased the operational risk of the enterprise.

This risk is not only directly reflected in the fall in product prices, but more importantly, the industrial chain confidence has been hit hard, and in the process of rapid price decline, the loss of raw materials and products of enterprises has been seriously damaged.

< /p >

< p > two is the impact of low cost excessive competition at cost.

In recent years, repeated construction of conventional varieties, over production capacity, and some enterprises have been selling products at a reduced price, causing confusion in the market and affecting the healthy development of the industry.

In view of this situation, China Chemical Fiber Industry Association launched self-discipline work last year, and achieved certain results.

< /p >

< p > three is the lack of innovation driven.

At present, most chemical fiber enterprises lack the ability to develop products, and the investment in science and technology is not enough, and the combination of production, teaching and research is not enough.

In addition, innovative talents are also scarce.

< /p >

< p > I believe that the main problem facing the chemical fiber industry is the excessive growth of conventional varieties and the problem of excess capacity.

The first two years, the chemical fiber industry as a whole is running well, and domestic and foreign capital continues to rise in the industry, resulting in a faster growth in capacity.

Although investment growth has dropped sharply in 2012, some projects have been postponed or put into operation, but the pressure of new capacity is still very high.

Take "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp "polyester polyester less than /a" as an example, the production capacity of polyester plant is about about 4000000 tons, of which 1 million 600 thousand tons of polyester bottle.

If the current growth rate continues to develop, the environment, resources and other aspects will be difficult to bear.

At present, the production capacity of chemical fiber is concentrated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. The local land resources are already very tight, and at the same time, they are faced with many pressures such as environmental protection.

In addition, many chemical fiber materials rely on imports, such as wood pulp, ethylene glycol, PX and so on.

Resource constraints also do not support excessive capacity growth.

< /p >

< p > < strong > market demand is development direction < /strong > /p >

< p > reporter: pformation and upgrading is the main task of the chemical fiber industry. What do you think are the specific ways? < /p >

< p > Jiang Shicheng: first of all, the development of chemical fiber industry must turn to the upgrading of quality from the pursuit of quantity.

The chemical fiber industry can no longer expand blindly. We should seize the opportunity to speed up product structure adjustment and technological innovation, make good use of existing capacity, rely on scientific and technological innovation, develop new products that meet market demand, and provide new impetus for the development of the industry.

Last year, many chemical fiber enterprises suffered losses, but some enterprises realized profits under the bad market situation.

These enterprises have changed rapidly, relying on innovation drive, avoiding homogenization competition, and forming their own characteristics.

So chemical fiber enterprises should think calmly, how to locate and how to get out of the new road.

< /p >

< p > secondly, the chemical fiber industry should speed up industrial restructuring and form some large conglomerates.

This is more conducive to integrating resources, concentrating superior talents, and further promoting industrial upgrading.

< /p >

< p > again, we must speed up the elimination of backward production capacity, adopt more advanced technology and equipment to carry out technological pformation and independent innovation of existing production lines, or build more competitive devices to improve production efficiency and enhance the effective supply capacity of the market.

< /p >

< p > in addition, powerful enterprises can pfer overseas.

At present, anti-dumping and technical barriers have hindered China's chemical fiber products entering the international market.

The strength enterprises can make use of the advantages of scale, technology and quality, and build factories in countries with the advantages of overseas resources and so on.

< /p >

< p > reporter: what do you think is the direction of optimizing the structure of chemical fiber products? < /p >

< p > Jiang Shicheng: at present, the proportion of fiber grade products in chemical fiber products accounts for a large proportion, accounting for about 85%, while non fiber products account for only about 15%, which needs further expansion.

In this regard, foreign countries have had very successful experiences.

After nearly 30 years of development, in Europe and the United States and other developed countries, fiber grade products account for only 1/3, while non fiber products account for 2/3, and the added value of non fiber products is also very high.

Although the consumption level of non fiber polyester in China is still low, the application of products is limited to only a few fields such as packaging, electronics and electrical appliances. With the development of our economy and the improvement of people's living standard, non fiber polyester will be applied in more fields.

In this regard, China's research and development is still relatively small, technical support is not enough, products are concentrated in the low end, and in the high-end field is still blank, so we need to strengthen basic research.

< /p >

< p > on the other hand, the application fields of fiber grade products have expanded from clothing, home textiles and other traditional fields to industrial use.

In the field of industrial applications, chemical fiber products have broad prospects for development and need joint development.

For example, high-performance fiber composites are widely used in aerospace, energy, construction, environmental protection and marine industries.

However, the high performance fiber industry is a complicated system engineering because of its high technical difficulty and large professional span. It requires highly integrated innovation.

< /p >

< p > in addition, the use of chemical fiber products also needs to be constantly improved and optimized, improving the quality of conventional products, vigorously developing differentiated and functional fibers, and increasing the added value and competitiveness of products.

We must also pay attention to the application and development of downstream industries.

For example, when the quality and serialization of conventional products are continuously improved, the polyester filament products should also be closely combined with market demand. Through the technology of multi-functional composite and blending, combined with the trend of diversification, high quality and versatility of garment fabrics, we can develop high simulation and super imitation products.

< /p >

< p > < strong > soft power construction is a long-term process < /strong > < /p >.

< p > reporter: what deficiencies do you think the chemical fiber industry has in terms of soft power? How can we make breakthroughs in management, brand and so on? < /p >

< p > Jiang Shicheng: textile products not only have the function of wearing, but also include many factors such as culture, brand and so on.

Most of the chemical fiber enterprises belong to the production enterprises. The main concern is production and technology. Therefore, we need to gradually change and strengthen product marketing and brand building.

In this regard, enterprises should have long-term and meticulous planning, because the establishment of brands needs a long-term process, and the joint development of industrial chains is needed.

< /p >

< p > in recent years, the quality of chemical fiber products has been improving.

In terms of management, enterprises also need to improve the level of modern management, learn from the advanced experience of modern management, and strengthen the training and updating of senior composite talents.

< /p >

< p > reporter: the trend of fiber trend will be released again this year. How do you evaluate this activity and its influence in the industry? < /p >

< p > Jiang Shicheng: the release of fiber fashion trend has played a good guiding role in the development of the industry.

In terms of technological innovation and product development, we should guide enterprises to attach importance to market demand and avoid disorderly competition, and at the same time, make enterprises more closely linked with downstream.

The release of fiber fashion trend also showed the highlights of the chemical fiber industry, and expanded the influence of chemical fiber in the whole < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > textile > /a > industry.

< /p >

< p > this activity is also promoting the pformation of chemical fiber enterprises.

< a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_h.asp > > chemical fiber < /a > the development of new products should gather the strength of the whole industrial chain.

Chemical fiber production enterprises and weaving, printing and dyeing downstream enterprises to coordinate and develop jointly, products can gradually open the market.

Enterprises must closely rely on scientific and technological progress, speed up the pace of independent innovation, and promote industrial upgrading and brand building.
