2008 Special Situation Of Polyurethane Industry Chain In Olympic Year

This year is a special year for China. The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. At the same time, this year is a special year for the polyurethane industry chain.

With the rising impact of international oil prices, the polyurethane industry chain has seen the situation of "upstream price rise, middle stream follow suit and downstream payment".

Upstream price increases this year, chemical products continued to rise in prices, mainly reflected in two aspects, first, chemical products rose more or less, two is rising product growth, rising product categories are also rising.

In the field of polyurethane, related raw materials such as crude oil, pure benzene, aniline, liquid chlorine, propylene, methanol and so on all showed a marked increase.

The middle stream follow suit Dow Chemical Corporation claims: "there is no reason for the middle reaches of the supply chain to bear the rising cost".

So Dow announced its price increase in July, and DuPont, BASF, Lu Bo run, Ke Ju ya, Huntsman, Ying Chuang and DuPont announced their own price raising measures.

Not only that, but other manufacturing industries worldwide are also raising prices.

Since the beginning of last year, the international oil price has continued to rise.

The labor intensive industries downstream of the polyurethane industry are in a difficult position.

Downstream of the polyurethane industry chain, textile, plastics, coatings, textiles, leather, shoemaking, spandex and other enterprises, on the one hand, are squeezed by the profit margins in the upstream and middle reaches, and on the other hand, they are affected by the economic situation at home and abroad.

Under pressure, some uncompetitive small and medium-sized enterprises choose to pfer, pform or upgrade.
