The three directions will guide plastic enterprises to move forward

Environmentally friendly plastics came into being

As far as China's current plastics industry is concerned, the development of renewable resources industry is one of the important contents of China's development of circular economy industry. Due to the increasing environmental protection efforts, the state has paid more and more attention to the environmental protection recycling industry. Among them, plastics are the main source of “white pollution”, and its recycling and environmental protection is much concerned by environmentalists.

At present, biodegradable plastics, high-tech functional new materials and recycling of waste plastics, which are environmentally friendly plastic products, are becoming a hot spot for global research and development. Among them, the development of biodegradable plastics is particularly rapid, and plastic manufacturers are also recognized. A huge business opportunity in the biodegradable plastics market.

Well-known chemical producers such as DuPont, Cargill and BASF continue to enter this market through mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. As one of the world's major suppliers of biodegradable plastics, China accounts for about 20% of global production capacity. The main target markets for biodegradable plastics are plastic packaging films, agricultural films, disposable plastic bags and disposable plastic tableware. Compared with traditional plastic packaging materials, the new degradable materials cost slightly higher.

However, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, people are willing to use new and more expensive degradable materials for environmental protection. The enhancement of environmental awareness has brought tremendous development opportunities to the biodegradable new materials industry.

Automotive plastics can be expected in the future

According to reports, in China's existing land, the number of cars owned is only behind the United States, currently more than 100 million, ranking second in the world. At the same time, China is also a major manufacturing country in the automotive industry worldwide. According to statistics, it has an annual output of more than 18 million vehicles.

As we all know, from the perspective of energy saving and emission reduction, it is the most effective way to reduce the weight of the car under the premise of maintaining the necessary performance of the car. Trying to use the polymer material marked by plastic is the most effective and powerful way to achieve weight loss. way. San Francisco-based Grand View Research said in a recent research report that the market value of automotive plastics is expected to reach $53 billion by 2022, thanks to increased demand for drive trains and interior and exterior applications.

It can be seen that the market prospect of automotive plastics is quite broad, which has become a hot spot for many plastics companies. Pulit, a leading domestic automotive modified plastics company, focuses on the field of automotive materials. 95% of its modified plastics are used in the automotive sector. They are mainly classified into modified polyolefins, modified abs, plastic alloys and others. Raw materials include synthetic resins such as PP, ABS, and PC, accounting for more than 80% of the cost of the main business.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the automotive industry is bound to develop rapidly, which gives car plastic a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After having a good market prospect, the company needs to make persistent efforts to continuously develop the potential of plastic raw materials, so that automotive plastics have more competitive advantages, so that the automotive plastics market can continue to grow and develop.

3D printed materials full of fantasy

According to the 3D industry authority report, the average annual growth rate of the 3D printing market in the past three years is 27.4%. It is expected that the 3D printing market will reach US$6 billion in 2019. Among them, the application market share in medical applications accounted for 15.1%, and it is expected that the market will reach 1.9 billion US dollars in 2025, equivalent to more than 10 billion yuan. In fact, in order to develop the 3D printing industry, in addition to the hardware and software of the 3D printer itself, another core element that determines the industry is material technology. The development and breakthrough of 3D printing materials is the basis for the promotion and application of 3D printing technology, and it is also the fundamental guarantee for printing.
