    The shortage of raw materials may be difficult to improve.



    The German Chemical Industry Association dropped from 32% to 15%.

    China is the world’s largest chemical producer, accounting for 37% of global chemical sales .


    This incident may seriously affect the import of many high-end products, especially the chemical industry.


    Many products in my country's chemical industry are also dependent on imports, such as high-end titanium dioxide, certain pigment products and upstream chemical raw materials.
    Among the 27 EU countries sanctioned this time, dozens of chemical companies are included.
    For example, specialty chemicals companies Lanxess, Solvay, and Rhodia, resin companies DSM and Arkema, coating companies Akzo Nobel and BASF, polyethylene and polypropylene companies Borealis, and adhesive technology companies Henkel, Silicone company Wacker Chemie, titanium dioxide company Connors, etc .

    my country is the world's largest methanol production, marketing and import country, and changes in supply and demand margins and trade changes have a profound impact on my country's methanol price.



    my country is the world's largest demand for ethylene glycol, and the Middle East has abundant petroleum resources and extremely low cost.


    It is also an important producer of ethylene glycol.
    The demand for ethylene glycol in the region is close to zero, and its dependence on external sources is high.

    my country is a major importer of styrene.


    In recent years, the number of large-scale production enterprises engaged in the production of styrene in my country is relatively small.
    As a result, the market supply is still unable to meet the increasing domestic consumer demand, and the market has a high dependence on imported products.




    In the second half of 2020, with the effective control of the epidemic, the domestic propylene demand gap has widened, downstream buyers' enthusiasm for inquiries about imported sources has rebounded, and the import volume has returned to its peak.



    In the titanium dioxide industry, although China's titanium dioxide production capacity accounts for about half of the world's, my country lacks high-grade rutile and high-titanium slag, and the raw materials for high-end chlorinated titanium self-powder mainly rely on imports.



    Although my country's organic pigment industry is gradually improving, and the proportion of global organic pigment production continues to increase, at present, domestic traditional organic pigment products are fully competitive, and high-performance products rely on imports.

    But with the rise of China's local chemical companies, the European Union lost its dominance of the Asian market.
