    Recently, BASF's new integrated production base project in Guangdong was officially launched, and the first batch of modified engineering plastics and TPU units were built

    There is a structural surplus of modified plastics in my country, and the production and sales are relatively concentrated 

    China's modified plastics have structural excess, production  and sales are relatively concentrated 

    In recent years, the demand for modified plastics in China has continued to grow.
    In 2018, the output of modified plastics in China was 17.
    83 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.
    4%, and the modification rate was 20.
    8%; the demand was about 11.
    89 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.
    1%.
    , the growth rate dropped slightly


    .


    In terms of the composition of modified plastic products in China, modified PP, modified ABS and modified PS are the main products, while modified PET, modified POM and modified PPO account for a small proportion


    .


    In terms of regions, the output of modified plastics in China is mainly concentrated in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces, the production and sales are mainly concentrated in East China and South China, and the central and southwest regions are increasing year by year


    .


            Structural excess, the market share of state-owned enterprises is only 30% 

    Structural excess, the market share of state-owned enterprises is only 30%  Structural excess, the market share of state-owned enterprises is only 30% 

            The total number of modified plastics production enterprises in China exceeds 3,000, most of which have an annual output of less than 3,000 tons, and only more than 70 with more than 3,000 tons.
    The production scale of the enterprises is generally small


    .


            Although there are many universities, research institutes and enterprises engaged in the research of modified plastics, the research and development direction of universities and research institutes is more focused on theory and less on engineering application technology; Weak research and development strength in other aspects


    .


            In China's modified plastic production capacity, domestic enterprises account for about 73%, and foreign or joint ventures account for about 27%


    .


            At present, large foreign companies that have established modified plastic production bases in China include BASF, LATI, DuPont, Solvay, Dow, Lanxess, Asahi Kasei, Poly, Samsung, LG, Kumho, DSM,


    etc.


            Most of these companies are large-scale chemical enterprises integrating raw material production, modification processing, and product sales, while domestic modified plastics enterprises have not yet developed to the stage of front-end and back-end integration, and are limited in the control of raw material costs
    .

            Downstream demand is stable, and integrated development has advantages 

    The downstream demand is stable, and the integrated development has advantages.
     
    The downstream demand is stable and the integrated development has advantages.
     

            The two main application fields of modified plastics in China are home appliances and automobiles.
    With the steady growth of the domestic economy, the demand for modified plastics in the home appliance field will maintain a relatively stable and small growth

    .

            Due to the development of automotive lightweight technology and the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, the average consumption of bicycles in the automotive industry will increase significantly
    .

            The demand for modified plastics will maintain a relatively stable growth rate and has development prospects
    .

            The raw materials of modified plastics are mainly general-purpose plastics and engineering plastics, and the price trend of these plastics is basically the same as that of crude oil prices, indicating that upstream companies have strong cost-shifting ability
    .

            Therefore, in addition to increasing R&D efforts and investment to produce high-end, sophisticated products, integrated enterprises with upstream resources will have great advantages
