In July 2012, although the plastic industry began to get rid of the impact of the European debt crisis, some plastic machinery suppliers predicted that the plastic market would still be fraught with considerable uncertainty in the coming June-September due to falling prices of upstream crude oil, naphtha and Asian ethylene as well as the pressure of insufficient downstream market demand.

The data show that in the first half of the year, there were 188,000 enterprises with a total industrial output value of 486.166 billion yuan, accounting for one tenth of the total output value of light industry. In the first half of the year, it grew by 8.1% year-on-year, and the cumulative growth rate was 0.6 percentage points higher than that in May. At present, the annual growth rate of China's plastic pipe market has reached 15%, ranking first in the world.

Experts predict that in the second half of 2012, the plastic industry will oscillate upwards and fluctuate monthly, but overall, due to macro-pull, it will achieve about 10% growth. Moreover, with the acceleration of urbanization and the increase of municipal pipeline construction projects in China, there is a rigid demand for plastic pipes and plastic films as the main consumption areas of polyethylene, and the basic industry of the plastic industry will not be affected.


Recently, the housing sector has begun to show signs of growth, and the start of new housing has also played a role in promoting the development of the plastic industry. Many signs indicate that the main terminal market of the plastic industry has begun to continue to recover. Especially by 2013, the development of plastics in the fields of motor vehicles, medical products, packaging, aerospace and computer will have increasing opportunities, and it is expected to achieve greater benefits.
