The output is 2,328,600 tons, 2,266,600 tons and 1,938,600 tons, accounting for 10.92%, 10.63% and 9.09% of the domestic production of modified plastics, respectively.

3, home appliances and automobiles as the main downstream areas of modified plastics

From the downstream demand, home appliances, automobiles, office equipment, electrical and electronic and power tools are the main application areas of modified plastics. Among them, home appliances as the first major consumer of modified plastics in 2020, accounting for about 34%, followed by the automotive sector, accounting for 19%. With the national "plastic instead of steel", "plastic instead of wood" policy continues to promote, we believe that the future downstream demand for modified plastics will be more extensive. While the demand for traditional applications is gradually slowing down, new market applications will gradually be opened.

Industry Competition

1, regional competition: China's modified plastics industry production capacity is mainly distributed in East China

From the point of view of the distribution of production capacity, at present, China's modified plastics industry production capacity is mainly distributed in the East China region, the 2020 national modified plastics production top fifteen provinces and cities. Production of the top fifteen provinces and cities, East China accounted for five, East China modified plastics production accounted for the largest proportion, including Jiangsu Province modified plastics production accounted for 11.74%, Zhejiang Province modified plastics production accounted for 11.43%, Shandong Province modified plastics production accounted for 9.77%, Fujian Province modified plastics production accounted for 4.13%.

2, enterprise competition: the industry's overall concentration is relatively low, jinfa science and technology production and sales leading

According to the modified plastics industry listed companies published in the 2020 annual report data show that, in 2020, jinfa science and technology modified plastics sales of 1,546,600 tons, an increase of 22.36%; national grace shares modified Plastic sales of 301,200 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.00%; Huitong shares modified plastic sales of 345,200 tons. At present, China's modified plastics industry's leading listed companies are Jinfa Science and Technology, Guoen shares and will pass shares, these three listed companies modified plastics business revenue and modified plastics production and sales volume is large. From the point of view of the production and sales rate, in 2020, only polystone chemical, silver jubilee science and technology and Walter shares of modified plastics production and sales ratio is greater than 100%, the other enterprises are in a state of overcapacity.

In 2020, from the modified plastics production, Jinfa Science and Technology's market share of 7.1%, Huitong's market share of 1.6%; Guoen's market share reached 1.4%.

Overall, China's modified plastics industry market concentration is not high, from the point of view of the production of each enterprise, in 2020, modified plastics operating market CR5 market share of 12.62%, mainly because of the modified plastics process is shorter and simpler, at present, some of the general-purpose large varieties of modified plastics of the original formula of the market is open, and therefore enter the manufacturer more. The core of the competitiveness of modified plastics products lies in the formula, in the design of the formula, raw materials and modification additives, slight changes in the ratio will cause large fluctuations in product performance indicators. Therefore, in the automotive, precision instruments and other areas of modified plastics technology and capital barriers are higher, while in the packaging, office supplies, tableware and other areas of application of modified plastics technology barriers are lower.

Industry Development Prospects and Trends Forecast

1, it is expected that in 2026, the domestic production of modified plastics reached 28.58 million tons or so

Modified plastics as a new material products, belong to the category of the country's strategic emerging industries, and therefore by the national policy to encourage and support. Support, the central and local for the healthy and stable operation of the industry to provide a good policy environment. Among them, "Made in China 2025", "Outline of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" and "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Strategic Emerging Industries" set the direction for the development of modified plastics technology.

Future, modified plastics will be high-performance, environmental protection, multi-functional direction, and gradually penetrate into more applications. However, the current production environment of the modified plastics industry is not optimistic, the domestic modified plastics industry after the rapid development of the early stage, the industry is currently experiencing overcapacity status quo, at the same time, the domestic economic slowdown, international trade friction intensified, a number of countries to carry out the restriction of plastic ban on plastic. 2021 China's economy from the impact of the new crown epidemic began to recover from the impact of the modified plastics downstream industries in the automotive and household appliances have a greater impact on the two industries corresponding to the demand for modified plastics. Industry corresponding to the demand for modified plastics has also rebounded, the new crown epidemic brought about by the medical device equipment industry surge in demand for modified plastics increased the demand for modified plastics, a comprehensive view of the next five years, the domestic modified plastics industry will enter a period of recovery, the output began to grow, the compound annual growth rate is expected to be around 5% by 2026, the domestic production of modified plastics reached 28.58 million tons or so.

2, modified plastics applications continue to broaden, performance continues to improve, environmental

Modified plastics applications gradually broaden. The application of new technologies makes modified plastics in the flame retardant, alloying level has been continuously improved, and its applications from a single industrial field gradually to building materials, electrical and other fields to expand. For example, modified PP plastic can effectively replace the application of marble, which has a light weight, low cost, good processability and other characteristics.

Engineering plastics high performance. Engineering plastics through modification can enhance a variety of mechanical and physical properties to meet the downstream industry on engineering plastics high performance requirements, such as high temperature resistance, high flame retardant, high heat resistance, high flow, wear resistance, high rigidity and other properties. High-performance engineering plastics is mainly through the engineering plastics using the "alloying" method of processing, through the engineering plastics and some other plastics using *** mixing, grafting and blocking, etc., so that a variety of plastics performance organic combination, so as to build a new compatible with a variety of high-performance plastic materials, has been used in the engineering plastics, and now has been used in the engineering plastics industry. The plastic materials have been widely used in engineering applications.

Nano-modified plastics in the production process to add the amount of inorganic nanoparticles is small, the amount added is only about 1/10 of the usual amount of inorganic fillers, and the density of the composite material and the density of the original resin is not a big deviation, so the modified plastics obtained using nanotechnology will not be due to the increase in the density of modified plastics and the corresponding increase in the factory production cost of modified plastics, and it is also corresponding to the circumvention of the density of the filler is too much, so that it can be used as a new material. Therefore, the modified plastics obtained by nanotechnology will not increase the production cost of the modified plastics due to the increase of density of the modified plastics, and also avoid the defects of the modified plastics caused by the decrease of performance due to the excessive fillers. The performance of the modified plastics after nanoimprovement has been strengthened, and the nanoimproved plastics will not be broken in the process of processing or recycling, and the modified plastics have gained a strong recyclability.

With the growing global environmental awareness, consumers are demanding more and more flame retardant plastic products, non-halogen, low-smoke, low-toxicity environmentally friendly flame retardant has been more and more widely required to use, some multinational corporations, such as Sony, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, etc. have also put forward their own environmental standards, in addition to restricting halogenated compounds, but also on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and other heavy metals to implement the control of the limit.
