With the continuous increase in consumption and structural contradictions, the plastics industry can only accelerate the development process of “intellectual creation” and form new development momentum by combining national strategies such as “Made in China 2025”, “Internet +” and “Belt and Road”. In order to achieve transformation and upgrading and sustainable development.

Industry structural contradictions are still outstanding

With the rapid development of the plastics industry, China has become a veritable plastics production and consumption country. In 2015, China's plastic raw material output reached 79.61 million tons, and the apparent consumption was 104 million tons, breaking through 100 million tons for the first time.

While affirming the achievements of the plastics industry, Fu Xiangsheng pointed out that the current structural contradictions in the industry are still outstanding. In 2015, China's synthetic resin import and export deficit was 36.3 billion yuan, which is the industry with the largest trade deficit in all chemical industries. The trend of high-end products relying on imports has not changed. The representative self-sufficiency rate of polycarbonate is only 27%, and the self-sufficiency rate of high-end polyolefins is only 38%.

An important direction for upgrading the plastics industry is the “intellectual transformation”, and plastic machinery is the key material basis. Although China's plastic machinery industry is in a tight trend from generation to generation, it continues to carry out beneficial explorations of equipment upgrading and intelligent manufacturing. But objectively speaking, most of the plastic machine industry is still at the level of industry 2.5, and there is still a big gap from Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 requires the production line to be intelligent from recognition, perception, identification, judgment to self-correction. At present, we still have gaps in this respect.

Industry's overall standards need to be improved

The plastic products industry is one of the fastest growing industries in China's light industry in recent years, and its growth rate has remained above 10%. In the future, plastic products must be developed with technology-saving and energy-saving as the starting point for technology development, achieving high-performance, multi-functional, environmental protection and wide application fields in the plastics industry.

Therefore, expanding the industrial scale of China's plastics industry and upgrading the overall industry standards has become the most important task of China's plastics industry.

"Plastic Internet" is a business that the plastic industry colleagues must face, must adapt to, and must embrace in the new era. In the future, the plastics industry under the “Internet of Things” model will become the mainstream based on the supply chain business model; the promotion of the entire industry will play a subversive role.

As a new business model, mobile Internet can not only improve the overall economic profit of the plastics industry, but also help to promote the improvement of the informationization level of the plastics industry in management, operation, marketing and sales. Thereby promoting the overall strength of the plastics industry.

Current trends in processing companies in the industry

As one of the pillar industries of China's light industry, the plastics industry has maintained a growth rate of more than 10% in recent years. In the plastic products industry, the total output value of enterprises above designated size ranked third among the 19 major industries in light industry, achieving a product sales rate of 97.8%, higher than the average level of the light industry.

The development of enterprises under the new normal is the input of structural adjustment, innovation drive, and control of resources and environment.

The overall development trend can be summarized as the following three points:

1. Integration of manufacturing technology and new high technology.

On the basis of continuous breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies in the plastics industry, we will focus on the core technologies of the current commonalities and strive to narrow the gap between high-tech production technologies and developed countries. The acceleration of technological progress will give plastic materials and plastic products more new functions to meet the needs of the national economy.

2. Nowadays, the more popular digital and intelligent manufacturing technology.

Digital and intelligent technology is the common enabling technology for product innovation and manufacturing technology innovation, and profoundly reforms the production mode and industrial form of the manufacturing industry. It is the core technology of the new industrial revolution.

3. Lightweight, precise, clean production and ecological.

Lightweight technology will bring significant convenience to the development of the plastics industry. In the future, the use of lightweight materials in automobiles, airplanes, and rail transit will become more and more extensive; precision is an embodiment of advanced molding technology in the plastics industry, which is of great significance to the industry; clean production and ecologicalization. To create a new world for energy saving and emission reduction in the plastics processing industry.
