What about the double whammy of the global financial crisis and the continuing decline of the real estate industry? Recently I visited and investigated the domestic some large plastic pipe production enterprises, through the analysis and solicit opinions from the relevant experts, the conclusion - plastic pipeline industry development in our joy is greater than sorrow. The following aspects can be analyzed:

Domestic demand is climbing

In recent years, with the deepening of the reform and opening up in China and the state of the infrastructure construction of increasing investment, domestic demand for plastic pipe has remained more than 15% of the country's average annual growth rate, especially in the area of urban water supply and drainage pipeline construction, plastic pipe is playing an increasingly important role. Compared with the traditional cast iron pipe, the plastic pipe has a light weight and long service life. Generally speaking, the service life of plastic pipe is more than 50 years, which basically achieves the same service life as the building.

In some special fields, plastic pipe are very large, such as the current most eye-catching radiant floor heating industry, people - Xa or PE - RT with PE pipe as heat pipe, through the floor radiation heating the whole room, has the advantages of comfortable safety, environmental protection and energy saving, has become the north area of choice for winter heating, and even in some cities, if the new buildings go unattended without installation of floor heating. Under the strong market demand, is engaged in the floor heating in plastic pipe production enterprises almost overnight, the qinhuangdao macro yue plastic co., LTD., more become the nation's largest floor heating pipe production base, the company PE - 2008 Xa pipe production in the country first.

At the same time, the plastic pipe to further broaden the application area, in addition to the municipal and building to, drainage pipeline, agricultural, water supply, irrigation and drainage pipeline continues to grow, the rural drinking water, solar water pipe, municipal sewage, ground source heat pump pipeline, communications, electricity, gas, heating, medical and other industries the application of a huge increase in proportion. Now is available plastic pipe is applied to the structure, drainage, heating buildings, urban gas supply, urban tap water, municipal drainage, drainage, rural drinking water, agricultural irrigation and drainage, electricity, communications, industrial and many other fields.

& other; 11th five-year plan & throughout; During the period, the annual demand of the plastic pipe for construction in China is about 5 billion meters. By 2010, China's plastic pipe production will reach 4.5 million tons, and by 2015, it will reach 6 million tons, when China will become the largest plastic pipe production country in the world.

Product development ability is continuously strengthened

Apparent acceleration industry science and technology progress in recent years, especially the increase of international communication to drive the improvement of the level of science and technology, many enterprise attaches great importance to the foreign advanced technology, and at the same time of the introduction of advanced processing equipment, pay more attention to new product research and development and the introduction of new technology, the technical level of the domestic plastic pipe is gradually narrowing the gap with foreign developed countries. Plastic pipe of new varieties, new structure, new materials, new technology, new technology and patent project more and more, in addition to PE, PE - X, PB, pipe, corrugated pipe and other varieties have a great progress, high temperature resistant polyethylene pipe (PE - RT), plastic composite pipe (such as HLDPE drain, mute, etc.), plastic composite pipe and all kinds of metal materials and composite materials of corrugated pipe, circular ribs, winding pipe and other new type pipe also rapid development.

With the increasing awareness of domestic pipe enterprises' independent innovation, the development of new PVC pipeline is very active, and the technological progress has brought innovation value to the PVC pipe. At present, the domestic outstanding technical innovation results are pressure pipeline modified PVC (PVC - M) tube and oriented PVC (PVC - O) tube. The two varieties through physical and chemical modification, while maintaining the tubing original strength advantages, well improve the impact resistance pipe, PE pipe toughness and strength of PVC -u at a suit, can improve the performance, and can save material, which extends the application field.

In other plastic pipe products research and development and innovation, remarkable achievements, such as PE - RT steel tubes has now been spawned aluminum, oxygen resistance, capillary and other varieties, and pp-r pipes are steady, fibreglass, plastic aluminum nearly 10 kinds. The continuous appearance of these new products has improved the performance of this kind of pipe and expanded its application scope.

International competitiveness has been consolidated

In recent years, as domestic enterprises continue to grow and expand, China's plastic pipeline has gradually replaced imported pipes and become extremely competitive products. Many enterprises attach great importance to the international frontier technology, attach importance to the development of new products and the introduction of new technologies, and continuously increase the research and development of new products while introducing advanced processing equipment. Some large enterprises have their own research and development center, has the certain technical strength, the technical level is gradually narrowing the gap with the developed country, is now imported from simple alternative to the product export development.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, the amount of plastic pipe production in 2007 reached about 3.5 million tons. At present, our country has become the second only to the United States the world's second largest plastic pipe production power, annual production capacity of more than 10000 tons of enterprises reached more than 100, more than 100000 tons of enterprise has more than 20. International advanced level has been developed in the aspects of high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW) pipe material, flexible interface polyethylene pipe, large-diameter drainage and steel composite winding pipe. Thus, also drive the product export increase by a wide margin, and exports of 224300 tons in 2006, exports of 291500 tons in 2007, exports of 355600 tons in 2008, export growth was 19.1%, 30.2% and 19.1% respectively.

Compared with foreign products, plastic pipes in China are cheap and competitive in the international market. Some forward-looking domestic enterprises began to actively expand the international market, make full use of domestic products of high quality and low price advantage, a firm foothold in the international market, some products have been sold to southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the americas and Europe and other regions. According to qinhuangdao macro plastic co., LTD. Marketing manager ming-ke wang yue, start at the end of 2007 the company engaged in export trade, through to attend the Canton fair and foreign exhibition obtained abundant customer resources, has now formed a bulk exports, exports in more than $10 million this year plan.

National policy support comes into play

The plastic pipe has the advantages of saving energy and protecting natural environment, which is in line with the development direction of national industry. According to the national chemical materials industry & rdquo; 15 & ldquo; plan and 2010 development plan outline, the promotion and application of plastic piping will be vigorously developed, with emphasis on PVC and PE management. By 2010, the national building, rebuilding and expansion projects, construction of drainage pipe with 80% plastic pipe, building rainwater drain 70% using plastic pipe, plastic pipe using reached 30%, urban drainage pipe building water supply, water supply and heating tube 80% using plastic pipe, urban water supply pipeline (70% below DN400mm) using plastic pipe, rural water supply pipeline adopts 70% plastic pipe, city gas plastic pipe (low pressure pipe) are as high as 60%, building wire threading casing 90% using plastic tube.

With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the state will invest heavily in the construction of sewage treatment plants and the construction of drainage network in many cities in the next few years. In 2010, the amount of water that is planned to be reclaimed from sewage will reach 30% of the total amount of sewage. All these have brought a broad prospect for the development of plastic pipe industry in China.

But at the same time also want to see, plastic pipe industry in our country, there are some adverse factors restricting the development, such as the market competition of malignant change leads to low prices, raw material import dependency, new products and new technology application, slow, etc., especially in the current global economic crisis to plastic pipeline industry development impact is very large. In order to speed up the development of plastic pipe industry in China, the author suggests that the industry association should play an active role in providing services and support to enterprises. Accelerate China's raw material development speed, regulate industry self-discipline. To establish strict quality constraints mechanism, make the high quality, high technology content products enterprise has become the mainstream in the market, but also make construction enterprises to grasp more advanced technology, so as to enhance the overall effect of use of the product.
