it is expected that China's coating industry will continue to move towards the goal of high-grade in 2004

February 5, 2004

in 2003, China's coating industry was affected by Iraq. Coating enterprises in some southern provinces of China, such as Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and other places, which are sensitive to the price fluctuations in the oil market, had to raise the sales prices of some coatings, To make up for the losses of the enterprise. And those coating enterprises that are not strongly dependent on petrochemical raw materials and have sufficient inventory preparation seize the rare opportunity to seize the market and continue to expand market share. However, the sudden SARS epidemic has impacted the paint production that originally entered the peak season, and the market suddenly ran aground. In particular, the demand for architectural paint has been restricted due to the large-scale suspension of engineering construction and home decoration construction. Fortunately, with the elimination of the SARS epidemic, the paint market rebounded significantly, and the production ushered in a new peak season. The production volume doubled, and the products sold well. Based on this situation, it is expected that 2004 will be a year of rapid development for China's coating industry

the market situation of architectural coatings is gratifying.

the fastest growing part of China's coating industry is architectural coatings. Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are the main production areas, with an average annual growth rate of 15%. Many domestic joint ventures have built factories and offices here. According to the data, China's annual demand for architectural coatings reaches 2million ~ 3million tons, which has become the largest market in Asia. With the continuous expansion of the domestic coating market, international coating enterprises have also increased the pace of entering the Chinese market. At present, Xuanwei, Nippon, ICI, BASF and Hangao, the top ten coating enterprises in the world, have set up general agents or production plants in China. The share of foreign coating enterprises in China's coating market has reached about 45%. And almost monopolized the market of medium and high-end coating products. In short, China's building paint market has huge demand and growth potential. With the country's goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the per capita housing area in cities and towns will rise from 22m2 per capita in 2002 to 30m2 per capita in 2020. Alone, the demand for building paint will reach 6million tons

the demand for synthetic resin has increased rapidly

in recent years, China's demand for synthetic resin has maintained a rapid growth trend. In the synthetic resin industry, joint ventures and wholly-owned enterprises have increased significantly. It can be predicted that from 2004, the production capacity of the five major synthetic resins will further increase, and the annual production capacity of the new synthetic resins will reach 6.7 million tons. Among them, the new annual production capacity of polyethylene is 2.44 million tons, that of polypropylene is 1.43 million tons, that of PVC is 1.5 million tons, that of polystyrene is 910000 tons, and that of ABS is 300000 tons

the growth rate of automotive coatings is rapid.

since 2002, China's automotive market, once known as the most potential for growth, has begun to release extraordinary energy. Consumer demand has exploded, promoting the capacity expansion of domestic automotive enterprises, and the total annual demand for automobiles has exceeded 4million. As one of the two pillars of the coating industry, architectural coatings and automotive coatings, the development of automobile will promote the quality, output and variety of automotive coatings to a new level. It is estimated that the demand for various automotive coatings will exceed 200000 tons in 2004, and the demand for automotive touch up paint, including agricultural vehicles, will reach 250000 tons. China's automobile manufacturing technology mainly comes from Germany, Japan, the United States, South Korea and other countries. The coating quality standards are different, the demand is diverse, and the design and variety change frequently. With the rapid growth of domestic car production, car imports have increased sharply, and the number of domestic cars is increasing day by day. The development prospect of China's automotive touch up paint market is attractive

at present, China's paint production is mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Delta (41.7%), the Pearl River Delta (21.85%), and Beijing and surrounding areas (11.93%) where caustic soda, chlorine and chlorine products are manufactured and sold by companies. The basic pattern of the three pillars in the three regions will not change fundamentally. Relevant experts predict that China's paint output will reach 26 million tons in 2004. In addition to the rapid growth of output, the product structure will be qualitatively improved, the quality requirements will be further in line with international standards, the variety changes will meet the needs of market diversification, human culture and personalization, and the R & D ability and level will be significantly improved. Looking forward to the future, China's coating industry will still be full of vitality and vigor. Water based coatings, powder coatings and solvent-free coatings are still the mainstream of the development of coatings in China. The functional coatings with the medium and long-term energy technology development strategy and development plan value formulated by Gaojia to 2020 will gather stars, and the coating products will continue to move towards the goal of high-grade
