In recent years, China has developed into the center of the global manufacturing industry, and has gradually become one of the important manufacturing and supply bases of the international polyurethane industry.

Recently, at the Sixth International Polyurethane Industry Exhibition held in Guangzhou, the hot spots and difficulties of industrial development have become the focus of attention of exhibitors and spectators.

Industrial development should be centralized.

According to the introduction, the current situation of polyurethane industry in China can be summarized as three points: first, in the international polyurethane market, the trend of large-scale and specialized production of basic raw materials is obvious; two, the new materials, new technologies, new technologies and new applications of polyurethane have springing up all over the world and penetrated into all fields of national economy and daily life. Three, the domestic enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region began to form industrial groups from basic raw materials to various products relying on the advantages of raw materials, markets, trade and talents.

However, at present, China's polyurethane industry's investment in independent innovation is not enough, and the corresponding institutional mechanisms are also not sound enough.

Experts said that in the face of the new market situation, the domestic polyurethane industry should speed up its efforts towards collectivization, scale and specialization.

The relevant government departments should strengthen the guidance of industrial planning, encourage the cultivation of polyurethane production bases in key areas, cultivate a group of enterprises with strong strength, and improve the international competitiveness of China's polyurethane industry as a whole.

Development imbalance is a constraint factor

According to the insiders, there are many problems in the development of China's polyurethane industry, such as uneven production distribution and lagging downstream technological innovation.

At present, the domestic polyurethane production is extremely unbalanced, the main production capacity is concentrated in the eastern region, and the development speed of other areas is slow because of lack of funds, technology and human resources.

In addition, as a part of the industrial chain, the development of downstream products market will directly affect the production of upstream raw materials.

It is understood that in recent years, China's upstream production of raw materials supporting development is still available, of which polyether polyols and isocyanates production level has been greatly improved, but the downstream application areas of technological innovation need to be accelerated.

Compared with foreign countries, the technical gap of polyurethane downstream products in China is relatively large, and most products are still in the primary application stage.

Energy saving and environmental protection generate new market

In recent years, with the concept of environmental protection getting more and more popular, the superiority of polyurethane products is also highlighted.

The development of waterproof and thermal insulation new building materials, superfine fiber super leather, polyurethane imitation wood materials and so on, reflects from one side that China is gradually integrating with the international market.

With its own characteristics, polyurethane has gradually replaced wood, natural leather and other materials, and has continuously opened up new space in addition to traditional applications.

Statistics show that about 50% of building insulation materials in developed countries such as Europe and America are polyurethane materials, but in China, this proportion is only about 10%.

The energy saving medium and long term special plan promulgated by the state recently stipulates that by 2010, China's urban buildings need to achieve a design standard of 50% energy saving.

The building energy conservation policy has created huge development space for China's polyurethane industry.
