Speaking of chemical industry and chemical fiber industry, going round and round year after year, just like raising a family, buying a gift and eating in a love period is a small amount of money. After getting married, we know that the RV is a bottom hole and the child is a bottomless hole! 2018 only after 4 months, there are seven "big mountains" waiting for the old irons to back!

The First Mountain: Limit Production and Discontinued Production

Recently, the news of production cuts and production cuts in various provinces, cities, and regions has wiped out a circle of friends. It has been caused by atmospheric pollution and serious water pollution. Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu have all “caught”! The supply of some raw materials and products has been affected!

The second mountain: shutting down the storm

This is also the news of friends' circles. Recently, Zhejiang has cancelled 61 safety production licenses for hazardous chemicals. Due to the dual pressures of environmental protection and safety supervision, hundreds of textile and printing and dyeing plants have been shut down and production has not been resumed yet! Follow-up will also have more small factories face shutdown!

The Third Mountain: Environmental Protection Continues

In 2018, environmental protection began to be strictly investigated for 3 years. Apart from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its neighboring regions and the Yangtze River Delta region, this time, the Xi Plain (including Xi'an and Xianyang in Shanxi Province and Shaanxi Province) will be included for the first time in key air pollution prevention and control regions. In the next three years, fighting pollution prevention and control will play a key role. The most important thing is to fight against the blue skies and further reduce PM2.5 concentrations. The surface of the chemical industry is calm, but in fact the inner collapse wants to cry!

The fourth mountain: giant price increases

From the Spring Festival to the present day, the chemical giant’s price notifications are one after the other, from the international amnesty to the domestic chemical giants, and even to the domestic public small and medium-sized manufacturers, with the rise in the downstream, directly triggered the recent surge in price! For the soaring prices of raw materials, everyone has a deep understanding, not much to say.

The fifth mountain: soaring shipping costs

Years ago, freight rates rose, many companies were forced to stop taking orders, and after years, the transport industry was experiencing setbacks. The “two sessions” banned travel restrictions, transported new policies, and strengthened control and control. Causes freight to rise steadily! Although shipping costs do not account for the bulk, the increase in costs still puts pressure on chemical companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

The sixth mountain: insufficient funds

The investment in the chemical industry is large. There are no tens of millions of dollars to open a factory, plus millions of funds. In addition, recruiting people, buying raw materials, water and electricity, environmental protection equipment, environmental taxes, etc., can be overwhelming! And even more so many small and medium-sized chemical companies headache is the unspoken rules of the chemical industry: first goods after the money! Regardless of whether the customer settles the money in time, the advancement of capital will require a large amount of financial support. Once the customer owes more money, many small and medium-sized chemical companies will collapse the capital chain and fall!

Seventh Mountain: Developmental Ambiguity

The development direction of many chemical companies is not clear, leading to the stagnation of enterprises, coupled with rapid development of the chemical industry, national policy guidance, the introduction of advanced technology or development of the industry, and other industries, these chemical companies are easily eliminated by the times.

In addition to the ambiguous direction of development and the unclear understanding of new technologies and new directions that lead to misuse of energy or the inability to learn and implement new concepts and technologies, and more unwilling to change the chemical bosses, the brain is confused!
