Brief introduction to the development of plastic pipe industry

Plastic pipe refers to the pipe fittings and pipes processed and produced by plastic extrusion molding, injection molding and composite molding technology.

Compared with traditional pipes such as cast iron pipes and cement pipes, plastic pipes have the advantages of energy saving, material saving, environmental protection, light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, smooth inner wall and no scaling, easy construction and maintenance, and long service life. Therefore, traditional pipes with high cost and high energy consumption are gradually eliminated in some application scenarios.

At present, plastic pipes are widely used in building water supply and drainage, urban and rural water supply and drainage, urban gas, agricultural irrigation and other construction, municipal, industrial and agricultural fields.Under the guidance of industrial policy, Chinese plastic pipeline industry has made rapid development after 2000, and now it has become the largest plastic pipeline production and application country in the world.

In recent years, with the growth of downstream demand slowing down, the growth rate of plastic pipeline output is also slowing down, and the industry demand has entered a plateau.

The plastic pipeline industry has gradually formed an industrial function cluster based on upstream refining and chemical capacity. The production enterprises are mainly concentrated in coastal and economically developed provinces and cities such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong and Fujian. At present, the production capacity in East and South China has occupied more than half of the country. With the slowdown of downstream demand growth, head enterprises with strong comprehensive strength, in the fierce stock competition, gradually occupy a dominant position, industry concentration has been significantly improved.And now with the continuous upgrading of consumption, downstream customers pay more attention to product brand, quality and service, whether in the engineering or retail field, it is easier for the head enterprise to stand out in the competition.

With the implementation of environmental protection policies in recent years, the brand effect and head effect of leading enterprises appear, the industry clearance is accelerated, backward production capacity enterprises gradually withdraw, the plastic pipeline industry gradually from the "big industry, small business" disorderly competition to a standardized and orderly market competition environment.
