Annual Report Overview

Highlights

The global PE capacity continued expanding steadily in 2019, and the capacity expansion was mainly in North America and Asia, especially for the LLDPE and HDPE units. However, with the complicated and changing international economic and political situation, Sino-U.S. trade friction and increasing risk of geopolitics, the global capacity expansion plan is likely to be blocked, and the global PE trading atmosphere is likely to change greatly. In China, as the major ethylene projects were put into operation intensively, in 2019, there was a new round of capacity expansion in the PE industry. The newly added capacity is expected to be around 2,300kt/a, and as of late 2019, China’s PE capacity will reach around 20,428kt/a. The import volume will reach the highest point as well, and the total PE import volume in China will reach 16,800kt, with overall supply pressure mounting in China. Influenced by the economic environment, the end industry was tepid over the recent years, with a low growth rate, failing to support the feedstock market. In general, the supply-demand contradiction in the PE market will be more prominent in 2019, and the feedstock price will hit the lowest point over recent years.

In 2019, the PE industry faced complicated macro conditions, and the market competition became fiercer. Thus, the imbalance between supply and demand is likely to be more prominent. Under this circumstance, will the supply and demand in China’s PE market be unbalanced? How will China’s PE market change after the newly added PE units at home and abroad put into operation? As the Chinese-made PE supply kept increasing while the traditional downstream capacity expanded slowly, will China’s PE prices hit the lowest point? What will become the key point among downstream industries? Will there be a new orientation for PE industry to develop? All of the above highlights in the PE industry will be interpreted in this report with comprehensive data and analysis.

Based on the first-hand data of 14 years of investigation from SCI, the authoritative data published by National Bureau of Statistics, General Administration of Customs, National Development and Reform Commission, etc., this report makes analyses on China’s PE market in 2019, combining with senior industry experts, domestic major suppliers, traders and downstream factories. Scientific analysis methods and data models are used to forecast the future PE market.

Report value:

1. Showing the change of global PE trade pattern, by analyzing global and China’s PE supply-demand pattern.

2. Showing China’s PE capacity, output, operating rate, and import and export data over the recent 5 years from multiple dimensions and analyzing the supply data of LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE respectively to show domestic PE supply pattern change.

3. Refining the demand and clearly showing PE demand distribution through the PE demand structure, regional distribution and the consumption structure of the LDPE/LLDPE/HDPE.

4. Analyzing PE major downstream industries to find the future demand growth pole; grasping the key point of downstream procurement by combining the demand slack and peak season as well as end procurement factors.

5. Keeping tracking the upstream and downstream inventory data, to clarify the driven factors for market prices fluctuations.

6. Guiding participants to choose feedstock through the comparative analysis of the cost and gross profit of each production process.
