Analysis of the polyester market in 2012

Mainland China will add 200 metric tons of annual production capacity next year to the Polyester industry. The main raw material used for the production of ethylene glycol (EG) will only increase by approximately 100,000 metric tons.

Global EG plant capacity utilization this year has reached 83% of the high-grade water level, is expected to continue next year. Due to the small amount of new production capacity in the world, it helps EG operators' operating performance.

According to statistics from the polyester industry, in 2012, the new capacity of the polyester industry in mainland China will be approximately 2 million metric tons. The upstream raw material EG will be used. The capacity to be added next year is only 80,000 metric tons per year for Dacheng Biotechnology and 0.3 million metric tons for Sanjiang Chemical. And Huai'an and Yuan Chemicals 500,000 tons and so on.

Since Huai'an and Yuan Chemical will be put into production in the fourth quarter of next year, it is expected that the mainland will only increase the EG's annual production capacity by about 100,000 metric tons.

In mainland China, from this year to 2013, the new EG production capacity totals about 600,000 to 800,000 metric tons, but with the rapid expansion of the downstream polyester industry, the demand for raw materials EG will be hot, which will cause EG prices to rise. The EG is expected to continue in 2012. Long position.

EG is one of the important chemical fiber raw materials, and its capacity is second only to pure terephthalic acid (PTA). EG and PTA can be polymerized to produce polyester fiber and polyester sheet. Among them, after drawing polyester fiber, it can produce cloth, clothes, etc. The polyester sheet can be molded into a special bottle, which is the largest carbonated beverage container. In addition, EG alone can be used as a winter antifreeze to avoid freezing water pipes.
