China Plastic Pine Industry Indepth Research and Investment Strategy Planning Report, 2013-2017

Plastic pine was first to be used in Germany in 1936. And in 1939, UK paved the world’s first plastic pipe water line. Afterwards, the plastic pine develops very rapidly, which continuingly substitutes metal pine or other traditional pipe. When entering the end of 1980s and 1990s, with the development of plastic industry, foreign big enterprises researched and developed a batch of new plastic pines, with higher performance, wider scope of application, and better for construction and improving residents environment. E.g. high density polyethylene (HDPE) tube, crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tube, polypropylene pipes, glass fiber reinforced plastic (RPM) tube, plastic/metal complex pipe (RPM) and other plastic pines with different materials, as well as double-wall corrugated pipe, spiral wound tube, radial reinforcement tube and other plastic pines with special pine structure. Since 1990s, with the appearance of new technologies and new products, the plastics pines have substituted the scope of traditional pines, which promotes the rapid growth of global plastic pipe market demand.

In the early of 1980s, China began to apply plastics pines in construction drainage and water supply systems. Afterwards, the Ministry of Light Industry and the Ministry of Construction chaired and drew up relevant regulations for plastic pipe construction, which greatly promotes the development of China plastic pipe industry. Since 1990s, China has released all kinds of policies and measures in succession, to eliminate the traditional pipes, with high energy consumption and server pollution, and China begins to promote the extensive application of plastic pipes in many fields, including residential construction, urban municipal projects, communication and transportation construction, and agricultural irrigation, which vigorously promotes the rapid development of plastic pine industry. At present, China can deal well with producing small-bore plastic pines, replacing some traditional pines, like steel pines and cast iron pines in construction, and can well produce pines for the fields of construction drainage, communication cable and cable jacket, etc. China also makes a better progress in some fields, which have higher requirement for plastic pipes, such as water supply tube, fuel gas pipe, municipal projects, traffic embedded, energy transmission and so on.

During the “eleventh five-year” period, China’s macro-economy still develops very fast. The market demand in construction industry, municipal projects, water conservancy projects, agricultural industry and industrial industry continues to increasing, which further stimulates the high-speed development of China plastic pipe industry. According to estimation, in 2012, the output of China plastic pipe was 84.021 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 44.76%. China has become the largest producer and application country in the world. In terms of GUPE, the level of China’s flexible interface polyethylene pipe, large-bore steel and plastic composite wrapped pine has reached the international advanced level.

In addition, the State’s policies support the large-scale application of plastic pipes. In the future, the pave of rural water supply network will strongly support the production of plastic pines. It’s predicted the quality improvement and application expanding of China plastic pine industry will continue to maintain the relatively high growth development in the next 5-10 years. According to conservative prediction, from 2011 to 2015, the output of China plastic pine industry will maintain the growth between 10% and 15%. By 2015, the output of China plastic pine industry will reach more than 13 million tons.

With Forward’s long-term tracking and collecting market data of plastic pine industry, we roundly and accurately analyze the industry structure system for you from the view of mastering the whole industry. From the perspective of macro background, the report mainly analyzes the development status of current plastic pine industry; the market competitiveness of plastic pine industry; the market segmentation supply and demand status and development prospects of plastic pine industry; the application situation and application prospects of plastic pine industry; the market supply and demand status and prospects of domestic plastic pine in many domestic regions; the leading corporations’ operational conditions in plastic pine industry; as well as the development trend and prospects forecast of plastic pine industry. Meanwhile, with comprehensive and specific first-hand market data over the past 5 years, Forward helps you to grasp the market and development trends of plastic pine industry, so as to win advantages from competition!

The most distinctive characteristics of this report is forward-looking and timeliness. Through analyzing forward-looking characteristic of abundant first-hand market data, we deeply and objectively dissect China current plastic pine industry’s development status. Furthermore, based on future development tracks and years’ practice experience of plastic pine industry, we conduct prudent analysis and forecast for plastic pine industry’s future development trend. This report helps plastic pine enterprises, R&D institutions, marketing enterprises and investment enterprises to precisely grasp current latest developments of the industry. Afterwards, they can make wise operating decisions and define enterprises’ development directions. Moreover, this report is the first and weighty report on analyzing the up and down stream industrial chain of plastic pine industry and analyzing its leading corporations in an all-round and systematical way.

Here, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to State Information Center, Bureau of Statistics of China, International Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, Tsinghua University Library, Development Research Center of the State Council and Beijing Essence Forward Research Center, for their great support when we conduct this report!
