Analysis of the Basic Profile of the Polycarbonate Industry

Polycarbonate (PC for short) is a high molecular polymer containing carbonate groups in the molecular chain.
It is a colorless and transparent strong and tough solid.
Its transparency is second only to PMMA and PS.
Its light transmittance can reach 89% and it is odorless.
, non-toxic, good coloring, can be made into various colorful products

Polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), thermoplastic polyester (PBT), and polyphenylene ether (PPO) are also known as the five major engineering plastics, of which PC is the fastest growing among the five major engineering plastics.
Fast general-purpose engineering plastics that are widely used in automotive, construction, packaging, healthcare, household goods, aerospace and more

　　1.
In 2019, China's polycarbonate output is nearly 900,000 tons

In recent years, as these enterprises have begun to build polycarbonate production projects in China, which has greatly increased the domestic polycarbonate production capacity, China's polycarbonate industry has ushered in new development opportunities

2.
The demand for polycarbonate in China maintains rapid growth

　　In recent years, with the rapid development of the national economy, China's demand for polycarbonate has also continued to grow.
In 2019, China's apparent consumption of polycarbonate (PC) was 2.
18 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 15.
8%

3.
Sufficient supply of key raw material bisphenol A

　　The upstream of polycarbonate (PC) is the oil, natural gas, and chemical industries.
The main raw materials include: phosgene, DMC, bisphenol A, and the downstream includes the automotive, construction, packaging, medical care, household goods, aerospace and other industries

　　Global bisphenol A production capacity is mainly concentrated in Asia, Western Europe, North America and other regions

　　The main manufacturers of bisphenol A include Covestro, SABIC, Hansen, Formosa Plastics Group, LG Chem,

etc.

4.
Market prospects: It is expected that downstream demand will maintain a low growth rate in the future

　　It is expected that in the next few years, the application of domestic polycarbonate in the fields of electronics, automobiles, home appliances, and medical care will maintain a growth rate of 4%-6%
