Domestic EVA project progress inventory

Driven by market demand such as photovoltaics, the domestic EVA industry has ushered in rapid development
in recent years.
Since 2022, a number of domestic EVA projects have been promoted, on the one hand, the domestic EVA leader represented by Oriental Shenghong has launched photovoltaic grade EVA projects to further consolidate the low level of domestic leaders, while expanding the production capacity of EVA photovoltaic materials to alleviate the shortage of such high-end EVA products in China; At the same time, enterprises such as Sinochem Quanzhou and Zhongke Refining and Chemical have expanded their capacity to increase domestic EVA supply; On the other hand, there are also "new players" such as Baihong Chemical and Ningxia Coal Industry entering the game, striving to get a share in
this market.
Let's review the recent progress of
the domestic EVA project.
