On March 27, the 3rd expanded meeting of the 7th session of the Board of Directors and the 5th session of the 7th Executive Board of the China Chemical Fiber Association was held in Shanghai. How to promote the high-quality development of Chinese chemical fiber industry under the new background was discussed deeply.
The operation of chemical fiber industry shows toughness
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's production of chemical fiber in 2022 will reach 64.88 million tons, a slight decrease of 0.55% year-on-year. The chemical fiber industry achieved a revenue of 1.0900.74 billion yuan, up by 5.32% year on year; Total profit was 24.129 billion yuan, down 62.22 percent year on year.
But overall, the operation of our chemical fiber industry still shows some resilience.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, fixed asset investment in China's chemical fiber industry increased by 21.4 percent year on year in 2022. According to Chinese customs data, the country exported 5.654,500 tons of chemical fiber in 2022, an increase of 8.76 percent year-on-year. All these reflect the increasing international market demand as well as the improvement of the competitiveness of our chemical fiber products.
Sun Ruizhe, president of China National Textile Industry Council, pointed out that the development of fiber materials is the source and forerunner of industry design innovation, process innovation, equipment innovation and product innovation. In 2022, chemical fiber will account for about 85 percent of China's total textile fiber processing capacity. China's chemical fiber output will account for over 70 percent of the world's total production capacity of high-performance fiber. Chemical fiber industry is the foundation of our textile industry's scale advantage, system advantage and innovation advantage, which determines the depth of innovation, breadth of application and height of value of the industry.
Guan Xiaorui, vice president and secretary general of China Chemical Fiber Association, introduced that the operation of China's chemical fiber industry will still show some highlights in 2022. For example, the carbon fiber industry still maintains a high prosperity, the bio-based fiber industry scale maintains rapid growth, the pace of research and development of differentiated and functional fibers is accelerating, and the export still maintains a good growth trend.
In 2023, the operation trend of chemical fiber industry is also concerned.
Many guests at the meeting believed that the whole year, China's chemical fiber industry is expected to usher in a bottoming stable development trend. In the long term, the fundamentals of accelerating transformation and upgrading and long-term development of Chinese chemical fiber industry have not changed, and there is still a great space and potential for development.
The domestic textile and garment market is poised to recover steadily this year, but the pressure on the export market is expected to increase. From the capacity aspect, the capacity of chemical fiber industry is still likely to maintain inertia growth. "Overall, the performance of the chemical fiber industry still depends on the recovery of demand in downstream textile markets." Guan Xiaorui said that the development priorities of the chemical fiber industry this year include: adhere to the "three products" strategy, strengthen support for scientific and technological innovation, continue to deepen the supply-side structural reform; Expand the international market, seize the opportunity and momentum of chemical fiber export growth, expand the overseas market.
In addition, China Chemical Fiber Association also reminds, chemical fiber enterprises to grasp the pace of investment, rational investment.
