How to better develop China's plastic pipeline industry in the new situation
Wang Zhanjie - China Plastics Processing Industry Association

　　In the past two years, the plastic pipeline industry in China has faced a complex and ever-changing development situation, with the domestic economy facing pressure from shrinking demand, supply shocks, and weakened expectations, resulting in significant market changes. Combined with the impact of the epidemic and many unfavorable factors, the downward pressure has increased. In the new market environment, the development of China's plastic pipeline industry presents new characteristics. Although the annual output growth is not significant, the volume is still considerable; The concentration of industries is strengthening, and the industrial structure is constantly upgrading; The level of intelligence has been improved, and innovation driven development has reached a higher level; The quality level has improved, green development is becoming increasingly evident, and the industry as a whole is maintaining a stable development trend.
　　In 2021, we overcame various impacts and continuously worked hard in the context of economic downturn. The total annual production achieved 16.6 million tons, a year-on-year increase of about 1.5%, and made certain progress in industry technological progress, market expansion, and quality development.
　　In the future, while facing new situations, challenges, and opportunities, the plastic pipeline industry in China still has development resilience and potential. New urbanization, rural modernization planning, and the construction of “dual and new” will all bring new opportunities for the development of the industry.
　　This article will elaborate on the current development status of China's plastic pipeline industry in the past two years, as well as the difficulties and challenges it is currently facing. It will also explore how the Chinese plastic pipeline industry should respond to new market situations, achieve innovation, move towards green environmental protection, continuously improve its service level, and promote the development of the industry chain in the future.
