Abstract
In the past two years, China's plastic pipe industry has faced a complex and changeable development situation. The domestic economy is facing the pressure of shrinking demand, supply shocks and expected weakening, and the market has changed greatly. Superimposed by the epidemic situation and many adverse factors, the downward pressure increases. In the new market environment, the development of China's plastic pipe industry presents new characteristics. Although the annual output growth is not large, the volume is still considerable; Industry concentration has been strengthened and industrial structure has been continuously upgraded; The level of intelligence has been improved, and the innovation drive has reached a higher level; The quality level has been improved, the green development has become increasingly obvious, and the industry as a whole has maintained a steady development trend.In 2021, China’s plastic pipe industry overcame various difficulties and made constant efforts in the economic downturn environment. The annual total output reached 16.6 million tons, an increase of about 1.5% year on year, and made some progress in industrial scientific and technological progress, market expansion, quality development and other aspects.
In the future, China's plastic pipe industry will still have development toughness and potential while facing new situations, new challenges and new opportunities. New urbanization, rural modernization and the “China Built” will bring new opportunities for the development of the industry.
This article will describe the development status of China's plastic pipe industry in the past two years, as well as the difficulties and challenges, and will discuss how China's plastic pipe industry should cope with the new market situation, how to achieve innovation, how to achieve environmental protection and sustainable development, how to improve its service level and promote the development of the industrial chain in the future.
