Packaging Polyester Capacity and Demand

The application of non-fiber polyester in China began in the early 1980s. After entering the 1990s, the consumption and production volume increased rapidly. In 1995, domestic non-fibre polyester production capacity was only 111,200 tons, output was approximately 95,000 tons, and actual consumption reached 180,000 tons; by 1999, China's non-fibre polyester-only bottle polyester production enterprises had increased to 13 companies. The actual production capacity of nearly 400,000 tons. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of non-fiber polyester production capacity in China has reached nearly 30%.
Compared with glass bottles and general plastic bottles, bottle polyester polyester bottles have superior performance, which has led many countries to develop polyester bottles in a short period of time and gradually form an industrial scale of production.
The largest end use of PET with polyester is soft drink packaging. At present, 77% of global bottle polyester resins are used for food packaging, and non-food packaging accounts for only 23%. In food packaging, carbonated beverage bottles are mainly used, which account for about 50% of the total. Other beverage packaging accounts for 21%, and edible oils and salad packaging account for about 6%. In the global consumption of plastic bottles, PET bottles account for about 20%. In the past five years, the annual growth rate of polyester bottles reached 18%.
Polyester bottle was originally used only for a small amount of foreign brand beverage packaging, and the real mass use started in recent years. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for packaging materials is also increasing, and polyester packaging containers just meet this requirement. Especially in beverage packaging, polyester bottles have gradually replaced PVC bottles, glass bottles, tin cans, and aluminum cans with their excellent performance. At the same time, other uses of polyester are also expanding, such as polyester packaging containers for cosmetics, drugs, edible oil, etc., and its demand growth is very rapid.
Beverage bottles According to statistics from the China Beverage Association, domestic beverage production in 1999 was approximately 19.4 million tons. Among them, carbonated drinks accounted for 46%, drinking water accounted for 21%, and tea accounted for 9%. 95% of the water, about 70% of the carbonated beverages are packed in polyester, and the beverages packed in polyester account for about 60% of the total beverage production. In 1999, China produced 6.67 million tons of carbonated beverages, consumed 140,000 tons of polyester, and produced about 3 million tons of drinking water, which consumed about 80,000 tons of polyester. Polyester bottles are also used in hot beverage packaging such as tea. In 1999, China produced approximately 1.3 million tons of tea beverages, about 1.5 billion PET bottles for hot cans and about 40,000 tons of polyester.
Cooking Oil Bottles From 1992 to 1998, the annual consumption of edible oil in China rose from 7 million tons to 11.3 million tons, an increase of 61%. The edible oil packaging is mainly high-density polyethylene, and a small amount of polyester packaging. However, as people's awareness of consumption increases and the transparency and cleanliness of packaging are pursued, polyester bottles grow faster in edible oil packaging. At present, about 10% of edible oil in China uses small polyester packaging, and about 40,000 tons of polyester are consumed annually. It is expected that the transparent packaged edible oil will be more and more popular among consumers, and the polyester oil bottle will partially replace the HDPE bottle.
Polyester film Polyester film mainly refers to biaxially stretched polyester film. As there are fewer professional producers of membrane-grade polyester, some domestic polyester film manufacturers purchase raw materials from fiber-grade polyester production plants. At present, the annual production capacity of polyester film in China is about 100,000 tons, and the output is about 80,000 tons.
The domestic polyester film equipment is generally small in scale, and there are less than 30 companies with an annual output capacity of over 10,000 tons. The vast majority of large and medium-sized thin-film companies' equipment is imported from abroad. The country's largest polyester film production plant is Foshan Dupont Hongji Company, with an annual production capacity of 22,000 tons. The small equipment below 10,000 tons is mainly domestically produced.
China's largest application market for polyester film is packaging, accounting for about 50% of the total usage, for electrical insulation of about 20%, for 8% of photosensitive materials, construction and decoration industry consumption of about 10%, in addition to the electronics industry About 2% of consumption (mainly imported products).
In 1999, the demand for polyester film in China was 110,000 to 120,000 tons. At present, the annual supply of polyester film in China is about 80,000 tons, and 20,000 to 30,000 tons of imported products are also needed to meet the needs of some specialized applications.
At present, due to the excellent performance of polyester packaging materials is accepted by more and more industries, its application areas are expanding. Not only polyester materials are increasingly used in food packaging, but also in non-food packaging such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the consumption of polyester is also growing rapidly. Therefore, we believe that polyester non-fiber applications will have a broader perspective.
The reason is as follows:
The application of polyester bottles is conducive to energy conservation. The energy consumption of polyester bottles is low, only 41% to 64% of glass bottles. If they are further recycled, their energy consumption can be reduced by about 50%. As an environmental protection and energy-saving material, polyester has a broad application prospect.
The application of polyester packaging materials can increase product value According to reports, China's only packaging a loss of more than 10 billion yuan a year, which due to the rough appearance of the packaging, high damage rate resulting in the largest losses. The domestic export commodities are often because the packaging in the international market is often the first-class products, second-class packaging, third-class prices, in particular, many exported native products, often because the packaging materials and packaging can not meet the requirements of foreign countries and can not enter the international market. If something is changed to polyester, this situation can be changed. For example, in terms of food packaging, polyester has good barrier properties and is non-toxic, and can meet the hygienic requirements of food packaging in many countries. In non-food packaging, polyester has high transparency and high strength, and can be aesthetically pleasing by only adding a little decoration. The generous demands can help the goods increase their prices and increase their profits.
Polyester bottle instead of glass bottles, increase the sense of security, application potential non-fibre polyester most market potential is: alternative beer bottles. At present, some foreign beer production plants use polyester bottles. Once the PET bottle replaces the glass beer bottle, based on the beer production exceeding 20 million tons in 1999, it will consume about 25 to 30 billion beer bottles (including recycling). Even if it is partially replaced, its market prospect is inestimable. . In addition, the use of polyester beer bottles can greatly reduce the accidental injury caused by the explosion of glass bottles, which is beneficial to both consumers and manufacturers. According to estimates from a domestic brewery, if the production of polyester beer bottles and the filling process pass, the product quality can be completely trusted, then the cost of polyester beer bottles can be applied to medium and high grades when the cost is reduced to 0.7-0.8 yuan per bottle. Beer packaging.
