HZ info:In January and February 2025, the total output of plastic products in China was 11.152 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 8%, continuing the trend of recovery.

The third tier production camp is stable, and Hubei's rise challenges the traditional two giants

The two major economic engines of the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta continue to lead the production rankings, with Guangdong Province winning the championship with a production of 1.859 million tons, followed closely by Zhejiang Province with 1.832 million tons, accounting for 33.1% of the total national production. But Hubei Province has emerged as a new force - with a production of 1.379 million tons, it not only ranks third, but also significantly narrows the gap with the second place Zhejiang from 1.042 million tons in the same period last year to 453000 tons.

This catching up trend has been confirmed in the capacity release of the Hubei National Biodegradable Materials Industry Base. The 300000 ton polylactic acid production line, which will be put into operation in 2024, will form a complete industrial chain in high-end fields such as biodegradable tableware and medical packaging in Hubei.

The differentiation of growth rates reveals new trends in industries, and the acceleration of transfer in the central and western regions

The sharp differentiation of regional growth rates reflects the deep logic of industrial transfer. Hubei has achieved a remarkable year-on-year growth rate of 78.88%, which is attributed to the effective industrial transfer policy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. According to data tracked by the Buy Chemical Plastic Research Institute, 27 new plastic product projects with a total investment of 8.6 billion yuan will be launched in Hubei in 2024, of which 70% will come from the transfer of production capacity in coastal areas. The growth rates of 27.36% in Shandong and 10.12% in Anhui are equally impressive, and the cluster effect of the Southwest Shandong Plastic Industry Park and the North Anhui Modified Plastic Base is beginning to emerge.

The growth rates of Guangdong and Zhejiang are only 5.2% and 4.8% respectively, reflecting the pains of industrial upgrading. However, it is worth noting that the proportion of high value-added products in both regions continues to increase.

But in this industrial migration, Chongqing ranks first in the country with a production decline rate of 30.67%. According to the analysis of Buyi Plastics Research Institute, there are mainly two reasons for the decline in its growth rate. On the one hand, the industrial division of labor within the Chengdu Chongqing economic circle has been restructured, and the production capacity of low-end packaging materials has been transferred to low-cost areas such as Guang'an and Dazhou in Sichuan; On the other hand, local environmental supervision continues to intensify, and 23 small and medium-sized plastic enterprises in the main urban area will be shut down in 2024 due to non-compliance with VOCs emissions standards.

Multiple favorable factors drive industry transformation

Overall, the industry's recovery is driven by three factors: the return of overseas orders driving a 14% year-on-year increase in exports, the surge in demand for modified plastics driven by the wave of smart homes, and the biodegradable market generated by the upgrading of the "plastic ban".
