The total output of paint hits a record high

At the end of 2011, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the total output of the paint industry in China from January to December 2011 reached 10.795 million tons, and exceeded the 10 million tons mark for the first time in history. Among them, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Jiangsu ranked the top three in terms of output. . This means that China's paint industry will continue to maintain the world's top spot in terms of production and sales volume. It also marks the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period for China's paint industry.

It is understood that in 1992, China’s paint output reached the million-ton level for the first time, and the output was 1.058 million tons for the first time. It took 10 years since then, and the coating production exceeded 2 million tons in 2002. Since then, the industry has used the momentum of China’s economic growth. The production and sales volume showed a trend of blowout. It took only 9 years to break through the 10 million tons mark, becoming an indispensable and important fine chemical product in national life and national economic construction. However, in 2011, the global production and sales volume of Chinese coatings exceeded 10 million tons, which was affected by multiple factors.

First, the impact of national policies. In 2010, the Central Document No. 1 proposed to seize the opportunity for the rapid growth of rural housing construction and abundant supply of building materials, to support farmers’ housing construction as a major measure to expand domestic demand, and to take effective measures to promote “building materials to the countryside” and encourage farmers. Build self-use houses according to laws and regulations. Among them, the paint was an important part of the central government's stimulus to domestic demand last year. At the same time, the government proposed to build 36 million sets of affordable housing during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, of which 10 million sets of affordable housing were implemented on the ground in 2011. As a result, the output of protective housing to pull paint is relatively obvious.

In addition, from the perspective of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of coatings, the rapid development of industries such as new energy, transportation, transportation, and information also requires the matching of coating products, which also drives up the increase in coating production.

In 2012, China's paint output was nearly 13 million tons. It continued to maintain its position as the world’s largest paint producer. According to the preliminary statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the GDP of the country for the full year of 2012 was 51,932.2 billion yuan, which was calculated at a comparable price and was up by 7.8% over the previous year. The rapid growth of GDP has driven the continuous rise of paint production in 2012. Although the coatings market has experienced significant fluctuations in the consumer market and continued high raw material prices, the Chinese coatings industry has maintained its vitality.

In 2012, the development of China's paint industry is still in an important strategic opportunity period. The industrial structure is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading. Domestic demand continues to expand. Technological innovation has become the main theme of the industry development. Cleaner production, energy conservation and environmental protection, circular economy, and high functionality Such processes or products will become new growth points for the development of the industry, and the proportion of the national paint industry will also increase.

At the same time, with the country’s emphasis on green buildings and the promotion of new urban construction, the demand for coatings has also increased. In 2012, the construction of state-owned housing was continued and the state attached great importance to infrastructure such as industry. Anti-corrosion coatings were widely used in the fields of petroleum industry, heavy machinery, urban infrastructure, and pipeline construction. In 2010, the output reached approximately 650,000 tons, and reached 2011. Nearly 800,000 tons, an increase of more than 20%.

In 2012, China's paint production reached 12.81775 million tons, and it continued to maintain its position as the world's largest paint producer. However, experts have expressed the hope that China can move from a big paint nation to a paint power as soon as possible, instead of just increasing its output, more products Quality and brand awareness increase.
