Abstract
Report Scope and Methodology
This report examines China' s macroeconomic trends, investment environment, plastic pipe industry structure and capacities, production and demand, enduse market consumption trends, distribution channels and industry participants. Long-term forecasts for major plastic pipe production and demand are included. The report contains over 78 tables and charts. Key plastic pipe producers and major plastic resin suppliers are listed and profiled. Major research institutes and trading companies are also listed.
Most primary and secondary research is done in China in order to access up-to-date government regulations, market information and industry data. Data was collected from the Chinese government publications, Chinese official website, China' s official statistic organization, Chinese chemical online databases, Chinese plastic industry associations, local governments' chemical industry bureaus, and plastic pipe industry publications. Interviews are conducted with Chinese plastic industry experts, university professors, and plastic pipe producers in China.
Historical data include 1996, 2001 and 2006. Longterm development trends are projected to the years 2011 and 2016. Economic models and quantitative methods are applied in this report to project market demand and industry trends. Metric system is used and values are presented in either yuan (RMB, current price) and/or US dollars. Exchange rate refers to the real-time exchange rate published by China Central Bank. The word "demand" is used interchangeably with "consumption". Totals may not add due to rounding.
Executive Summary
The Chinese economy maintains a high speed growth which has been stimulated by the consecutive increases of industrial output, import & export, consumer consumption and capital investment. Since its opening-up and reform, China becomes the 6th economic entity in the world with GNP breaking RMB 20 trillion yuan. In recent years, under the background of global economy recession, China remains an average growth rate around 9%, remaining one of the countries with the fastest economy growth.
China' s economy development has its unique characteristics. First of all, under the obvious slowdown of global economy, China realizes the rapid growth of economy by sticking to the policy of expanding domestic demand and firmly implementing proactive fiscal policy and moderate monetary policy. Secondly, economic structure adjustment obtains positive progress. The agriculture structure has been optimized and high quality and special farm products have been increased. High-tech industries such as information and biology industry have developed rapidly. The reconstruction of traditional industries and the capacity of eliminating backward production have obtained comparatively great headway. Infrastructure construction has made remarkable achievement in completing a set of key projects including highway, railway, interstate road, key water control project and rural electricity network reconstruction. Western development is launched smoothly and import ant project s such as Qinghai- Tibet railway and transmission of electricity from the western to the eastern region has started. Thirdly, the quality and efficiency of economic growth have been further improved. Industrial enterprises output value increase constantly. With the great increase in the taxation, national fiscal revenue realized two digital growths. Fourthly, the foreign economic & trades have been further expanded. The total volume of import and export has broken US$1,760 billion, of which export volume mounts to US$969.1 billion and import volume mounts to US791.6 billion, up 29.5% and 26.6% annually respectively in the last 5 years. Finally, the people' s living standard is continuously improved. The per capita disposable income of residents in cities and towns actually increases by 11.4%. Social security expenditures have been greatly increased in the finance of central and local governments. The subsistence allowances for laid-off workers and basic pensions for retirees have been basically fully granted on time. The State lifts the level of pension of retirees and employees of public institutions and organs and increases the basic pension of retirees. The burden of farmers has been relieved by eliminating the agriculture tax, which exist for thousands of years, improve the grain price greatly, speeding up the reconstruction of rural electricity network and trimming the price of electricity. The markets of urban and rural areas have developed prosperously, and the living condition and transportation have been further improved.
