The era of the hottest polyester bottle chips has

The era of polyester bottle chips has come.

the pace of product innovation of new materials for bottle polyester will accelerate in the future, and the development is slow in recent years. Since 1999, the annual production capacity of bottle polyester has increased by only 40000 tons. In recent years, with the improvement of domestic residents' income level, residents' consumption of mineral water and other beverage products has increased significantly. The total output of beverages was 10million tons in 1997 and 12million tons in 1998, an increase of 18.8%. The total output of beverages in 1999 was 14.5 million tons, an increase of 21%; The annual output of coal in Pingping mine is 2.3 million tons. In 2000, it is expected that the output of beverages will exceed 17 million tons, an increase of 20%. Due to the rise of beverage consumption, the demand for polyester bottles and chips has increased significantly. In addition, polyester bottle packaging has replaced metal cans and paper soft packaging to a certain extent, and the demand for polyester bottles and chips in Baijiu and edible oil packaging has also increased significantly. Therefore, the demand growth of polyester bottles and chips in 2001 will exceed 21%. In 1999, the demand for polyester bottle chips in China's beverage industry was about 400000 tons, increased to 500000 tons in 2000, and increased to more than 600000 tons in 2001. At present, China's total production capacity is only 420000 tons, with a gap of more than 180000 tons, accounting for 30% of the demand. In terms of the capacity of domestic bottle chips, the market is in short supply and the investment prospect is attractive

the operation of fiber grade polyester is at a loss, while the profit of bottle polyester is growing. In addition, the market potential of bottle polyester is huge. Therefore, polyester industry enterprises and beverage and alcohol enterprises are optimistic about the bottle polyester industry, and their willingness to invest has increased significantly

at present, the selling price of water bottle grade slice in the market is 10300 yuan/ton, the selling price of carbonated beverage bottle grade is 10600 yuan/ton, and the selling price of hot filling bottle grade is 10800 yuan/ton, while its breakeven price is between 7400 and 7500 yuan/ton, and the average profit space of each variety is 3000 yuan/ton. It can be described as a "bull" market. With the change of seasons, the consumption of beverages and purified water will increase significantly, and the demand for polyester bottle chips, its main packaging material, will also rise. The market of bottle chips will remain strong at this price for a long time

at present, the polyester bottle chip market is in short supply, and it is predicted that the demand will reach more than 600000 tons this year (excluding the part of replacing bottle chips with bright polyester chips). From the current situation of good bottle chip market and high profits, the polyester bottle chip production plant is basically full capacity production, considering that Shanghai Yuanfang nearly 70000 tons in May 2001; SSP with processing capacity has been put into operation, and it is estimated that the polyester part will be put into operation in the second half of the year. Now the purchased bottle blanks are processed for tackifying again. The 60000 ton bottle chips in Tunhe, Xinjiang are put into operation in June, and other projects are put into operation at the end of the year. Therefore, it can be predicted that the gap of polyester bottle chips in China's domestic market in 2001 is still more than 150000 tons, so the bottle chip market has become popular since 2000, The profitability of manufacturers is considerable

but at the same time, it should also be noted that there are a considerable number of bottle chip projects under construction and proposed, and the production capacity will double. It is an inevitable trend for the supply and demand of production capacity to reach a balance or oversupply. At that time, the bottle chip production enterprises will also be a small profit or loss operation, and fierce price war is inevitable. It is predicted that the domestic market demand for polyester bottle chips in 2002 is not expected to exceed 800000 tons. If the polyester technology for beer bottles cannot be greatly expanded, it will be very difficult for China's annual demand for polyester bottle chips to exceed 1million tons in 2003 (excluding the part of replacing bottle chips with bright polyester chips); At present, although the polyester technology for beer bottles has been industrialized in Britain, the price of polyester for beer bottles will be expensive due to technical confidentiality, so the use of polyester in beer bottles will not be popularized in recent years. In recent years, if the domestic projects under construction are put into operation as scheduled (including the 100000 ton reconstruction project of Yihua), the production capacity of polyester bottle chips will reach 1.16 million tons by the end of 2001. Regardless of the particles of cutting and abrasive wear, new production capacity will be put into operation in 2002, and the two types of equipment in the market, no matter which model, will be saturated. Therefore, it can be predicted that the oversupply of polyester bottle chip market is not far away, and the polyester bottle chip market will soon repeat the story of tight supply → expansion → balance → surplus, and eventually become a buyer's market, just like the fiber polyester market. This is not so much an opportunity for bottle chip investment as a risk

for investors, the bottle chip market has great temptation, but also many risks. Product quality will be a bargaining chip for bottle chip manufacturers to compete. Investors should be cautious and make a good positioning of product grade
