Review and Prospect: Unprecedented Chemical Structure Adjustment

In recent years, advancing industrial restructuring and promoting changes in economic growth patterns have been the central task of China’s economic reforms. The industrial restructuring has achieved remarkable results since the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but in the past two years, there has been a resurgence of the old extensive growth mode. The monthly situation report released by the National Bureau of Statistics in the first quarter of 2004 showed that the national fixed asset investment was 328.7 billion yuan from January to February, an increase of 53% over the same period of the previous year. In the manufacturing industry, investment in chemical raw materials and chemical products reached 9.7 billion yuan, an increase of 152.7 percent. In the first quarter of 2004, the outstanding problems in China's economic operation were: rapid growth in investment in fixed assets, blind investment in some industries and regions, and low-level redundant construction have not been effectively curbed, resulting in major raw materials, energy, transportation, etc. The 'bottleneck' constraint has intensified and the price pressure has increased. The above-mentioned problems have aroused the attention of governments at all levels and the majority of chemical companies. This has led to an unprecedented adjustment of the industrial structure. In January and June 2004, the National Development and Reform Commission raised the industrial electricity prices twice, with an average increase of 3 points per kilowatt-hour. If companies such as calcium carbide, caustic soda and other six high-energy-consuming industries do not meet the national industrial policy, they will increase their score by 2 points to 5 points per kilowatt-hour on the basis of a 3-point increase. At the same time, the cancellation of local self-promotion measures such as high-energy-consumption power consumption, preferential foreign capital introduction, and super-basic-level preferential pricing are eliminated. Raising the price of electricity twice in a year, the wide range of adjustments can be very rare in recent years. This move has imposed rigid constraints on companies that rely mainly on energy consumption as their economic growth model. On May 14, 2004, the state announced the "Catalogue of Current Sectoral Industries to Stop Low-Level Repeated Construction," which detailed the projects involving restrictions and prohibitions in many industries such as oil refining, sulfuric acid, yellow phosphorus, caustic soda, calcium carbide, and polyester. Provisions. On December 22, 2004, the National Development and Reform Commission issued three industry access regulations, including “conditions for accessing the calcium carbide industry” and “admission conditions for the coking industry,” which require new construction of the industry and the production facilities of the existing projects when they are undergoing reconstruction and expansion. Must meet the access conditions, and from the investment management, land supply, environmental assessment, credit financing and other aspects to limit, to curb the trend of low-level redundant construction and blind expansion. Traditional chemical product manufacturers have adjusted their corporate structure, achieved scale advantages and intensive production through asset mergers, mergers, acquisitions, transfer, reorganization, and other asset management methods in accordance with market rules, corporate advantages, and product relevance; through the development of deep processing and high technology The content products and structural adjustments to key products were upgraded, and a number of domestic blanks and import substitution products were developed. A number of products with low technological content and unreasonable raw material routes were reconstructed, and a large number of high energy consumption were eliminated. , serious pollution, no market prospects. In the field of agrochemicals, nitrogen fertilizer companies vigorously implemented energy conservation and localization of raw materials to increase market competitiveness. The proportions of phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer, high-concentration fertilizer, and compound fertilizer further increased, and new pesticide varieties continued to increase. High-toxicity, high-residue pesticides were produced. Compression, methamidophos and other five highly toxic species have already been started. Fertilizers and pesticide companies expand their industrial chain, develop integrated production from raw material extraction, production, and product marketing, achieve structural optimization, and make companies bigger and stronger. Petrochemical companies began to optimize the allocation of resources, and constantly adjust the product structure. In the context of the tight international oil supply in 2004, domestic companies are striving to increase production and stabilize the domestic market. At the same time, with the focus on upgrading the quality of gasoline and diesel, the quality of major oil products has been adjusted. After meeting the new standards for unleaded petrol and diesel fuel for the country, efforts are being made to upgrade the new quality. A large number of petrochemical plants that are designed to become bigger and stronger have been built or are under construction, and their production concentration has been improved through expansion and expansion. In recent years, a number of chemical parks have flourished, which has played an active role in demonstration, promotion, and radiation for the structural adjustment of the chemical industry. According to the state's opinions on the rectification of various types of development zones, on March 5, 2004, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association issued the "Guidelines for the Development of China's Chemical Parks" and strengthened the standardized management of China's chemical industry parks. The sound development of chemical parks, investment environment and professional auxiliary facilities have been further improved, attracting a group of foreign chemical companies to settle in the park, and most of the technologies and projects coming in are deep processing and fine chemical products with high technological content or high added value. At the same time, some old chemical companies in the country have also entered the park. They have adjusted their product mix and improved their core competitiveness by changing their raw material routes and using advanced technologies. All these have strongly promoted the adjustment of China's chemical industry structure. According to the statistics from the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, the actual investment in the chemical industry from January to October last year was 228.68 billion yuan, an increase of 39.5% over the previous year. From January to November, the output value of new products in the industry was 75 billion yuan, an increase of 27.5% over the previous year. In the production of enterprises, the product structure was further optimized. The ratio of diesel to diesel was 1.93, an increase of 0.14 percentage points over the same period of the previous year. In caustic soda production, the proportion of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda had reached 24.1%, which was higher than the same period of last year. 1.63 percentage points; the ratio of urea production to nitrogen fertilizer also reached 58.2%, an increase of 0.06 percentage points over the same period of last year; the proportion of pesticides in pesticides continued to decline, the proportion of fungicides and herbicides Ascended, compared with the same period of last year, the proportion of pesticides decreased by 6.13 percentage points, fungicides and herbicides increased by 1.36 and 2.01 percentage points, respectively; the proportion of radial tires in tire production was 43 .57%, an increase of 7.09 percentage points over the same period of last year.
