China Education Equipment Purchasing News: "China's production is the leader, India's strength is rising, and international giants are being acquired. This series of new changes has made the Chinese dye industry face a new competitive landscape." Shi Xianping, vice president of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute In an interview with reporters about the development direction of China's dye industry, Zhou pointed out that following Zhejiang Longsheng's acquisition of German DyStar and BASF's acquisition of Ciba, the market structure of the three giants DyStar, Ciba and Clariant was broken. It is replaced by a new situation in which China, India, and European and American multinational corporations stand out. He believes that while the status of China's dye industry continues to be stable, it is also facing changes in environmental protection policies and changes in the industrial chain. Therefore, it is necessary to seize the opportunity to accelerate the completion of the transformation from a large dyeing pigment country to a powerful country.
Tighter environmental standards become a new driving force for research and development
The current implementation of EU REACH regulations, various eco-labels, increasingly stringent emission standards and other domestic and international environmental regulations will raise the threshold of the dyeing and pigment industry, and will prompt a new round of shuffling in the industry. "The implementation of a series of policies and regulations has increased the company's R & D and operating costs, and even caused the disappearance of many small varieties." Shi Xianping said, environmental regulations are gradually becoming a new driving force for industry reshuffle.
INTERTEK Tianxiang Group China Project Director Wang Zheng told reporters that currently the first registration deadline for REACH regulations has passed 6 months, and only a few domestic enterprises have met the registration requirements before the current deadline. He reminded enterprises in the industry that the second deadline of the REACH regulation is close at hand. All chemicals with an annual output or imported tonnage of 100-1000 tons must be registered before May 31, 2013, otherwise they will be rejected by the EU market. . For most manufacturing companies, completing REACH registration is a huge challenge. It needs to accumulate and learn from many aspects of experience, including data analysis, chemical safety assessment, registration file system and submission and other related matters.
Extend the industrial chain by technological content
In response to the high price of crude oil, which puts pressure on enterprises, experts pointed out that with the rapid development of coal chemical industry in China, the cost of raw materials is expected to decline, especially the domestic tar benzene hydrogenation, coal tar processing and other equipment capacity has grown faster, p-benzene, naphthalene and anthracene The price increase of quinones and other raw materials has a certain inhibitory effect.
The downstream varieties show great changes, mainly in terms of technical content. Shi Xianping pointed out that in the ink field, more and more companies are beginning to use vegetable oil instead of mineral oil to reduce organic volatiles, and the requirements for colorants such as fastness, particle fineness and liquid stability are also getting higher; In the field of cosmetics, pearlescent pigments will be used more to strengthen the effect, and the amount of inorganic pigments will be less and less; in the field of coatings, water-based coatings, radiation-curing coatings and powder coatings are developing rapidly, and the demand is increasing; in the field of plastics, The requirements for eco-friendly packaging materials are increasing.
Seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages, seizing opportunities from big to strong
Experts suggest that changes in the competitive landscape, environmental protection regulations and industrial chains provide opportunities for China's dye industry to seek advantages and avoid harm. Shi Xianping said: "Transnational corporations’ competition and shift of development focus will make China ’s dyeing and pigment industry lose its catch-up direction within a certain period of time, and provide an opportunity for China ’s dyeing and pigment industry to become stronger and stronger. China ’s dyeing and pigment industry must seize the opportunity to occupy Their exit positions, such as joint ventures, acquisitions, talents, etc. "
Zhang Shuihe, director of the Organic Pigment Branch of the China Dyestuff Association, suggested that companies should not blindly expand projects, but should focus on sustainable development, especially to strengthen environmental protection and "three wastes" governance. Some experts suggested that we should pay attention to the dynamics of multinational companies and actively cooperate to make up for the shortcomings of our own dye post-processing technology. In addition, qualified enterprises can develop products used in non-traditional fields and open up new application areas.
