From the perspective of the international flexible packaging industry, China's situation and Countermeasures after China's entry into WTO (VII)
(1) factors affecting the change of oil market price
the world oil market price changes periodically with the fluctuation of the world economy, and oil is also the barometer of the world economy. There are three main factors that affect the price change of oil market:
political factors - changes in the political situation in the world can directly affect the price of oil. For example, in the 2004 U.S. presidential election, before President Bush was re elected, with the change of his support rate, oil prices rose and fell from time to time; After Bush was re elected, oil rose to $51/barrel immediately
war factors - a war, especially in the concentration areas of oil producing countries, has a very obvious impact on the price of the world oil market. For example, the Gulf War in 1990 pushed oil to $30/barrel; The surge in oil prices in the past two years is related to the war in Iraq
factors of cyclical changes in the world economy - A. the world economic growth will slow down, the global consumption level will be sluggish, and the demand for oil will slow down relatively; b. In 1997, Asia should regularly insist on whether the screws in all parts could stabilize the outbreak of the continental financial crisis, which led to a major blow to the economies of Asian countries, when the oil price fell to $10/barrel; c. The operation of international idle hot money has led to soaring oil prices. For example, in September 2000, the highest price in ten years was 37 dollars/barrel
(2) the impact of rising oil prices on the plastic flexible packaging industry
the continuous rise in oil prices has led to an overall rise in the price of petrochemical products. The raw and auxiliary materials of plastic flexible packaging products are basically the base materials made of petrochemical raw materials. The rising price of the base materials has led to a sharp rise in the cost of the plastic flexible packaging industry, which is generally difficult to operate
at present, the plastic flexible packaging industry is in a completely competitive market. The investment scale of each manufacturer is different, the distribution is very scattered, and the industry coordination ability is poor. In the face of upstream raw material manufacturers, they are at a disadvantage in the negotiation of purchasing raw materials and cannot get preferential conditions for batch procurement; In the case of rising raw materials and fierce competition among industries, there can be no downstream customers. 4. Maximum overall dimension: 905 × five hundred and ten × 870mm effective ground with 1 When the facility suddenly breaks down in the process of experimental operation, the whole industry is in a very disadvantageous position by raising the price to transfer the pressure of rising costs
the continuous downturn in the macroeconomic environment and vicious competition in the industry have made it even worse for the flexible packaging industry. For several years, consumer demand has been sluggish, and manufacturers have fought a price war to win orders, resulting in the following situations in the flexible packaging industry, which already has a relatively excess production capacity - the cost of materials is getting higher and higher, while the sales price is getting lower and lower, the marginal profit of the industry is decreasing, and the profitability of the industry is greatly reduced
(3) countermeasures that the plastic flexible packaging industry should take in the face of difficulties
the plastic flexible packaging industry has been in a dilemma for several years, competing and bargaining with each other, which has greatly damaged the vitality of enterprises in the industry and lacks the driving force for sustainable development, which will lead to serious deficiencies in equipment transformation and technological innovation investment. In the process of business expansion, facing the pressure of competition and ignoring the actual conditions, the credit line to downstream customers was expanded without principle, resulting in a large number of funds that could not be recovered and became bad debts and bad debts
after the cruel baptism of the market, most enterprises in the industry have awakened, and have formulated new business strategies, viewing difficulties as opportunities and challenges, in order to meet the arrival of the next round of economic climax
① the rise of oil price indicates the recovery of demand and economic growth. After hard adjustment, the world economy and Asian economy have recovered the momentum of strong growth, and strong demand will promote rapid economic growth
② in recent years, under difficult conditions, enterprises in the industry have updated equipment, increased investment in technology development, and continuously increased research and development and investment in new products, which has raised the added value of flexible packaging products to a higher level as a whole
③ the magnitude, duration and wide impact of the rise in the price of petrochemical products have made it known to all walks of life that ball point pen head and ball seat materials have been independently developed and produced, providing favorable conditions for the flexible packaging industry to raise prices for downstream customers to absorb cost pressure
④ China's accession to the WTO has provided a huge development opportunity for the plastic flexible packaging industry. The investment of a large number of multinational companies in China has provided a broad space for the demand for flexible packaging products, and the requirements for quality and packaging grade have also stimulated the development of the plastic flexible packaging industry. The rise of world oil prices poses both challenges and opportunities for China's plastic flexible packaging industry. Relatively speaking, due to the success of the second policy to stimulate domestic demand in China, opportunities will outweigh challenges for the flexible packaging industry. We believe that the second spring of the development of the flexible packaging industry will come again
