中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站12月19日巴塞罗那报道 由于美国产能扩张,全球聚乙烯(PE)市场在2019年已经处于供过于求的状态,2020年将面临更大的压力,因为更多的新产能将投入生产。 根据ICIS供需数据库,2019年全球将启动总计690万吨/年的聚乙烯产能。 到2020年将有830万吨/年的产能投入生产,中国和美国分别为480万吨/年和160万吨/年。 2019年,美国页岩气生产商从其新设施中出口的油量不断增加。 随着他们为实现这一目标而降价,一些地区出现了价格战,价格跌至2008年金融危机后的最低点。 美国以乙烷为基础的一体化聚乙烯生产商享有世界上一些最低的原料成本,因此有进一步降价的空间,并仍然保持盈利能力。 王磊 摘译自 ICIS 原文如下: Global PE faces even more new capacity in 2020, oversupply, poor margins Global polyethylene (PE) markets – already in oversupply during 2019 from US expansions – face further pressure in 2020 as even larger volumes of new capacity come onstream. During 2019, a total of 6.9m tonnes/year of PE capacity were due to start up around the world, according to the ICIS Supply & Demand database. In 2020, 8.3m tonnes/year are due onstream, led by 4.8m tonnes/year in China and 1.6m tonnes/year in the US. US shale-based producers have been exporting increasing volumes from their new facilities during 2019. With the key China market subject to tariffs of up to 30%, US companies have been seeking new markets or to increase share elsewhere in Asia, Africa and Europe. As they have cut prices to achieve this, a price war has developed in some areas, with values falling to levels not seen since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. US ethane-based integrated PE producers enjoy some of the lowest feedstock costs in the world so have scope to cut prices further and still maintain profitability. |
