The environmental pressure also affects the downstream industrial products industry. From the chemical product industry chain, the upstream products pushed up the cost at the same time, the downstream products and the emergence of production potential, making in the chemical industry “in the middle have enemies in front and rear”.

As of October this year, the main industrial products released by the National Bureau of statistics, plastics, rubber, fiber is the main downstream products of these 10 kinds of chemical products, most products production decline or slowdown in the rise trend.

In twenty-first Century the Institute of economic research data found that since the second half of the year, plastic, primary form of plastics production growth is slowing down. The first half of the former production has remained at around 10% growth in September was negative growth of 2.6%; more than 5% of the growth in the first half production to maintain the latter, the negative growth in October 0.3%. The main raw materials are polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride.

The demand side does not lead to price increases the vibration or chemical products is not sustainable, and lower demand for butadiene rubber and soda to rally more exuberant period. At the end of 11, the price of these two products to achieve 108.74%, growth of 81.75%, far more than other product price increases, in addition to the cost factor pushing up, the demand side is also strong support of the main cause of rising prices.

With the br as an example, the downstream products of synthetic rubber and rubber tire production in the second half of the year of rapid growth, the highest in July rose 20.1% in October, also achieved 13.2% growth. Rubber tire tire production is maintained at around 10% growth in the second half of the year.

The downstream demand is more extensive caustic soda, light industry, textile, medicine, involving metallurgy, petroleum industry, rare earth and other industries, including the recent price hikes of the papermaking industry is an important industry. Strong demand for downstream industries makes pulling the caustic soda market steadily rising momentum, not only the price continued to rise, from the beginning of January 499.8 yuan / ton up to the beginning of November 955.4 yuan / ton, rose more than 80%.

In twenty-first Century, the Economic Research Institute believes that overall, this wave of rising prices of chemical products is the passive rise led to rising costs, environmental pressures, macro-control and the fluctuation of the international market.

In the chemical industry chain, many chemical products itself many links, although the upper reaches of the primary chemical raw material prices, but still need to digest cost pressure in the chemical industry. The domestic and international market demand sluggish, industry profit differentiation serious, shows that the price is not the fundamental economic recovery spawned by the cost push up prices in future or not sustainable.
