The market demand for polycarbonate boards generally maintains a growth trend, and the industry has a good development environment

Polycarbonate board (PC board) is a thermoplastic engineering plastic made of polycarbonate polymer as raw material, using advanced formula and the latest extrusion technology. It has high transparency, strong impact resistance, good stability and heat resistance. It has the characteristics of excellent resistance and flame retardancy.

The upstream of the polycarbonate board industry chain is the supply of chemical raw materials and production equipment such as bisphenol A, polycarbonate, and diphenyl carbonate; the midstream is the production of segmented products, including PC endurance boards, PC sun panels, and PC lighting tiles. , PC corrugated tiles, etc.; downstream are widely used in construction, medical, aviation, automobile, electronics and other fields.

According to the“China Polycarbonate Board (PC Board) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center shows that polycarbonate boards have excellent performance and are one of the most ideal lighting materials in the construction and decoration industries. As my country’s economy continues to develop, infrastructure continues to improve, construction area increases year by year, and the number of commercial buildings continues to grow, my country’s polycarbonate board market demand has generally maintained a growth trend in recent years. In 2018, my country’s demand for polycarbonate boards was approximately 360,000 tons, and the demand will increase to approximately 490,000 tons in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8% from 2018 to 2022.

Driven by market demand, my country’s polycarbonate board production scale continues to expand, output generally shows a growth trend, and market supply and demand maintain a basic balance. In 2022, my country’s polycarbonate board production will be approximately 500,000 tons.

In recent years, the state has introduced a number of policies to encourage and support the development of the green building industry. In June 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the “Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in Urban and Rural Construction Sector” proposing to continue to carry out green building creation actions. By 2025, new urban buildings will fully implement green building standards, and the infrastructure will be systematic and intelligent. Environmentally friendly, ecologically green construction and stable operation can effectively reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As a building material with energy saving, environmental protection and other characteristics, polycarbonate boards are in line with the green development trend of the construction industry and have a good development environment.

Due to the low requirements for equipment and technology in polycarbonate board production, there are currently a large number of domestic production companies. The industry has a large number of small and medium-sized production companies, uneven product quality, serious homogeneity, and fierce price competition. Phenomenon. At present, the main domestic polycarbonate board manufacturers include Shanghai Gongmai New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Hongbo New Material Group Co., Ltd., Wuxi Jishida Board Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that as the scale of my country’s manufacturing industry continues to expand, the automotive, electronic and electrical, aerospace and other industries continue to develop. The application scope of carbonate boards will continue to expand, and it has a broad consumer market. As the polycarbonate board industry structure continues to be optimized and market competition continues to intensify, production companies with weak R&D capabilities and backward production capacity will gradually be eliminated by the market, and the voice of large companies with advantages in price, scale, technology, etc. will be further enhanced.
