In recent years, amidst the changes in the international landscape, the chemical fiber industry has changed from the “cyclical wheel” in the past to the “industrial chain theory”, “differentiated product theory” and “functional product theory”. Some companies have gone global. Complete the product closed loop of the group’s chemical fiber business abroad.
At present, the six polyester giants Tongkun, Xinfengming, Rongsheng, Hengli, Hengyi and Shenghong have formed two types of development tracks. One type focuses on developing the upstream refining and chemical layout, vigorously develops refining and chemical integration projects, and improves its own industrial structure; the other type focuses on the polyester industry and sticks to the main business to become refined and stronger.
Looking at today’s textile and chemical fiber industry chain, the leading position in the industry chain has been highlighted. In the first year of this year’s “14th Five-Year Plan”, with the completion of the layout of leading enterprises, chemical fiber enterprises, especially the chemical fiber enterprises ranked among the top 500 in China, have begun to plan for a new round of development. These development directions to a certain extent The Internet can best reflect the layout of the industry. How can companies grasp change and stability and turn crisis into vitality? We might as well get a glimpse of the big moves made by eight powerful companies since the beginning of the year.
