Plastic refers to high molecular weight synthetic resin as the main component, adding appropriate additives, processed plastic materials. In daily life, the shadow of plastic can be seen everywhere, as small as plastic cups, plastic crisper boxes, plastic washbasins, plastic chairs and stools, and as large as cars, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and even airplanes and spaceships, plastic is inseparable.
According to the European Plastics Production Association, global plastic production in 2020, 2021 and 2022 will reach 367 million tons, 391 million tons and 400 million tons, respectively. The compound growth rate from 2010 to 2022 is 4.01%, and the growth trend is relatively flat.
China's plastics industry started late, after the founding of the People's Republic of China began to develop, but at that time, the variety of plastic processing products was limited, the factory location was clustered and the scale was small. Since 2011, China's economy has gradually shifted from the stage of high-speed development to the stage of high-quality development, and since then the plastics industry has also begun to upgrade its industrial structure and gradually shifted to a high-level level. By 2015, the total output of China's plastic processing industry reached 75.61 million tons. In 2020, China's plastic production has declined, but the overall profit and trade surplus of the industry still show positive growth.
According to the data of the European Plastics Production Association, in 2022, China's plastic production accounted for about 32% of the world's plastic production, and it has grown into the world's first plastic producer.
In recent years, the global plastics industry has developed steadily. Although people's increasing awareness of environmental protection and restrictive regulations issued by various government departments have had a certain impact on the traditional plastics industry to a certain extent, it has also forced enterprises in the industry to accelerate the research and development and industrial application process of environmentally friendly plastics, which is conducive to the optimization of industrial structure in the long run. In the future, the environmental friendliness of manufacturing processes and products, the further improvement of product performance and the diversification of product applications are expected to become the general trend of the development of the plastics industry.

The daily plastic products industry is an important branch of the plastic industry, which is closely related to People's Daily life and belongs to the production industry of daily necessities. The consumption of plastic products is related to the economic development of the region, and the consumption of developed countries such as the United States and Europe is higher. Due to the influence of living habits and consumption concepts, food and beverage in the United States is mainly fast food, and tableware is also mainly disposable, so the annual consumption of daily plastic products is huge. In recent years, with the rapid economic growth of emerging countries such as China and Southeast Asia, the pace of people's life has accelerated, and the change of consumption awareness, the growth space of daily plastic products will be further expanded.
From 2010 to 2022, the output of daily plastic products in China remained relatively stable, with higher output in 2010 and 2022, and lower output in 2023. The introduction of plastic restrictions around the country has affected the production of daily plastic products to a certain extent, prompting manufacturers to turn to biodegradable plastic products. The plastic limit policy has optimized the internal structure of the industry, eliminated backward production capacity, and further improved the industry concentration, which is conducive to the research and development of biodegradable plastic products by large manufacturers, and also convenient for unified national supervision.
With the general improvement of people's living standards, higher requirements will be put forward for daily plastic products, including performance, safety and environmental protection. In recent years, the pace of life of Chinese residents has accelerated and the level of improvement, fast food, tea and other industries have expanded rapidly, and the demand for plastic tableware and other daily plastic products is also rising. In addition, large restaurants, tea shops, etc. have higher requirements for tableware, and only larger manufacturers can meet their quality requirements. In the foreseeable future, the resources in the industry will be further integrated, and the industry concentration will be further improved. On the other hand, with the national "One Belt, One Road" policy to open up emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, China's daily plastic products production will usher in a new growth point, and the scale of exports will also increase.
