In the first half of the year, Dezhou Shihua produced 200,000 tons of ginger bell process, and Hebei Cangzhou Julong Chemical 400,000 tons of ethylene process was put into production at the end of June. Looking forward to the second half of the year, Shandong Gulf Chemical 200,000 tons, Guangxi Qinzhou 400,000 tons will be put into production, and Xinfa 400,000 tons before the end of the year is still waiting.  Shaanxi Jintai 600,000 tons expected to delay next year’s mass production.

Real estate new construction data and financing data, year-on-year decline, especially in July, the typical housing enterprise financing for four consecutive months, it is difficult to support the second half of the real estate new construction data brought by the new demand.  To some extent, the domestic policy on the insurance exchange building will be favorable to the recovery of gold market demand in September. Considering the slowdown of global economic growth, the United Nations also released the latest “World Economic Situation and Outlook in 2022″ at the end of June, and it is estimated that the global economic growth rate is only 3.1% this year;  Plastic products will be affected in both domestic and international export markets.
