Since last year, the international oil price has fluctuated and fluctuated. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, China's petrochemical industry has faced various challenges and difficulties, overcame many uncertain factors, and ensured that the economic operation of the whole industry is generally stable and good.
In 2018, the revenue of the petrochemical industry was 12.4 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.6%. The total profit was 839.38 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.1%. Among them, the output of synthetic plastics reached 85.827 million tons, an increase of 4.2%. The sales revenue was 920.526 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%. The overall plastics industry was also stable.

The synthetic materials industry continued to maintain a growth rate of 6%. The apparent consumption of synthetic plastics was 38.565 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.9%.
The uncertainty of the external economic environment has further deepened, and the prices of commodities such as crude oil have fallen sharply, and the downward pressure on the industry has continued to grow. The safety and environmental protection policies are becoming more and more strict, the differentiation trend of market enterprises is obvious, the difficulty of technological innovation is increasing, the industry transformation and upgrading are in urgent need of breakthroughs, and other deep-seated contradictions and problems affecting the sustainable development of the industry are becoming more and more severe in front of us. .
At this important moment of the transformation and upgrading of this industry, the current economic situation and the industry situation have cut an important shortcoming that is lacking in the high-quality development of the industry. Because high-quality growth is not in which industry or which enterprise can do it alone, it requires high-quality growth of the whole industry chain and the whole industry system. It requires upstream and downstream, production, education, and finance, futures, technology, education, etc. The industry is progressing all the time, working together and requiring long-term integration.
