Pillar Industry Promote the Development of Plastics and Rubber Market

Tianjin has initially formed eight major advanced of the pillar industries, which are Aerospace, Petrochemical, Equipment Manufacturing, Electronics, Bio-pharmaceutical, New Energy and Materials, etc.  The six pillar industry groups in Beijing, which are Electronics, Automobile, Petrochemical, Equipment Manufacturing, Medicine, and City Industry.  Ferrous Metal Smelting and Pressing, Food and Beverage Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical Producing, Chemical Materials and Products, and Electrical Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing, are the five pillar industry in Hebei.  All the industry above has a close relationship with plastics and rubber.

Automobile-- Main Force of China's Market

With automobile comprehensive production capacity of a number of 230,000, Tianjin has become to the first place of mini-cars’ production.  More than 200 automotive manufacturers set in Tianjin, and the auto parts industry chains are gradually improved. 

After FAW and Toyota set up production bases in Tianjin, the supporting capacity of clustering of the automobile industry grows.  Up to now, the supporting foreign investment enterprises brought by Toyota are morn than 40, such as Denso, Tokai Physics and Chemistry, Asen, Fujitsu Ten, Stanley, Yazaki, Unif, South Korea's Hyundai Electronics, etc. and among these, the output of Fujitsu Ten is more than 1 billion yuan.  With FAW Xiali and Toyota assembly plant as the core, the formation of complete vehicles and parts are supporting the production chain. 

The rapid growth of the automotive industry in Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Liaoning, and Changchun, has become the energy for economic development in northern regions.  And the increase in automotive plastic applications provides a potential market for northern plastics and rubber industry.

Household Appliances—Spawned a Huge Market by Industrial Policy

Household appliances industry has become one of the most important pillar industries through years of development in Shandong.  A number of distinctive characteristics of industrial zones have formed in Qingdao, Yantai, Zibo, Jinan, Dezhou, etc. It’s predict that the sale proceeds of household appliances industry in Shandong will reach more than 275.6 billion yuan till 2011, an annual average increase of more than15%.As the pillar industry in Tianjin, Liaoning, Hebei, etc. the industry of household appliances form a complete industry chain among Bohai Economic Rim, and enlarge year by year.

Electronics—Leading the High-grade of China’s market

     Mobile communications, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and other areas in Bohai Economic Rim own good technology and manufacturing base.  In 2008, there were more than 90 million mobile phones produced in Tianjin, 16.1% of the production of China.  The production of electronic components was 216.99 million, rank the 1^st in China.  The production of digital cameras reached more than 10 million, 12.4% of that in China.  International enterprises and domestic first-class enterprises together make the high production capability and market concentration among the relevant industries in Tianjin.  With the advantages of industrial base and technology in Tianjin and Beijing, the market prospect is board. Nowadays, the electrics in Bohai Economic Rim forms a number of high value-added industries, such as automotive electronics, avionics, low-carbon energy-saving, medical electronics and video surveillance.

Medical Devices—The Rapid Development among the Industry

The bio-pharmaceutical industry in Bohai Economic Rim develops rapidly, which is fostered by the government in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning and Shandong.  Medical devices have developed rapidly in Shandong, and the demand of component parts owns an increase of 20%.  The Bioindustry’s sale proceeds in Hebei exceed 40 billion yuan.  Beijing has been identified as the State National Biological Industry Base.  With the Zhongguancun Life Science Park, Daxing Bio-Pharmaceutica Industry Base, Yizhuang " medicine-valley " as the core area, and gethered Beijing Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing Capital Biochip Co., Ltd.  Such kind of excellent research institutions and enterprises run the bioindustry into a stage of rapid development.

Rubber Products—The Main Part of World’s Production

The focus of the global rubber industry is moving towards Asia.  According to the data by IRSG, the first three quarters of the world’s rubber consumption last year was 15.771 million tons, fell 10.6% with last year; Output was 15.742 million tons, fell 10.1%.  Among the world’s top ten in rubber consumption, 6.011 million tons was consumed by China, 20.1% rise up, and accounted for 38% of the world, rank the 1^st place.  China's major production bases of rubber products are in Shandong and other places in Bohai Economic Rim.
