In 2024, in the face of multiple challenges such as the unfavorable impact of the external environment, the lack of domestic effective demand, and the difficulties arising from the conversion process of old and new energy sources, the plastics processing industry still continued to meet the new demands of consumers through continuous research and development of new processes, new materials, and new products, and the expected goal of economic growth for the year was successfully achieved.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2024, the national plastic products industry summary statistics enterprises completed the production of 77.076 million tons, an increase of 2.9% year on year.
Specifically, the output of each segment of plastic products, including plastic sheet, pipe and tube profiles, plastic wire and rope and woven products, plastic packing boxes and containers, plastic parts and other plastic products category was 48.595 million tons, accounting for 63%. The second largest is plastic film, with an output of 17.856 million tons, accounting for 23.2%, of which 816,000 tons were produced for agricultural film, up 5.5% year on year. In addition, the output of foam plastic increased by 1.0% year on year, the output of daily use plastic increased by 3.5% year on year, and the output of plastic artificial leather and synthetic leather increased by 1.0% year on year.

In terms of provinces and regions, the top ten provinces and regions in terms of national production of plastic products in 2024 contributed 81.6% of the national proportion of production, basically maintaining the same level. The top annual production is still the traditional provinces such as Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province, Hubei Province, Jiangsu Province, Fujian Province and Shandong Province, and the advantage is solid. Among them, Guangdong Province completed the annual output of 13.781 million tons, down 4% year on year, but still ranked first, accounting for 17.9% of the country; Zhejiang Province completed the annual output of 13.011 million tons, basically maintaining the same level as last year, accounting for 16.9% of the country.
From the point of view of China’s plastics processing equipment, production capacity is mainly concentrated in the eastern region, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces production accounted for more than 70% of the national output.2024, in the large-scale equipment renewal action plan and other measures, as well as the impact of export growth, the national production of plastics processing equipment has been improved, an increase of 5.3% year on year.
