Analysis of China’s Soda Ash Production Data in 2012
Thread Content
Analysis of China’s soda ash production data in 2012 comes from: Monitoring data from China Chemical Industry Network shows that in 2012, the country's output reached 24.039 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.64%. In December, my country produced 2.0156 million tons of soda ash (sodium carbonate), a year-on-year increase of 10.39%. Judging from the output of various provinces and cities, the output of soda ash (sodium carbonate) in Shandong Province reached 4.089 million tons in 2012, accounting for 17.01% of the country's total output. Followed by Jiangsu Province, Henan Province and Hebei Province, accounting for 14.07%, 12.27% and 10.81% of the total output respectively. By the end of 2012, my country's soda ash production capacity reached 28-30 million tons, but the actual market demand was only more than 20 million tons, and the overcapacity situation was very serious.
“By the end of 2012, my country's soda ash production capacity reached 28-30 million tons, but the actual market demand was only more than 20 million tons, and the overcapacity situation was very serious. ”With such overcapacity, where is the macroeconomic control? !
There are two ways to digest excess production capacity:: First, through the laws of the market, the fittest will survive, and some will cease production and some will go bankrupt. ； The second is digestion through expanded uses, such as the invention of products that consume soda ash, or the rapid and large-scale consumption of products that consume soda ash.
1. Market laws, in China, a non-market economy area, often do not fully apply.； 2. Expanding the use of digestion may be valuable, but it is far away. ； 3. To truly and effectively eliminate production capacity, it should be above the pressure of environmental protection. Let’s discuss it with the person above.
The environmental pressure of soda ash is not great. It is just that the alkali residue is on land and can be seen by people at a glance. The wastewater from other industries is discharged underground and cannot be seen in the atmosphere. That is the most terrifying thing.
