The Chinese plastic industry is take the product processing, theapplication as a core, including the plastic synthetic resin, helpsthe medicinal preparation and the chemical additive, the plasticmachinery and a mold whole. Since more than 50 years have grown out ofnothing strongly, from infancy to maturity, from weakly tocontinuously continue healthily to develop. The synthetic resin, thesynthetic rubber and the synthetic fiber three big kind of syntheseshigh polymer material has become the commonly used matter which nowthe human survival and the multiplication cannot leave, with the steeland iron, the lumber, the cement constituted in the modern societytogether four big foundations material, supports one of modern hightech development important foundation materials, is the information,the energy, the industry, the agriculture, the transportation and eventhe space and the ocean development and so on the national economyvarious domains essential new material. The Chinese plastic originalauxiliary material production, the plastic processing equipment andthe technical overall level, the plastic product developmentdevelopment and the application depth and the breadth, all marchedinto the world great nation ranks. Since the reform and open policy,took one of national economy important industrial, the plasticindustry yearly average rate of rise always is higher than thenational economy overall rate of rise. Since has entered for the 21stcentury, the Chinese plastic industry has obtained the achievementwhich focuses attention on the common people, has realized historicalsurmounting, is playing the more and more major role in the Chinesemodernization economic development.
     In 2005 the Chinese plastic profession enterprise quantity surpassesmore than 65,000, above scale enterprise 11,726, the jobholders hasmore than 2.6 million people. The synthetic resin table viewconsumption quantity increases 2005 by 2001 28.537 million tons 38.348million tons, the yearly average rate of increment 7.7%; Five biggeneral resins table view consumption quantity increases 2005 by 200122.662 million tons 32.222 million tons, the yearly average grows9.2%; The plastic product completely state-owned and the product salereceives 5 million Yuan and above Africa has the independentcalculation industrial enterprise (to hereafter refer to as abovescale enterprise) the output to increase 2005 from 2001 11.853 milliontons 21.986 million tons, the yearly average grows 16.7%; The plasticproduct exportation increases in 2005 from 2001 5.358 million tons12.285 million tons, the yearly average grows 23.1%.
China is only inferior to US'S plastic produces the great nation,expends the great nation, the raw material imports the great nation,the product exports the great nation, but is not the comprehensivepowerful nation. Chinese average per person plastic consumptionquantity approximately 22kg, is only developed country 1/4~1/8, fallsbehind by far Japan's 80kg and US'S 170kg (in 2002 data). Compareswith the developed country, the Chinese plastic industry aggregatelevel also has the certain disparity, mainly displays in the centerlow-grade product many, upscale and the special necessary product arefew; The general technical product many, high-tech and the highattachment value product are few and so on. Therefore must unceasinglypromote the product attachment value, raises the profession overalllevel.

1 in light industry status
The Chinese plastic processing industry is in our countrylight industry one of development speed quicker professions.
According to the state statistical bureau data, in 2005 plasticproduct target and so on gross value of industrial output, salesvolume and profit total amount is situated in the light industry 19main professions third, the gross value of industrial output is499.799 billion Yuan, accounts for the GDP 18232100000000 Yuan 2.6%,accounts for the entire light industry profession total output value4780660000000 Yuan 10.5%, realization product sale rate 97.67%. In2005 the plastic product sale receives 484.691 billion Yuan, grew25.97% compared to same time last year; The realization profits andtaxes 32.507 billion Yuan, the same ratio grows 27.46%; The profittotal amount 20.632 billion Yuan, the same ratio grows 30.16%,accounts for the light industry profit total amount 211.521 billionYuan 9.75%.
2 local distributions
The plastic product profession equally displays "east strongwest weak", "south strong north is weak" the condition with thenational macroscopic economy. Economical developed Guangdong,Zhejiang, Jiangsu three provinces 2005 plastic product output equalsaccounts for 55.5% which the plastic product amounts to. May see fromchart 2, our country plastic product profession intensive degreehigher, moreover has the obvious region, its main producing areabasically all concentrates east our country the coast.

3 imports and exports
The Chinese plastic product continuously presented the highspeed growth situation in the recent years, but imported the growththen was lower than the exportation by far the growth, the exportationquantity far was bigger than the import quantity, the import quantitygrowth is lower than the import amount the growth. According to thecustoms statistics, in 2005 the national plastic product exportationtotal quantity 12.2848 million tons, grew 13.97% compared to the lastyear; Total export 16.604 billion US dollars, grew 30% compared to thelast year, accounted for the light industry total export 8.55%, wassituated light industry profession fifth. The plastic product importtotal quantity 1.7389 million tons, reduced 2.35% compared to the lastyear; Import total amount 8.29 billion US dollars, grew 17.26%compared to the last year, realization trade surplus 8.311 billion USdollars.
