In 2007, the high price of oil was no longer the news. People gradually accepted the reality and began to look for a way out. In 2006, the renewable energy development boom continued. In 2007, biofuels suddenly took off; the Middle East still plays a key role in the global petrochemical industry. In the year of the large-scale petrochemical project construction, or in 2007, the company vigorously advanced into the midstream and downstream product areas. The Middle East has always affected the layout of the world's chemical industry. Under the new circumstances, countries in 2006 reconsidered the future development of the domestic chemical industry, and introduced long-term planning. In 2007, chemical companies transformed themselves and hoped to gain new living space through specialization and high-end lines; international calls for safety and environmental protection in the chemical industry were getting louder and louder, and relevant laws and regulations were increasingly strict; “sustainable development†and “environmental protectionâ€. It is still a hot vocabulary and has been put on the agenda; the increasingly stringent regulatory environment, especially the formal implementation of the EU REACH regulation, has shattered the illusions that trading companies once held, and placed high fees on registration and complex registrations in front of businesses. formalities.
The Middle East: Gorgeous Turning If the Middle East was only synonymous with cheap raw materials and primary processing products before 2006, then in the middle of 2007, the Middle East will present a magnificent turn to the world, successfully intervening in the midstream and downstream chemical products.
As the world’s largest base chemical production and export base, countries in the Middle East have always been worried about the future market.
According to statistics, the Middle East accounts for about 61% of the total global investment in ethylene projects. From 2012 to 2013, the Middle East will add 30 million tons/year of ethylene production capacity. With such huge production capacity, even with Asia, which has a high-growth market such as China and India, the market will not be able to consume after 2009. This will lead to a series of chain reactions - global supply and demand imbalances, declining petrochemical plant operating rates, and weak product prices, while petrochemical companies in the Middle East will be the biggest victims.
In order to solve the problem of the oversupply of products that will emerge, in 2007 Middle East countries and petrochemical producers started to adjust their development strategies, mainly including three major aspects:
Extending to the downstream industries and turning to diversified development. The interest of Middle Eastern producers is no longer limited to petrochemicals, but extends to diversified product areas such as propylene oxide and methyl methacrylate. Saudi Arabia began to focus on the development of ethylene and aromatics downstream businesses, while Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the UAE are mainly engaged in the development of olefins and derivatives and some aromatics businesses.
Building an application market in the Middle East will stimulate local consumption. Saudi Arabia is building the automotive and tire industry locally to promote the consumption of chemicals such as polyurethane and rubber. For this purpose, Saudi Yanbu Petrochemical and Jubail Petrochemical, a joint venture between Saudi Basic Industries Corporation and ExxonMobil Chemical, is conducting a feasibility study of the project and plans to supply the new local and international markets in Saudi Arabia starting from 2011. Carbon black, rubber and thermoplastic specialty polymer products. In order to attract more investors, countries in the Middle East also revise the regulations and allow foreign companies to have more control.
Go out and quickly establish market position through overseas acquisitions. Looking at overseas markets, acquiring petrochemical plants around the world and laying out globally has become the most direct and effective way for petrochemical companies in the Middle East to enter the midstream and downstream sectors. In 2007, the world’s most promising merger and acquisitions in the chemical industry belonged to this group – Saudi Basic Industries’ $11.6 billion purchase of GE Plastics. GE Plastics had annual global sales of 6.645 billion U.S. dollars in 2006. For the "eat up," such a giant, the comments of Saudi Basic Industries Co. deputy chairman and CEO Mohammad Almadi were straightforward: "We value the deal. It will bring us a new market and around 30,000 important customers around the world. This is one of the important steps for Saudi Basic Industries to continue to expand and achieve product diversification and eventually become the world’s leading chemical manufacturer.â€
Specialization: The choice of a life-or-death option The downward extension of the product chain of the Middle East producers makes the chemical product manufacturers in the middle and lower reaches feel tremendous pressure. On the one hand, Middle Eastern producers have inherent cost advantages and a strong capital background. Their involvement will inevitably threaten or even greatly reduce the existing market share of major companies. On the other hand, the rising oil prices and raw material costs make The original profit space of enterprises has been severely "shrinking." The survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest have seen many companies around the world, after looking at the new competitive environment, invariably choose the road to transformation.
In early 2007, Dow Chemical, the leader of the chemical industry, came out with the news that it wanted to find external capital to jointly run the polypropylene and polystyrene businesses. At the same time, it announced its decision to purchase the Bayer Wolff Walsrode business group. Since then, Dow Chemical has The new development strategy surfaced - on the one hand, a basic asset-light asset strategy was implemented, and on the other hand, high-performance businesses were strengthened to drive business growth. As one of the world’s most important producers of basic chemicals, Dow Chemical’s “professionalization of high-end†has become a major trend in the development of the industry.
Immediately after, other chemical companies also responded. AkzoNobel, a comprehensive chemical company with an annual income of 13.7 billion euros (2006 fiscal year), announced that it has specialized in the two major business areas of coatings and chemicals. For this purpose, in March 2007, AkzoNobel announced the sale to Schering-Plough. Its human and animal medicine businesses completely withdrew from the medical pharmaceutical business. In order to strengthen its business development, the company also acquired Imperial Chemical Industry Corporation (ICI) to take an important step in the strategic transformation of the company.
DSM Group also announced a major business restructuring initiative in 2007 - Accelerating the transition to life sciences (including nutritional raw materials and pharmaceutical intermediates) and materials science (high-performance materials) companies, which will be detached in the next 2 to 3 years The non-core business of EUR 1.5 billion (expected sales in 2007) mainly includes melamine, urea, fertilizer, energy, elastomers, special products, maleic anhydride and its derivatives, and citric acid business. At the same time, DSM will actively seek acquisitions in core business areas to achieve external growth.
Regardless of chemical giants such as Dow, or medium-sized companies such as AkzoNobel and DSM, their strategic reorganization can sum up some characteristics: First, specializing, highlighting their core competitiveness, and taking the road of specialization; followed by high , Choose high-value-added products and take the high-end line; the third is new and actively participate in emerging market competition.
Biofuels: forward in doubt In 2007, the "biological + chemical" model seemed to find a way out for many urgent problems: to cope with energy shortages, biofuels came into being, and blossomed everywhere; to ease environmental pressures, biological materials did not help; There are biocatalysts, biopharmaceuticals, and more
In biotechnology, biofuels have experienced the most rapid development in 2007. Many regions in the world have established biomass energy development goals: The European Union proposed in its 2007 “European Energy Policy†that by 2020 biofuel consumption will account for 10% of the total vehicle fuel consumption; At the beginning of the year in the State of the Union Address, it was stated that the development of alternative energy sources in the next 10 years will reduce automobile fuel consumption by 20%. By 2012, the total amount of renewable and alternative energy sources will reach 7.5 billion gallons; in August 2007, China announced that it Long-Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy, which sets production targets for fuel ethanol and biodiesel in 2010; Indonesia announced plans in February 2007 that biofuels account for about 10% of total energy.
The ambitions of various countries have made the fire of biofuels more and more prosperous, but with the gradual emergence of some problems, the voice of “pour water†has appeared.
Take the United States as an example. Under the premise that the infrastructure reform obstacles, mature industrialization technologies have not yet been formed, and sufficient raw materials have not been implemented, on the basis of the current annual output of 4 billion gallons of alternative energy sources, it will be able to close within 10 years. 10 times to 35 billion gallons? Maybe it's only lip service.
The United Nations also issued a report on biomass energy, warning of the negative impact of the development of the industry, pointed out that it may cause environmental and social problems, including the production of biofuels will affect the supply of sufficient food due to the occupation of land, a large number of water resources and chemical fertilizers, As a result, the prices of basic living goods have risen; biodiversity may be affected, resulting in the loss of nutrients in the soil and so on.
It is true that the development of biofuels is the trend of the times. However, this road is still a long one. Only those who have a long-term mentality of sustainable development and can move down to the ground with cautious caution can finally laugh.
Environmental Protection: Forever Focus With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, the topic of “environmental protection†has become even more eye-catching in 2007. For the government, it is no longer an accessory after GDP. For the media, it is not The superficial superficiality is also becoming more and more relevant to the public.
The most direct impetus for environmental protection is the stricter environmental regulations in various countries. The US paint and coating industry is promoting the introduction of new regulations that are more environmentally friendly. The EU’s extensive and far-reaching chemicals management regulation, REACH, entered into force in June 2007. In the field of environmental protection, it was China that attracted the attention of the world in 2007.
In 2007, China introduced a series of laws and regulations to promote environmental protection. At the beginning of July, the State Environmental Protection Administration began to restrict the approval of five industrial parks in six cities and two counties with serious water pollution and serious environmental violations in the four major river basins of the Yangtze, Yellow River, Huaihe and Haihe rivers; 32 heavily polluting enterprises within the basin and 6 Sewage treatment plants were supervised and listed. In September, the "Procedures for Examining Sewage Charge Collection Work" was adopted and implemented on December 1. In November, the State Environmental Protection "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" formulated by the State Environmental Protection Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, Taking pollution prevention as the priority, accelerating structural adjustment and increasing pollution control efforts; the implementation of the “Foreign Investment Industry Guidance Catalogue (Revised in 2007)†in December restricts foreign investment in industries with high pollution, high energy consumption, and low levels. Encourage investment in energy-saving and environmental protection industries to curb pollution at the source.
German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel pointed out that humans continue to manufacture carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, causing the global temperature to continue to rise, causing global warming, rising sea levels and other greenhouse effects. Environmental protection has become the world's most concerned topic and will certainly change the business world. In operation, more and more petrochemical companies are playing an environmental protection card. Looking ahead to 2008, only those companies that pay attention to the environment and establish a sustainable development model can stand the test of industry reshuffle in the fierce competition.
Chemical trade: More demanding environmental anti-dumping and countervailing are still common obstacles in the international trade field. In addition, the international trade field in 2007 has to start to face another challenge - EU Chemicals that came into effect in June 2007 Product management REACH regulations.
The implementation of this regulation may break the balance of existing international chemicals trade, and result in the redistribution of market and profit relations. Non-EU enterprises must not only consider the re-positioning of the relationship between the EU market and the importer, but also face the need to pay for adapting to the REACH regulation. Huge cost investment.
The main purpose of the EU REACH implementation is to strengthen the protection of human health and the environment, prevent chemical substances from causing harm, and secondly, to enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry and improve the integration of the EU's internal market. The promulgation of this regulation will have a positive significance for the global production and sales of chemicals in the long run, but it objectively sets a threshold for EU market access, as well as product production, supervision, and the company’s financial strength and access to information. The ability, level of negotiation and other aspects are tested, and those who do not have an advantage are unlikely to have the opportunity to share the big cake of the EU trade market.
In addition to the REACH regulations to challenge companies, looking at the global trade market, the most tested chemical trade in 2007 was China. In 2007, "Made in China" was pushed to the cusp, not only testing Chinese companies, but also testing China's product safety regulatory agencies.
Since July 1, 2007, the export tax rebate for 2,831 products in China has been adjusted, with chemical products bearing the brunt of it. About 380 tax-excluded chemical products have completely eliminated the export tax rebate, and there are more than 170 tax refunds for chemical products. Most of them have been reduced to 5%. Organic, inorganic, rubber and other industries will suffer from various degrees of impact. Since June 1, 2007, China has adjusted the tariff rates of certain goods on imports and exports, natural graphite, rare earth metals, antimony oxide, Ammonium metatungstate, molybdenum oxide and other products have imposed a certain percentage of export tariffs; starting from January 1, 2008, China will further adjust import and export tariffs.
Whether it is an international challenge or the regulation of the trade sector, it all embodies the requirements for safer, more environmentally friendly and lower energy consumption products. Future international trade will further test the long-term competitiveness of chemical companies in line with sustainable development. Enterprises that do not meet the requirements will certainly be eliminated.
