What is the supply of the main raw materials for BOPP thermal synthetic paper?

The main raw material of BOPP (Bidirectional polypropylene) thermal synthetic paper is polypropylene (PP), and its supply can be analyzed from the following aspects:

First, polypropylene capacity and output

As the direct raw material of BOPP film, the supply of polypropylene has a direct impact on the production of BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper. In recent years, China's polypropylene production capacity has continued to expand, and the output has been growing. For example, according to the data released by Zhiyan Consulting, China's polypropylene production in 2021 is 28.6 million tons, an increase of 11.98%; From January to November 2022, China's polypropylene production was 26.68 million tons. This indicates that the supply base of polypropylene is solid and can meet the production needs of a variety of products, including BOPP thermal synthetic paper.

Second, import and export of raw materials

In terms of international trade in polypropylene, although China's polypropylene production capacity continues to increase, there may still be external dependence in certain periods and certain specific products. However, with the release of domestic polypropylene production capacity, the external dependence has gradually decreased, the import volume has decreased, and the export volume has increased. This trend is conducive to ensuring the stable supply of raw materials for BOPP thermal synthetic paper production in China.

Third, BOPP film industry development

The development of the BOPP film industry also reflects the supply of raw materials such as polypropylene. In recent years, China's BOPP film industry has maintained steady growth, with both production and demand rising. At the same time, with the progress of technology and market changes, functional BOPP films have gradually become the focus of industry development. This trend is driving raw material suppliers such as polypropylene to continuously improve product quality and performance to meet the special raw material needs of the BOPP film industry.

Fourth, stability of raw material supply chain

For manufacturers of BOPP thermal synthetic paper, the stability of the raw material supply chain is crucial. In order to ensure a stable supply of raw materials, these companies usually establish long-term cooperative relationships with polypropylene suppliers and purchase raw materials through a variety of channels to reduce risks. In addition, with the development of digital and intelligent technologies, the management of the raw material supply chain has become more efficient and transparent, helping to further improve the stability of the supply chain.

In summary, the supply of polypropylene, the main raw material of BOPP thermal synthetic paper, is good, and the production capacity and output have maintained stable growth. At the same time, with the changes in the international trade situation and the release of domestic polypropylene production capacity, the stability of raw material supply is also constantly improving. However, for production companies, it is still necessary to pay close attention to market dynamics and technological trends to ensure the stability and sustainability of the raw material supply chain.
