2014年2月，虽然经济增长放缓给轻工行业带来不利影响，但行业仍然在大力拓展国内外消费市场，积极推进产业转型升级的基础上，总体保持平稳运行。与此同时，轻工行业进出口额整体保持稳定，行业经济运行质量总体有所改善，但细分行业差异化明显。 行业未来发展在保持行业稳定增长的前提下，将集中在产业结构优化上，而消费升级、城镇化进程加快、社会消费水平的提升则给行业发展提供了稳固的需求基础，预计2014年轻工行业规模以上企业产品销售收入将达到23万亿元，同比增长14%左右。

分析了我国丁苯橡胶的供需现状及发展前景，根据存在的问题，提出了今后的发展建议。

今年1-2 月份，受季节性因素影响，主要宏观经济指标普遍不理想。工业增加值增速受投资需求和净出口回落影响大幅回落，固定资产投资增速受基建和制造业投资放缓影响继续下滑，社会消费品零售总额名义增速低于预期。此外，制造业PMI 指数连续三个月回落，新订单指数回落至低位，产成品库存指数上升，显示一季度经济运行平缓。具体到生产资料流通行业来看，今年春节临近1 月末，市场多数商家在1 月中旬就进入放假状态，到2 月中旬才陆续返岗。因此，1-2月份需求相对偏弱，库存消耗速度下降，市场价格大幅下跌，企业效益仍未有明显好转。目前经济运行的积极因素正在开始显现，如进入3 月份，市场逐渐启动，企业陆续恢复开工；服务业已经出现明显回升；世界经济整体发展势头良好，后期经济运行保持平稳仍有基础条件。
