Packaging is a relevant aspect for products catering to a specific and/or wide range of markets. The packaging of a product is no longer associated with just protecting the product from an exterior negative condition that could cause loss or damage. Over the last two decades, packaging has evolved significantly with almost all brands tending to utilize packaging as an aggressive marketing tool to convey their message to customers. Considering the relevant characteristic features of packaging, the need for sacks that can cater to the requisite purposes becomes essential. One such relevant market for sacks used in packaging is the Global Industrial Sacks Market.

The value chain of farm tires market is characterized by the presence of raw material manufacturers/suppliers, tire manufacturers, suppliers/distributors, and end users. The major raw material used in tire manufacturing is rubber – natural as well as synthetic. Liquid latex is mixed with acids which causes the raw rubber to solidify. Other raw materials involved in manufacturing tires include carbon black, which is obtained from crude oil or natural gas; sulfur; and several other chemicals. Rubber and carbon black providers form the first stage of the value chain. Rubber suppliers are mainly companies involved in the production of tire and other rubber products. Some of these raw material suppliers include Sinopec Corporation, SIBUR, JSR Corporation, and Cabot Corporation. Suppliers sign long-term contracts with those involved in the manufacturing of tires to ensure constant demand while tire manufacturers sign long-term contracts with raw materials suppliers to ensure a constant supply.

Plastic film is used more widely as flexible packaging. By the process of its production, the plastic film products could be divided into three types - plastic film produced through the process of blown film, plastic film produced through the process of cast film/sheet and plastic film which is produced through the process of oriented polypropylene (OPP) or biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film and PET film. While plastic film which is produced through the process of blown film include PE (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) film. Currently, there are five producers of plastic BOPP film operating in Indonesia with a total production capacity of 310,500 tons per year; and six producers of BOPET film with a total production capacity of 106.000 tons per year. The business competition in BOPP film as well as in BOPET film industry is toght in the country.

补贴退坡环境下，市场对锂电设备行业的疑虑：在政策支持与财政补贴下，我国新能源汽车销量由2011 年的8159 辆增加到2017 年的77.7 万辆，六年的CAGR 高达114%。动力电池作为新能源汽车的核心部件，出货量由2012 年的1.2GWh 增加到2017 年的44.5GWh，锂电供应商和锂电设备商纷纷受益。站在当前的时间点，市场对于锂电设备行业的持续性发展有以下几点疑虑：(1)补贴退坡后新能源汽车的行业景气度是否能得到延续？(2)补贴退坡与锂电池价格下降的压力向锂电设备商环节传导，是否会影响锂电设备商的利润及现金流？(3)锂电行业产能过剩，设备商的成长持续性从何而来？

In the second quarter of 2018 the revenue of China’s rubber products sector contracted by 24.7% y/y to RMB 220.3bn, as a result of the decline in production and sales volumes. In this period, the sales revenue of the largest subsector – tyres – shrank by 26.5% y/y to RMB 119.4bn. The respective revenues of the second and third largest subsectors - rubber plate, hose & belting, and rubber accessories - went down by 21.4% y/y and 22% y/y, totalling RMB 29.3bn and RMB 19.8bn.

Global plastics volume was estimated at 281,047.96 kilotons in 2016. Over the past, there has been considerable demand for plastics as replacement for metals and alloys across various industries such as automotive, industrial machinery and consumer goods. The industry’s criticality lies on technology, since ever-increasing requirement of end-user in terms of product specification and versatility gradually tend to overshadow consumption dynamics. Other factors such as feedstock availability, production process and socio-political events have a significant impact on industry trends.

The styrene butadiene rubber market has been segmented based on three parameters, namely product, application, and region. Based on the product, the market has been segmented into ESBR and S-SBR. Based on the application, the market has been segmented into tire, footwear, polymer modification, adhesive, and others. Based on region, the market has been the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of World.

The polyimide films market accounted for USD 1,149.3 million in 2016, and it is projected to gain higher market share over the forecast period. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% by revenue owing to the growing application scope of PI films. Development in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and labeling industry is augmenting the product demand.

过去几年国内合成橡胶能力增速大幅减缓，需求回升，装置利用率不断提高。但进口量也在持续回升，供应过剩与大量进口之间的结构矛盾仍较突出。2017 年橡胶及原料价格大幅上涨，合成橡胶盈利能力略有好转。2018年汽车增长乏力拖累橡胶需求，供应快速增加，合成橡胶行业利润水平不及上年。从近年发展趋势看，东南亚已成为全球合成橡胶高端品种新的生产地区，中东、俄罗斯也在加快合成橡胶产能布局，中国未来合成橡胶生产成本有望大幅降低；从需求趋势看，合成橡胶正向高端化、定制化方向发展，同时热塑性弹性体对部分传统硫化橡胶的替代也成为发展趋势。
