Global demand for BOPA films shows a growing trend, with China being the main production and consumer country

BOPA film is also called biaxially oriented nylon film. Due to its good toughness, strength, acid and alkali resistance, wide temperature adaptability, and good air barrier properties, it is currently used in medicine, daily chemicals, food, lithium, etc. Batteries and many other fields. At present, BOPA films are mainly used in the food field, accounting for more than 70%, followed by daily chemical products, accounting for about 19%. The proportions in other fields are currently small, and there are broad development opportunities in the future.

The application of BOPA film in food can maintain the properties of food ingredients and extend the freshness of food, and the application demand is high. Benefiting from the development of terminal industries, global BOPA film production capacity continues to rise, from 300,000 tons in 2016 to about 460,000 tons in 2019. However, affected by the epidemic in 2020, global BOPA film production capacity has shrunk slightly, to about 440,000 tons.

The current global BOPA film production capacity is mainly concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, and the Asia-Pacific region represented by China accounts for more than 85% of the production capacity. In 2020, the BOPA film production capacity in the Asia-Pacific region will reach 390,000 tons. With the continuous improvement of BOPA film production capacity and the growth of market demand, global BOPA film production has also shown a growth trend. In 2020, global BOPA film production will be approximately 390,000 tons.

According to the released “Global BOPA Market Research Report 2021”, BOPA films have a wide range of applications. In the past five years, global BOPA The film market demand continues to grow, reaching approximately 390,000 tons in 2020. In terms of demand distribution, China is currently the world’s largest BOPA film application market, accounting for 46%.

my country’s BOPA film production capacity is relatively high, approximately 250,000 tons in 2020, and its capacity utilization rate is relatively high, with output in 2020 approximately 210,000 tons. With the rapid development of the prefabricated dishes and new energy automobile industries, the domestic BOPA film market demand is rising, reaching approximately 180,000 tons in 2020. In the future, as high-end packaging and consumption levels increase, my country’s BOPA film market demand will continue to grow and is expected to reach 310,000 tons by 2025.

At present, my country’s BOPA film production technology is relatively mature and can meet the needs of large-scale industrial development. The main production companies include Hyosung Film, Fosu Dongfang, Ningbo Jinrui, Xiamen Changsu, Shanghai Zidong and other companies. Among them, Xiamen Changsu is the largest in the country production enterprise with an annual production capacity of more than 90,000 tons.

Industry analysts said that BOPA films have good performance and a wide range of applications, benefiting from the development of emerging industries such as prepared dishes and new energy vehicles. , the global and Chinese BOPA film market demand is rising. Globally, my country is the main BOPA film production and consumption country, with relatively high production capacity and output. At present, my country’s BOPA film market is in a state of overcapacity. However, because the domestic government has issued policies to encourage the export of BOPA films, the domestic BOPA film industry has a high capacity utilization rate.
