Cheng Guowen, general manager of Tiantian Chemical Network, welcomed the guests and published gave the opening speech. According to Mr. Cheng,According to Tiantian Chemical Network’s long-term monitoring and research analysis of the global polyurethane industry chain, the global polyurethane production will be around 32.6 million tons in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 4-5%; of which China’s polyurethane production will be 15 million tons. tons, accounting for 46% of global production. From the perspective of the global polyurethane industry as a whole, the current downstream demand is very bleak. With the global overcapacity of polyurethane, complex international environment, energy, natural climate, and continuous normalization of epidemic prevention and control and many other problems, global polyurethane materials will also face huge opportunities and challenges in the future. “At this difficult time, only cooperation creates opportunities and communication generates value. Through this forum platform, we believe that we will be able to enhance consensus and form a joint force to introduce global polyurethane innovation technologies to China and achieve industrialization at the same time It will also promote the rapid development of China’s technology industry experience to the world, and jointly promote the development of the global polyurethane industry.” Mr. Cheng said.
