Increased shutdown of plastic film equipment during the 2025 Spring Festival heralds industry upheaval!

In 2024, China's plastic film industry saw a new wave of capacity expansion. Despite the continuous increase in new production capacity, the growth rate of demand has never been able to match the supply, resulting in a predicament of low prices and thin profits in the entire market.


In 2024, China's plastic film industry saw a new wave of capacity expansion. Despite the continuous increase in new production capacity, the growth rate of demand has not been able to match the supply, resulting in a low-price, low-profit situation in the entire market. According to data from Zhuochuang Information, 10 new BOPP production lines, 23 new BOPET lines, 6 new BOPA lines, and 10 new CPP lines were added throughout the year, along with 32 new adhesive tape mother rolls. The industry's capacity growth rate was between 7% and 17%. While this has brought ample supply to the plastic film market, it may also lead to market shocks.

Especially in 2025, although new production plans for plastic film remain dense, the industry's expectations for new production are beginning to show a slowdown. This slowdown stems not only from changes in the market environment but also from factors such as rising costs and intensified industry competition. More importantly, with the approach of holidays such as the Spring Festival and National Day, the proportion of production enterprises shutting down for maintenance during these periods is likely to increase significantly, which will further affect the market's supply and demand balance and potentially impact prices and profits.

Against this backdrop, the plastic film industry urgently needs to adjust and seek new growth points and innovative directions to cope with increasingly fierce market competition. Enterprises should not only focus on capacity expansion but also pay more attention to changes in market demand and consumer preferences, and attach importance to product upgrades and structural adjustments to enhance their market competitiveness. Investors and senior executives undoubtedly pay close attention to the future development prospects of the industry, hoping to seize new opportunities and once again create industry brilliance.
