海合会今年塑料加工工业预计增长超过3%

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体12月5日迪拜报道，一份报告说，海湾合作委员会（海合会）的塑料加工工业预计在今年年底前增长超过3%，而聚合物总需求量估计不到500万吨。

　　与中东地区其他国家相比，海合会成员国没有受到叙利亚危机的严重影响。与此同时，自由贸易和投资激励措施使得基础设施大幅增加，而日益增长的服务行业对经济做出了更多的贡献，从而抵消了低油价的影响。

　　由顶级商业情报公司Applied Market Information日前发表的题为“海合会2017年塑料加工工业”的报告说，沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋占这个地区所加工塑料产量的83%，满足了这个地区对商品聚合物的高需求。同时，工程聚合物的需求依然很低，不到该地区聚合物总需求量的1%。

　　报告说，即使较小的国家巴林、科威特、阿曼和卡塔尔也显示出增长和潜力。尤其是，即将在卡塔尔举行的2022年世界杯以及即将在迪拜举行的2020年世博会已创造了许多有益于塑料工业的重大建设项目。

　　GCC plastic processing to grow 3pc this year

　　TABNinfo.com/December 05, 2016/Dubai

　　The plastics processing industry in the GCC is expected to grow at a little over three per cent while total polymer demand is estimated to be just less than five million tonnes by the end of 2016,a report said.

　　Compared with other parts of the Middle East the GCC has not been as severely affected by the Syrian crisis, whilst free trade and investment incentives have seen infrastructure increasingly grow and a growing services sector contribute more to the economy, counteracting the impact of low oil prices.

　　Saudi Arabia and the UAE account for 83 per cent of the plastics processed in the region with a high demand for commodity polymers whilst engineering polymers demand remains very low at less than 1 per cent of total polymer demand in the region, said the report entitled “Plastic Processors in the GCC 2017” released by Applied Market Information, a top business intelligence company.

　　Even the smaller countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar exhibit growth and potential.

　　In particular, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as well as the World Expo in Dubai 2020 have created major construction projects benefitting the plastics industry, the report said.
