A review of the development status of PTFE in China(1)

1. China's PTFE production capacity and output continue to rise

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China's PTFE production capacity, output and load rate continued to grow.

(1) From 2016 to 2021, China's PTFE production capacity will fluctuate and grow (see Figure 1-1), with a compound growth rate of 10.14%; in 2021, China's PTFE production capacity will reach 188,000 tons/year (excluding foreign companies), a year-on-year increase An increase of 24.83%, accounting for 60.84% of the global polytetrafluoroethylene production capacity (data source: "Fluorosilicone Materials" "How much do you know about the global polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE) production capacity in 2021?").
(2) From 2016 to 2020, China's polytetrafluoroethylene production continued to increase (see Figure 1-2), with a compound growth rate of 13.96%; in 2020, China's polytetrafluoroethylene production reached 121,500 tons (excluding foreign companies), a year-on-year increase of 38.51% %.

(3) From 2016 to 2020, the load rate of PTFE plants in China continued to rise (see Figure 1-3), and the load rate in 2020 was as high as 80.67%.
