中石化发展计划部有关人士日前称,尽管启动了4个大型乙烯项目,但中国2005年重要石化产品的进口量仍将较2002年增加约15％。我国将在2005年进口1500万吨重要的乙烯类石化产品,高于此前预估的1300万吨。即使在4个工厂都开始生产以后,中国石化产品的进口仍会上升而不会下降,因为需求正在快速增长。据预测,我国的石化产品需求量在2020年前将每年上升至少7.2％,以便与制造、建筑和出口的增长相互接轨。 Recently, the person concerned from Sinopec Development and Planning Department said that despite the launch of four large-scale ethylene projects, China’s import of major petrochemical products in 2005 will still increase by about 15% over 2002. China will import 15 million tons of important ethylene petrochemical products in 2005, higher than the previous estimate of 13 million tons. Even after all four factories are in production, the import of Sinopec products will continue to rise without any decline as the demand is rapidly growing. It is predicted that China’s demand for petrochemical products will rise by at least 7.2% annually by 2020 in order to align with the growth of manufacturing, construction and export.
