On January 27, 2019, the “2019 China paint conference” with the theme of “innovation-driven green development” was successfully held in puyang, henan province.At the meeting, liu jie, deputy secretary general of China coating industry association, delivered the keynote speech “analysis of economic operation and future trend of China coating industry in 2018”, and announced a series of key data of economic operation of China coating industry in 2018.
In 2018, the coating and pigment industry in China experienced a year of severe test in history. The requirements of environmental protection laws and regulations have been increasingly strict, and the production and operation of enterprises have been strictly regulated. The investment in environmental protection facilities and safety production continues to grow.In this year, more and more enterprises realized that promoting transformation by environmental protection and seeking development by green is the only way for enterprises in the future, and the whole industry greatly accelerated the pace of transformation and upgrading.
Liu jie first introduced the characteristics of China’s economic development in 2018.China’s GDP in 2018 reached 9030.9 billion yuan, ranking second in the world and meeting its growth target.Final consumption expenditure contributed 76.2% to economic growth, remaining above 50% for three consecutive years.The added value of the three industries accounted for 7.2 percent, 40.7 percent and 52.2 percent, respectively, and the economic structure continued to improve.The added value of strategic emerging industrial industries increased by 8.9 percent and that of high-tech industrial industries increased by 11.7 percent.
From the perspective of the development situation of major industries in the upstream and downstream of coatings in 2018
Real estate industry: investment in real estate development in 2018 increased by 9.5% over the previous year;Residential investment increased by 13.4%, accounting for 70.8% of the total investment in real estate development.The projects to renovate run-down and dangerous buildings are continuing to advance.

Petrochemical industry: main revenue increased by 8.6% year-on-year, total profit increased by 16.3%;Total production of chemicals increased by 2.3%, one of the historically low growth rates.Investment in the manufacturing of chemical raw materials and chemicals grew at only 6.0% in the year, slower than the national average.
From the perspective of economic operation of national coating industry in 2018
In 2018, the output of the 1,336 enterprises in China’s coating industry reached 17.59979 million tons, up 5.9% year-on-year (in 2017, the output data was revised to 16.618 million tons).In 2018, the total revenue of the 1998 industrial enterprises above the designated size reached 326.81 billion yuan, up 6.5% year-on-year, and the total profit reached 23.648 billion yuan, up 5.1% year-on-year.
Among them, the loss of loss-making enterprises increased by 27.4% year-on-year, and the growth rate decreased by 17.7 percentage points.Accounts receivable of industrial enterprises increased by 6.3% year on year to reach more than 60.7 billion yuan, accounting for 18% of the main business income of the whole industry.The total interest expense was 1.869 billion yuan, up 35.4% and 47.6 percentage points over the same period last year, indicating that the difficulty of financing for industrial enterprises was increasing rapidly this year.
In terms of coating production, the production in March 2018 was lower than that in the same period, with a growth rate of -5.0%.The cumulative output growth rate from April to December is also increasing gradually. In the second, third and fourth quarters, the supply and demand of China’s coating industry and downstream industries are stable, and the output growth rate is reasonable. July and August are the most concentrated period of coating construction, with the growth rate reaching 10.8%.
From the perspective of income and profit of main business, enterprises generally felt operating pressure from September to October.The government’s decisive introduction of policies to stabilize growth and interviews with key enterprises played an important role in stabilizing growth in the fourth quarter.As the industry faces greater operating pressure in the second half of the year, enterprises generally cut expenses to maintain profits, ensuring the final 5.1% annual growth rate.
In 2018, there were 1,906 enterprises above the scale in the national coating industry, ranking the top 100 enterprises, with total revenue of 159.998 billion yuan, accounting for 48.91% of the industry.
According to the “100 index” enterprises selected in the order of main business revenue in 2018, the selected output accounted for 61% and the main business revenue accounted for 43% (the total amount is converted into paint business).Output growth slowed from 14% to 3%;The average growth rate of main business income is 1.5%;Profits fell 23 percent in 2017 and 3 percent in 2018.
In 2018, nearly 20% of the 100 enterprises saw their main business growth of more than 20%, and nearly 40% saw their main business growth of 0-20%, while nearly 40% saw their main business income decline.
Among the 100 enterprises in 2018, the annual output of architectural and decorative coatings was 4.377 million tons and 3.917 million tons respectively.The main business income of architectural decoration coatings was 38.668 billion yuan, and that of industrial coatings was 70.38 billion yuan.The output of industrial coatings is lower than that of architectural decoration coatings, but the main business income is much higher than that of architectural decoration coatings.The main business income of industrial coatings increased simultaneously with the output growth. Although the output of architectural decoration coatings increased, the main business income showed a decreasing trend.
