Industry Economic Situation Analysis Conference Held in Beijing
In 2007, China's oil and chemical industry achieved significant growth, with an industrial output value of 5.2 trillion yuan, sales revenue reaching 5.1 trillion yuan, a profit of 530 billion yuan, total import and export volume of 310 billion U.S. dollars, and fixed asset investment of 635 billion yuan. These figures represent year-on-year increases of 21.8%, 22.5%, 21%, 22%, and 34% respectively. Looking ahead to 2008, the industry is expected to see further growth, with an estimated increase of around 18% in total industrial output, 20% in sales revenue, 19% in profits, 18% in import trade, 25% in export trade, and over 20% in fixed asset investment.
This information was shared at the 2007 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Economic Situation Analysis Conference held in Beijing on December 19. During the event, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association released its "China Petroleum and Chemical Economic Operation Report," offering a comprehensive overview of the sector’s performance and future challenges.
Li Yongwu, President of the association, outlined five key priorities for the industry's development in the coming year: maintaining economic stability, promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, optimizing industry and product structures, accelerating technological innovation, and advancing responsible care initiatives to support social harmony.
Meng Quansheng, vice president of the association, highlighted seven notable features of the industry’s performance in 2007. These included sustained rapid production growth, improved economic quality, greater emphasis on energy efficiency and environmental protection, progress in structural adjustments, enhanced supply security for agricultural inputs, stronger technological innovation, growing commitment to responsible care, and increased investment activity, especially from multinational companies.
The report also pointed out that rising crude oil prices have intensified supply-demand imbalances across the oil, petrochemical, and chemical sectors. Looking ahead, the industry will face challenges in cost management, market competition, product differentiation, and industrial restructuring.
As the sector continues to evolve, it remains crucial for policymakers and industry leaders to focus on sustainable and innovative growth strategies to ensure long-term stability and competitiveness.
