[Key Words] Annual Report LPG Industry

Report Introduction

In 2005, precipitate¹ China’s petrochemical industry trade through the reason formed in development for many years under the vigorous market superficial phenomenon. Face unprecedented² opportunity and challenge especially as the petrochemical industry trade of the pillar industry in national economy, what course should the development of trade of petrochemical industry of our country follow to become the focus that the masses attract attention. With the high-speed development of the economy of our country, the liquefied petroleum³ gas (LPG ) of our country increased fast with consumption rate of increase of 18% every year in the past 10 years, its production, had sold and stored and transported and already formed an enormous industry, today, the international economy globalizes day by day, what course should LPG of our country follow?
This research consults the report according to the information that State Statistics Bureau , State General Administration of Customs , the State Economic and Trade Commission offer, and a large number of materials that domestic and international relevant papers and magazines offered, combine the field investigation⁴ of the relevant enterprises of petrochemical industry and R&D institution ,etc. of my department, supply , demand state , state of development , imports and exports situation , consumption demand to the trade LPG of petrochemical industry of our country ,etc. have been analysed , and has analysed especially the development trends of the petrochemical industry of the world and Chinese and LPG have carried on research, and to the suggestion how to face these changes to propose one’s own of enterprise. Report to the contents of such important plates as comprehensive petroleum , chemical industry , LPG , natural gas , other substituting fuel ,etc., and to the relevant strategy of national petrochemical industry, the trend is studied and judged , it is the petrochemical industry that produces and manages such units as the enterprise , R&D institution , investment company ,etc. and understands accurately⁵ LPG trade develops the trends at present, hold the making a reservation and fine works with rare developing direction of enterprise.
