中國石化新聞網訊 據海外媒體12月5日迪拜報道，一份報告說，海灣合作委員會（海合會）的塑料加工工業預計在今年年底前增長超過3%，而聚合物總需求量估計不到500萬噸。

　　與中東地區其他國家相比，海合會成員國沒有受到敘利亞危機的嚴重影響。與此同時，自由貿易和投資激勵措施使得基礎設施大幅增加，而日益增長的服務行業對經濟做出了更多的貢獻，從而抵消了低油價的影響。

　　由頂級商業情報公司Applied Market Information日前發表的題為“海合會2017年塑料加工工業”的報告說，沙特阿拉伯和阿聯酋占這個地區所加工塑料產量的83%，滿足了這個地區對商品聚合物的高需求。同時，工程聚合物的需求依然很低，不到該地區聚合物總需求量的1%。

　　報告說，即使較小的國家巴林、科威特、阿曼和卡塔爾也顯示出增長和潛力。尤其是，即將在卡塔爾舉行的2022年世界杯以及即將在迪拜舉行的2020年世博會已創造了許多有益于塑料工業的重大建設項目。

　　GCC plastic processing to grow 3pc this year

　　TABNinfo.com/December 05, 2016/Dubai

　　The plastics processing industry in the GCC is expected to grow at a little over three per cent while total polymer demand is estimated to be just less than five million tonnes by the end of 2016,a report said.

　　Compared with other parts of the Middle East the GCC has not been as severely affected by the Syrian crisis, whilst free trade and investment incentives have seen infrastructure increasingly grow and a growing services sector contribute more to the economy, counteracting the impact of low oil prices.

　　Saudi Arabia and the UAE account for 83 per cent of the plastics processed in the region with a high demand for commodity polymers whilst engineering polymers demand remains very low at less than 1 per cent of total polymer demand in the region, said the report entitled “Plastic Processors in the GCC 2017” released by Applied Market Information, a top business intelligence company.

　　Even the smaller countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar exhibit growth and potential.

　　In particular, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as well as the World Expo in Dubai 2020 have created major construction projects benefitting the plastics industry, the report said.
