Increased demand for extruded products
Thermoplastic polyurethane has the characteristics of oil resistance, grease resistance, abrasion resistance, etc., and has strong mechanical properties, which makes it of great value in many industrial applications. Like other thermoplastic elastomers, TPU can be melt-processed and has high elasticity. It is transparent and easy to color. Therefore, it is widely used in extrusion product applications.
In addition, TPU can be compounded with a variety of materials using an extrusion process to enhance its properties, such as increasing strength, fuel and oil resistance, and abrasion resistance. Composite TPU is widely used in fields that require excellent structural integrity, such as hoses and pipes (pressure hoses, fire hoses, pneumatic pipes and air pipes), belts (conveyor belts, air cushions and transmission belts), wires (vehicle wiring, computer wiring) And wire and power cable sheath), disposable medical supplies and OA equipment connectors.
These extruded TPU products can be used in many industries, such as electrical and electronic, oil and gas, medical, automotive, etc.
The shrinking of global automobile production and global oil production in 2018-19 has affected the demand for extruded TPU products. Due to the continuing pandemic, the decline of the automobile industry, and the temporary closure of automobile manufacturing units and various industrial activities, the consumption of TPU has decreased. According to OICA, automobile production in 2020 will drop by about 15.8% compared with the same period in 2019, and the total production will reach 77.62 million vehicles, which will have a negative impact on the demand for thermoplastic polyurethanes.
Asia Pacific will dominate the market
The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share of the regional market for thermoplastic polyurethanes. Due to the increasing demand for automobiles and the increasing demand for textiles and footwear, TPU-based adhesives and sealants are expected to achieve healthy growth in the region.
China's shoe industry is the world's largest shoe industry, with a strong network of domestic sales and exports to major countries. As leather shoes account for the largest share of China's footwear industry, compared with other parts of the world, China's demand for TPU adhesives is expected to be the strongest.
With urbanization projects and new construction activities such as bridges, dams, highways, railways (subway), urban infrastructure, buildings, etc., India's construction sector is growing at a higher rate. Foreign direct investment in the construction sector has also reached about 100%. To help the industry develop, it is expected that during the forecast period, as the population increases, the industry will further grow at a higher rate.
At present, there are many airport construction projects in China, or they are in the development or planning stage. These include Beijing Capital International Airport, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. In addition, the government has also launched a large-scale construction plan to transfer 250 million people to new megacities in the next 10 years.
In addition, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is widely used in the automotive industry. Several parts of the car, such as bumpers, internal ceiling parts, doors and windows, use a lot of TPU. India’s US$118 billion auto industry is expected to reach US$300 billion by 2026. According to OICA statistics, India's car production in 2019 was 4.52 million, and in 2020 it will be reduced to 3.39 million, a decrease of about 25%. However, it is expected that by 2021, India will become the world's third largest passenger car market.
In India, the government's investment goal of investing US$120.5 billion to develop 27 industrial clusters is expected to promote the country's commercial construction.

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is doubling his pessimism. It may be time to listen.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock has been hot this year (and the past few years). Apple's stock price hit a record high; let's see if it can climb higher.

The telecommunications company AT&T (NYSE: T) stands out as a stock that can check many checkboxes for retirees. Although no stock is risk-free, and AT&T happened to have fallen by 25% in the past year, I think AT&T is now a good choice for income-hungry retirees. Almost everyone who owns a mobile phone in the United States knows what AT&T is and what the company does. Telephone bills occupies an important position in the monthly budget of most consumers, so AT&T's business has proven to be very stable over the years.
The rise of the meta universe may usher in a new era of business and social networking in the virtual world. This potentially revolutionary trend has just begun to emerge, and companies and investors are scrambling to enter the bottom. If you have to choose only one company that seems to position yourself as the leader of Metaverse, then Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) will be as powerful as any company. The company firmly believes that the virtual world is an important step forward and a revolutionary opportunity, so CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his company chose to change the company name from Facebook to one that reflects its new huge growth bet.

Even in a bullish market trend, some stocks will fall. This is just a fact of the market, and it is also the risk of stock investment. But-just because a stock is falling does not mean that investors should avoid it. In fact, the price drop may be a strong signal for investors to begin to examine it more carefully to determine whether the stock is fundamentally unsound or just facing a short-term headwind. One source that investors can turn to for this signal is the world of corporate insiders. These one

If the cost level you provide is accurate, coupled with a moderate inflation rate and a net investment growth rate of 6% to 6.5%, then your strategy should allow you to stick to social security, and then some, Brian Robinson said . Financial planner and partner of consulting firm SharpePoint. Robinson said: "There are enough assets with different taxable situations, and if the right types of vehicles are allocated and used correctly, you can achieve continuous retirement at least before the age of 90." At first, your withdrawal rate will be higher than average. This will obviously withdraw your assets faster, but when social security starts, the rate will gradually decrease. For example, you have a lot of money in your savings account.
With the rise of Tesla and the prospect of electric vehicles becoming mainstream, electric vehicle inventories have increased exponentially. The following are the most acclaimed electric car manufacturers.
From January to November, 2.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) including plug-in hybrids were sold in China. In the first half of this year, China accounted for approximately 42% of global electric vehicle sales. Global electric vehicle sales are expected to be approximately 6 million in 2021, which means that China may maintain its leading position in electric vehicle sales this year. Nearly 25% of Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) revenue in the first nine months of 2021 comes from China.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently updated the inflation rate for November 2021, stating that the average price has risen by 6.8% in the past 12 months-if you keep the score, this is the highest level since 1982.
