摘要

闡述了亞太地區主要的乙烯工業及其下游的聚乙烯裝置的發展和投資現況，包括中國、中東地區、台灣及印度和泰國等新興國家。2005~2010年之間全球的乙烯生產能力將增加2,970萬公噸，其中有35%將出現在亞洲，估計到2010年中東地區乙烯生產能力將達到3,400萬公噸／年，屆時將佔全球乙烯生產能力的18%左右。2007年第二季起台塑集團旗下三套輕油裂解廠的乙烯總產能接近300萬公噸／年，其中有近1/3的乙烯產量將用於生產聚乙烯衍生物。雖然面對亞太地區新增乙烯及聚乙烯產能的競爭，在上下游產品的垂直整合下，台灣塑膠工業股份有限公司的聚乙烯產業除了技術性去瓶頸提升產能外，還採取了一系列的“藍海策略”，不僅追求產品的差異化，更致力於降低生產成本。因此，仍樂觀地看待2007年的營運。

The development and invested status of ethylene industry as well as its downstream polyethylene (PE) facilities in Asian Pacific area including China, Mid-east Area, Taiwan and new emerging countries such as India and Tailand were presented. The global ethylene capacity was increased by 29.7 million metric ton within 2005~2010 that accounted for 35 percent emerging in Asia. It was predicted that the ethylene capacity in Mid-east area will reach 34 million metric ton in 2010. At that time, its ethylene capacity was estimated to account for 18 percent of the whole globe. From the 2nd quarter of 2007, total ethylene capacity of Formosa Plastics Group with three naphtha cracker facilities will upgrade further to 3.0 million metric ton per year. About one-third of all ethylene capacity from No.6 naphtha crackers will be used to manufacture polyethylene derivatives. Although it is necessary to face with the strong competition of new increasing ethylene and its downstream polyethylene capacities from Asian Pacific area, that polyethylene business of Formosa Plastics Corporation adopted a series of blue-ocean strategies with the exception of technical revamping to increase its PE capacity, not only to chase their products difference, but to make all efforts to keep cost down. Consequently, it is also optimistic to run and manage polyethylene business of Formosa Plastics Corporation in 2007.
