According
to a survey report on the status of members of the Japan plastics
industry association from April to June 2018,production and sales
increased from January to march.On the one hand, the "upturn" in the
amount calculation decreased and the "deterioration" increased.The
problem of operating "raw materials" was particularly acute, rising by
50.8% to 6.2 percentage points.In order to cover the rising cost of raw
materials, one part of them will be transferred to the price of
products, thus increasing the sales volume. However, if the price is not
transferred, the estimated calculation is also deteriorating.In the
questionnaire survey to the members, someone replied: "Polyethylene
tends to rise in price from July to September. Now we have to increase
the price of our products."On the other hand, There have also been calls
for "material, logistics and personnel costs to rise, but it is
difficult to determine how prices will reflect".
The price of crude oil has risen since April and so has the market for
refined petroleum products.The standard price for refined petroleum
products rose to more than 55,000 yen in the third quarter from 47,900
yen per kilogram in the first quarter of this year.The price of
general-purpose resins such as polyethylene is also rising.Japan's
largest polyethylene company recently said the price index hit a record
high.
Due to the rising price of raw materials, the price of terminal
products such as resin processed products has also increased, and the
pressure of price rise is very high, which may lead to
hyperinflation.Although big firms are keeping wages steady, small and
medium-sized firms' pay, pensions and education fees need to be
addressed to sustain rising personal consumption.
There are also many opinions about the shortage of talent in this
survey.In the management problem, the items such as "high personnel
cost", "difficult recruitment", "lack of skilled personnel",
"insufficient technical ability" and "personnel training" appear quite
high.Part-time job offers continue to be difficult, even if they can be
hired, work 1-2 months to quit, the cost is growing, recruitment
frequency is also adjusting. It is especially important to minimize costs without compromising product quality.High efficiency, environmental, energy saving and long service life
are the ideal requirements for the indispensable water chiller.Cheap
product mostly comes from cheap raw materials,A quality product must be
