Supply - Demand Balance Sheets - **Polyethylene**: From 2018 - 2024, the production capacity, production, net import volume, and apparent consumption generally showed an upward trend, with fluctuations in the growth rate. For example, the production capacity growth rate in 2020 was 17.8%, and the consumption growth rate in 2019 was 14.3% [14]. - **Polypropylene**: From 2018 - 2024, the production capacity, production, net import volume, and apparent consumption also showed an upward trend with fluctuations. For example, the production capacity growth rate in 2020 was 15.5%, and the consumption growth rate in 2020 was 17.9% [16].
