价格改革后中国润滑油市场的变化及其前景展望

Changes and Prospects of China's Lubricant Market After Price Reform

自1992年9月中国润滑油价格放开后,低档润滑油在市场中的比重上升且价格一度大幅上扬,进口润滑油数量也逐年增加。1994年以来,润滑油价格回落,市场趋向平稳。目前中国润滑油调合厂数量过多、规模太小,产品质量和品种与国外相比存在很大差距。鉴于此,应进一步加强和完善润滑油市场改革,加强润滑油市场整顿,严格润滑油企业的行业标准和产品的质量认证制度。预计今后一个时期,中国润滑油需求的增长率将高于世界平均水平。到2000年中国润滑油的实际消费量将从1994年的218万吨增加到300多万吨。

Following China's deregulation of the lubricant market in September 1992, low grade lubricants flooded the market and prices rose rapidly. Imports of lubricant also increased steadily. China currently possesses an overabundance of small lubricant blending plants, producing products of inferior quality and limited variety as compared with foreign products. This situation calls for further reform and reorganization of the lubricant market, including adoption of stricter enterprise and product standards. It is expected that China's demand for lubricants will increase at an higher rate than the international level. Actual consumption will rise from 2. 18 million tons in 1994 to more than 3 million tons in 2000.
