石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月8日休斯敦报道，美国人口普查局公布的最新统计数据显示，在产量增加和国内需求疲软的背景下，去年美国聚乙烯出口量创下了历史新高。
美国人口普查局本周公布的统计数据显示，去年美国共出口了431.6232万吨各类聚乙烯(PE)，同比大幅增加了24.2%，比2016年增加了11.4%。
其中部分增加可归因于美国过去两年PE产能的扩张。自2017年初以来，美国每年新增PE铭牌产能近640万吨(增加35.9%)。
消息人士表示，尽管受地缘政治因素影响，PE树脂出现了一些转移，但对通常是美国原产PE树脂主要出口目的地的地区的出口量出现了全线上升。

US sees PE exports reach record levels in 2018: Census data
The US exported record polyethylene volumes in 2018 amid a backdrop of increased production and weak domestic demand, Census Bureau data shows.
The US exported a combined 4,316,232 mt of all grades of polyethylene (PE) in 2018, up 24.2% on the year and 11.4% over 2016, the data this week showed.
Some of the gains can be attributed to PE capacity expansions in the last two years. Since the beginning of 2017, the US has added nearly 6.4 million mt/yr (35.9%) of annual PE nameplate capacity.
Exports to regions that typically serve as the primary destinations for US-origin resins rose across the board, although there were some shifts in shares as a result of geopolitical influences, sources have said.
