Abstract

The paper presents the results of the research of the world and Russian market of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a comparative assessment is made and the similarities and differences of these segments at the present have been identified. The theoretical possibility of considerable prospects of the development of domestic production of PVC is justified, ensure that it can achieve import substitution and export substitutionof this product in Russia. Based on the theoryof value chains and cluster organization of the enterprises of coal and chemical industries, ferrous metallurgy and other enterprises of Kuzbass have been proposed new technological solutions for the production of PVC, taking into account regional features of naturalresource base and capacity of national and world markets. It is established that the organization of production of PVC, using coal chemistry technology can be a promising growth point for the business of the Kemerovo region, will help to diversify the coal industry, to expand its product structure and export potential of the region, increase its competitiveness.

Highlights

  • Kuzbass at the turn of XX – XXI centuries moved into the category of old coal regions experiencing pressure from newly developing coal basins located in Yakutia and Tuva, having rich deposits of coking and energy coal

  • The rapid growth of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production in Russia in physical terms in the period from 2012 to 2015 is confirmed by 18% growth in 2015 compared to the previous 2014 and 1,5 times growth compared to the basic 2012 This fact proves the rapid growth of this sub-sector compared to the whole plastics processing industry, where the annual development rate reached 11.8% in 2015

  • In continuation of this study highly rational and innovative, in our opinion, is the placement of the PVC production based on vertical integration of the enterprises of the coal industry, enterprises of non-metallic materials, metallurgy and other enterprises of Kuzbass, in particular with leading producers of chemical products in the region, such as JSC "Khimprom" - a potential supplier of chlorine for the production of vinyl chloride monomer

Summary

Introduction

Kuzbass at the turn of XX – XXI centuries moved into the category of old coal regions experiencing pressure from newly developing coal basins located in Yakutia and Tuva, having rich deposits of coking and energy coal. In this case the logistics component of delivery of coal to the countries of South-East Asia and Japan for these fields, given the proximity of BAM and the ports of Primorye, significantly reduces the competitiveness of Kuznetsk coal. Very promising forms of diversification of the resource economies there may be models of vertical integration and cluster organization of the regional economy
