题目解答
答案
解析
ICI的塑料部门在过去几年中经历了困难时期，因为他们的传统产品销售不佳。在1982年至1984年间，ICI的塑料部门损失了1.2亿美元。他们认为最有希望的新市场是包装，特别是瓶子和罐头。
步骤 2：分析ICI的行动
为了进入这个市场，ICI在1982年之后开设了三个新工厂，生产“Melinar”，这是一种用于制造高质量聚酯瓶的原材料。这表明ICI对聚酯瓶市场非常感兴趣，并且正在积极投资以进入这个市场。
步骤 3：理解聚酯瓶的市场潜力
聚酯瓶在1970年代被发明，用于软饮料公司如可口可乐销售的大型两升容器。由于这些大型容器内部气体压力的增加，玻璃和PVC都不适合。因此，聚酯瓶成为一种新的解决方案。聚酯瓶不仅几乎不可破碎，而且更轻，更安静，可以重复使用。这些特性使得聚酯瓶在大型容器市场中具有竞争力。
步骤 4：分析选项
A. 其他他们制造的东西销售不佳。这与ICI对聚酯瓶的兴趣有关，因为他们在寻找新的市场。
B. 玻璃制造商无法制造足够的新瓶子。这并不是ICI对聚酯瓶感兴趣的原因。
C. 他们有可以改造的工厂来制造它。这与ICI对聚酯瓶的兴趣有关，因为他们在投资生产聚酯瓶的原材料。
D. 油价不断变化。这与ICI对聚酯瓶的兴趣无关。
