In 2016, the total output value of China's new materials industry reached 2.65 trillion yuan, an increase of 35 percent, according to the latest HeXun data. New materials such as rare earth functional materials, advanced energy storage materials and photovoltaic materials are among the highest in the world. Although the accelerating new material industry development in China, but compared with the advanced world level, there is still a large gap in our country new material output value accounted for the proportion of the whole raw material industry is low, in particular, it is necessary to breakthrough the high-end products and core technology breakthroughs in new materials industry in China and upgrade is imminent.
"As one of the key development areas for strategic emerging industries and China 2025, new materials are the industrial foundation for the transformation and upgrading of the whole manufacturing industry, and the vitality of the revitalization of the real economy." Miao zhimin, deputy director of the department of raw materials and industry of the ministry of industry and information technology, said that the cultivation and development of the new material industry is a long and long way, which requires the joint efforts of departments at all levels and the new material production enterprises.
"Chemical new material is the basic leading material of the national economy, and is one of the areas of key development in China 2025. Since the eleventh five-year plan, the new chemical materials of the state have been developed rapidly and have achieved remarkable results in technological innovation and market cultivation, and the industrial system has been gradually improved. China petroleum (601857, shares) and chemical industry federation chemical park working committee secretary general osseo-asare k. synthesis said, at present our country has already can produce tens of thousands of kinds of new chemical products, widely used in electronics, building materials, automobile, rail transportation and other fields of the ship.
In terms of industry scale, technical level and product quality, there is a large gap between China's new chemical materials and developed countries. Some high-end chemical new materials still do not achieve large-scale production, and the gap between imports and imports is large, which can only meet the demand of the middle and low end, and some key materials still depend on imports. Especially at present, China's economy is entering into a new normal of growth rate shift, structural optimization and dynamic transformation, and industrial transformation and upgrading is imminent.
In early 2017, the ministry, the national development and reform commission, ministry of science and technology, developed jointly by the ministry of finance, new material industry development guide "proposed by 2020, key strategic materials comprehensive security capacity more than 70%, constantly improve the innovation ability, new material industry system preliminary improvement, and identify the key material development direction.
"New materials as the high-end equipment key project, the foundation of strategic emerging industries and the forerunner, is becoming more and more important, at the same time, the development of new material to combine with fund, the fund, capital, it is very important." According to gan yong, an academician of the Chinese academy of engineering and the director of the advisory committee of the national new materials industry development experts, "the combination of production and integration" is very consistent with the direction and characteristics of the current development of new materials.
"At present, zhuhai economic and technological development zone has established a modern industrial system dominated by advanced equipment manufacturing, clean energy, petrochemical and port logistics." Jiang jianping, secretary of the party committee of the national zhuhai economic and technological development zone (zhuhai gaolang port economic zone). It is understood that the district is making full use of the existing industrial base to build a regional innovation cluster with new material as an important component.
The rapid rise of any emerging industry is dependent on the pull of the capital engine, as is the new material industry. In recent years, new material industry investment is in full swing. "The new material industry has made great progress and the industry has continued to expand." A venture in Beijing, he says, is the advanced manufacturing industry investment fund will operate independently in accordance with the principle of market-oriented, capital means integration of industry resources, promote and guide the industry technology innovation synergy, boost national strategy implementation.
A venture capitalist in shenzhen believes that with the coming of the policy dividend, new materials are expected to become the focus of investors' attention. "Based on science and technology revolution, the industrial revolution, and made in China, 2025 of investment opportunities, new materials, high-end manufacturing equipment, large consumption upgrades and biological medicine health investment opportunities will be a national focus on small and medium enterprise development fund investments."
