China securities network - ministry vice-minister xin guobin, said in Beijing that the new material industry development in our country in recent years has made great progress, new material industry is growing, the application level, the more comprehensive protection in key areas of new materials.

According to the xinhua news agency reported on September 26, to be held in Beijing institute of technology, "new materials industry innovation and development" pacesetter engineering innovation pulpit, xin guobin, new material industry in China has developed rapidly in recent years, "twelfth five-year" period, the new material industrial output increased from 0.65 trillion yuan in 2010 to nearly 2 trillion yuan in 2015, growth in more than 2 times, average annual growth rate of over 24%, is 15% higher than that of the world's average level. In 2016, it reached 2.65 trillion yuan, up 35%.

Xin guobin said that while the industry is growing, the new material application level in China is also increasing. At present, the new material protection capacity of chemical industry is up to 63%, and the domestic market share of high-strength and tough-resisting cars with steel and silicon steel is up to 90%. Advanced semiconductor materials, battery materials, rare earth functional materials in areas such as to accelerate the development of high performance steel materials, light alloy materials, engineering plastics, such as product structure optimization, effectively support the high speed railway, manned spaceflight, Marine engineering, energy equipment, and other countries of major project smooth implementation.

In addition, China has one of the highest production capacity in new materials such as rare earth functional materials, advanced energy storage materials, photovoltaic materials, organic silicon, super hard materials and so on. Important progress has been made in the development of new materials in materials such as supermaterials, superconducting materials, graphene and liquid metal. At present, 48 new material fields have been constructed in China, and a number of new material leading enterprises are also rising, and the endogenous driving force of industrial development has been significantly enhanced.

But xin guobin also pointed out that the new material industry in China still has a big gap compared with the world's advanced level, which has weak innovation ability, disjointed r&d and application, and lack of talent team. During the 13th five-year plan period, China will try to break through a batch of new material varieties, key technology and special equipment, and continuously improve the international competitiveness of new materials industry.
