Analysis of development trend of fine chemical industry

In recent years, the domestic fine chemical industry has been focusing on one issue: the development trend of fine chemical industry in the 21st century. Fine chemical industry is a highly comprehensive and technology-intensive industry. In recent years, all countries in the world, especially the industrial developed countries, have taken the development of fine chemical products as one of the key development strategies for the upgrading and adjustment of traditional chemical industrial structure.

With the further development of social economy, people to the electronic, automotive, industrial machinery, construction of new materials, new energy and new environmental protection material demand will rise further, electronics and information chemicals, surface engineering, medicine, chemicals, etc, will get further development, global fine chemicals market size will remain higher than the speed of the traditional chemical industry is growing rapidly.

Status of fine chemical industry in China

At present, China's specialty chemicals industry is still in the early stage of growth in the industry life cycle, while the industry of coatings, household chemicals and pesticides has been in the late stage of growth. Fine chemical industry is still a sunrise industry in China and even in the world.

China attaches great importance to the development of fine chemical industry. At present, fine chemical industry has become one of the important development directions of chemical industry. Chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry is an important part of national economy. As the basic industry of national economy, China's chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry has developed rapidly in recent years.

From 2005 to 2017, the main business revenue of China's chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry increased from 1.62 trillion yuan to 8.71 trillion yuan, and the business scale expanded by more than five times, according to the statistical data of "market foresight and investment strategy planning analysis report of fine chemical industry" released by the forward-looking industry research institute. With the continuous development of China's national economy, the fine chemical industry, which serves many industries, has developed rapidly in the past decades. From 2005 to 2014, the main business revenue of China's specialty chemicals manufacturing industry increased from 316.9 billion yuan to 1.94 trillion yuan, the business scale expanded more than 6 times, the growth rate was relatively fast, and the growth rate was higher than the overall average level of the chemical industry.

At present, the refinement rate of developed countries such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan remains at a high level. Although China has gradually become the processing place and export place of the world's important fine chemical raw materials and intermediates, there is still a large gap in the field of high-end chemical products compared with developed countries, and some high-tech products are highly dependent on import. As the fine chemical industry plays an important role in the chemical industry and even the whole national economy, China will continue to take the improvement of the scientific and technological level and the refinement rate of fine chemical industry as one of the national strategic development directions in the future.

Future development trend of fine chemical industry

Fine chemical products are characterized by wide variety of products, wide application, complex process and technology, high added value and high viscosity to downstream customers. The rapid development of fine chemical industry has become an inevitable trend in the development of chemical industry due to the difficulty of replacing fine chemicals and their continuous expansion of application range.

In recent years, with the development of high and new technology, the international and domestic fine chemical industry has been developing rapidly. The fine chemical industry in developed countries or regions such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan is also relatively developed, representing the highest level of development of fine chemical industry in the world today.

Over the years, China has attached great importance to the development of fine chemical industry, and has taken fine chemical industry as one of the strategic priorities for the development of chemical industry. With the improvement of scientific research strength and production capacity, China's fine icbc has been developing rapidly, and the refinement rate has been continuously improved. At present, fine chemical subdivided varieties are increasing day by day, and their production capacity, output, varieties and manufacturers are still growing.

Nevertheless, compared with developed countries with a longer history of chemical industry development, China's overall technical level of fine chemical products is still relatively low, the core technology of fine chemical industry still lags behind the international advanced level, and the import dependence of high performance, functionalization and high value-added fine chemicals is still relatively high. Compared with the level of refinement in developed countries, China's fine chemical industry still has much room for improvement.

With the steady growth of China's economy, the deepening of industrialization and informationization process, and the adjustment and upgrading of industrial structure, especially the country attaches great importance to fine chemical industry, China's fine chemical industry will embrace good opportunities and broad space in the future.
