At present, my country has become the world's largest manufacturer of chemical products, and it is expected to maintain a high growth rate in the future and further expand its influence. From the perspective of the development trend of the chemical industry, my country's fine chemical industry still has a lot of room for development. Fine chemical industry is a strategic focus for the development of the chemical industry in various countries in the world, and it is also an important development direction of my country's chemical enterprises, and the prospects are still promising.

The development status of fine chemical enterprises

At present, most of my country's fine chemical enterprises are backward in equipment, the technology research and development cycle is too long, the research and development efforts are not enough, the capital investment is insufficient, and a perfect innovation system has not yet been formed. No core competitiveness has been formed.

At the same time, the degree of concentration of fine chemicals is very low, and most enterprises develop in a decentralized manner, making it difficult to produce high-level fine chemicals. The fine chemical industry should be highly integrated with the development of information technology, but at present, the domestic fine chemical industry is still in an embarrassing situation to ensure its survival, and there is no time to consider informatization, which seriously restricts the sound development of the fine chemical industry.

Moreover, most enterprises are "profit-seeking" and do not consider the problem of environmental pollution at all, resulting in a lot of waste of resources, and the huge cost of dealing with the "three wastes" has become a heavy economic burden for the fine chemical industry. It can be said that environmental pollution has not only become a huge challenge for the sustainable development of mankind, but also the biggest obstacle to the development of meticulous chemical industry.

Analysis of supply of fine chemical products

In the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" issued by the state, it is proposed that by 2015, the domestic fine chemical self-sufficiency rate should reach more than 80%, and in terms of the current self-sufficiency rate of the fine chemical industry, a large amount of capital and technical investment is still needed. Due to technical and other reasons, domestic progress in new fields of fine chemicals and new chemical materials lags slightly. The domestic self-sufficiency rate in new fields of fine chemicals is 70%-75%, and the self-sufficiency rate in electronic chemicals and other fields is less than 50%. In terms of new chemical materials, the domestic self-sufficiency rate is only hovering at 55%-60%. between. In these high-tech fields, the more high-end and important products, the lower the domestic self-sufficiency rate.

Not only that, the structure of my country's fine chemical products is not very reasonable. At present, the new chemical materials produced in China are mainly low-grade products, while the middle and high-grade products are mainly imported. For example, the price of imported PTFE is about twice the price of exported PTFE.

The new chemical materials produced in my country are mainly general-purpose products, and lack special-purpose products for market segments. For example, among the four major types of silicone materials (silicon rubber, silicone oil, silicone resin, and silane coupling agent), developed countries have There are 6-8 thousand specific varieties and brands, while there are only dozens of them in our country.

In addition, the market for some environmentally friendly products is still in the early stages of development. Because my country has not yet levied environmental tax on ordinary plastics that are not biodegradable. Compared with traditional plastics, the cost of degradable plastics is relatively high, and the market for degradable plastics is still in the early stage of development; as a developing country, the ODS substitutes currently used in my country are still mainly HCFCs, which have less damage to the ozone layer. In the future, it is necessary to gradually replace it with HFC, which has no damaging effect on the ozone layer.

Prospect forecast of fine chemical industry

It is precisely because of the above deficiencies that my country's fine chemical industry will have more development prospects in the future. With more and more multinational companies investing in and building factories in China, the continuous expansion of scale and the introduction of advanced preparation technology will definitely bring about the continuous growth of my country's fine chemical market supply.

According to statistics, in 2015, the total industrial output value of my country's fine chemical industry was about 3,702.1 billion yuan, an increase of about 10% over 2014. According to the current development momentum, it is expected that by 2021, the total industrial output value of the industry will reach about 5.9 trillion yuan, and there is still much room for growth.
