At present, China has become the world's largest chemical products manufacturing country, the future is expected to maintain a high growth rate, and further expand its influence. From the perspective of the development trend of the chemical industry, there is still a large space for development in the field of fine chemical industry in China. Fine chemical industry is a strategic focus of the development of chemical industry in the world at present, and it is also an important development direction of chemical enterprises in China.

At present, most of the equipment of China's fine chemical enterprises is backward, the technology research and development cycle is too long, the research and development intensity is not enough, the lack of capital investment, has not yet formed a perfect innovation system, the real practical fine chemicals are very few, the innovation is not high, and the core competitiveness has not been formed.

At the same time, the degree of concentration of fine chemicals is very low, and most enterprises are dispersed and difficult to produce a high level of 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 the awkward situation of trying to survive, and there is no time to consider information technology, which seriously restricts the healthy development of the fine chemical industry.

And most of the enterprises are "profit-oriented", do not consider the problem of environmental pollution, resulting in a large amount of waste resources, the huge cost of dealing with the "three wastes" has become a heavy economic burden on the fine chemical industry. It can be said that environmental pollution has not only become a huge challenge facing the sustainable development of human beings, but also the biggest obstacle restricting the development of careful chemical industry.

Fine chemical product supply analysis

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" issued by the state proposes that by 2015, the domestic fine chemical self-sufficiency rate needs to reach more than 80%, and at present, the self-sufficiency rate of the fine chemical industry still needs to carry out a lot of capital and technology investment. Due to technical reasons, domestic progress in the new field of fine chemicals and new chemical materials has lagged slightly. The self-sufficiency rate of the domestic new field of fine chemicals is 70%-75%, the self-sufficiency rate of electronic chemicals and other fields is less than 50%, and the domestic self-sufficiency rate of new chemical materials is only hovering between 55%-60%. In these high-tech fields, the more high-end and important products are, the lower the domestic self-sufficiency rate.

Not only that, the structure of fine chemical products in China is not very reasonable. At present, the domestic production of new chemical materials are mainly low-grade products, while the high-end products mainly rely on imports, such as imported polytetrafluoroethylene price is about twice the price of export polytetrafluoroethylene.

China's production of new chemical materials are also mainly general-purpose products, the lack of specialized products for market segments, such as in the four major categories of silicone materials (silicone rubber, silicone oil, silicone resin, silane coupling agent), developed countries have 6-8 thousand specific varieties and brands, and China only dozens of.

In addition, the market for some environmentally friendly products is still in the early stages of development. Because China has not yet imposed an environmental tax on ordinary plastics that are not biodegradable. Compared with traditional plastics, the use cost of degradable plastics is high, and the market of degradable plastics is still in the early stage of development. As a developing country, the current substitution of ODS in China is still dominated by HCFC, which has less damaging effect on the ozone layer, and in the future, it is necessary to gradually replace it with HFC, which has no damaging effect on the ozone layer.

Fine chemical industry outlook forecast

It is precisely because of the above deficiencies that China's fine chemical industry has more development prospects in the future. With more and more multinational enterprises investing in domestic factories, the continuous expansion of scale and the introduction of advanced preparation technology will certainly bring the continuous growth of China's fine chemical market supply.

According to statistics, in 2015, the total industrial output value of China'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 the room for growth is still large.
