The development of new chemical materials in China is bumpy
The development of new chemical materials in China is bumpy
During the period of "new expo", sponsored by the China petroleum and chemical industry association of China chemical new material development seminar held in Harbin on September 2, communicating with "twelfth five-year" chemical new material mid-term review and key ideas for development as the theme, "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in" chemical new material world in recent 10 years are summarized and technological achievements and development direction.
"In recent years, the new material industry of chemical industry in China has developed rapidly, and the production capacity of engineering plastics, special rubber, polyurethane, fluorosilicate materials and electronic chemicals is among the highest in the world. However, the internal and external environment of the development of new chemical materials industry in China is still serious. The development of new chemical materials industry in China is to meet the challenge and forge ahead. Pan aihua, deputy director of the department of raw materials of the ministry of industry and information technology, has high hopes for the development of new chemical materials industry in the development and exchange of China chemical new materials.
The United States dupont, Germany basf, lanxess group in Germany, the Netherlands royal DSM group, Japan toray corporation, China national chemical group, shenyang aircraft group, Beijing chemical university, Beijing university of aeronautics and astronautics and other executives and academicians, experts nearly 200 participants from the exchange.
Grasp the opportunity and challenge it
Pan Aihua said, chemical new material has the advantage of light quality, excellent performance, functional, high technology content, in response to the global energy crisis, climate change, environmental pollution and lack of water resources are playing an increasingly important role. At the same time, with the strengthening of the concept of plastic steel, the replacement of new chemical materials in engineering materials and daily necessities will be strengthened and the market space is very large.
From the inside, the ability of technical innovation is not strong. Chemical new material research and development of the overall level in our country and the developed countries still have larger gap, mainly displays in: one is with independent intellectual property rights of patent work is not much, high performance, high value-added products is relatively small. The second is the low level of integration of new chemical materials, the low efficiency of research results, and the difficulty in realizing large-scale and stable production of some important varieties. In carbon fibre, for example, in recent years, countries use the central fiscal funds for carbon fiber production technology research and development has carried on the key support, but only can solve the problem of "from scratch", how to guarantee the stability of carbon fiber batch production still have a lot of work to do, the downstream application market is not open.
Second, the enterprise's overall competitiveness is weak. At present, China's chemical new material market is dominated by the world's top 500 foreign enterprises. The main force of domestic chemical new material enterprises is the state-owned enterprises represented by blue star group and a number of high-tech private enterprises. The former earlier into the market, industrial foundation, complete device has a certain scale, strong technical accumulation and talent reserves, operation and management specification but mechanisms are not flexible, most products into the mid-market, part of the product is still in the low end. The latter has strong research and development capabilities, high technical content, quick market reaction and flexible mechanism, but the industrial chain is incomplete and the device is small. But we should also see, in our country is more of a large number of private small and medium-sized chemical enterprise, the enterprise technical level is not high, research and development ability is weak, mainly by buying technology and equipment, flexible product solutions, but ignore environmental protection and quality, the problem such as lack of core competitiveness.
Look from the outside, to suppress the development of China chemical new materials industry, foreign big enterprise to China technology blockade, enterprises in our country through independent research and development technology breakthrough, foreign competitors through the monopoly in the Chinese market to obtain high profits, or restrict exports to China. Once domestic enterprises through independent research and development in some areas have substantial breakthrough, foreign competitors and will immediately have been breaking the monopoly, the lower part of the technology and equipment are transferred to the domestic enterprises, technology transfer profit and big price cuts on domestic products into the market, at the same time the emphasis to higher-end products. Carbon fiber and fluorine membrane are typical examples. Domestic enterprises in the introduction of foreign technology equipment, whether in production capacity and cost, or in product quality, with foreign competitors still have a big gap. At the same time, foreign rivals are often used in the Chinese market to slash the price dumping behavior, extrusion for the newly introduced equipment company's survival space, make domestic enterprises to accumulate the independent research and development ability, not be able to obtain product upgrade, through technology progress while foreign competitors can still maintain the leading position in the high-end products, continue to make big profits.
China petroleum and chemical industry association, vice President of Zhao Jungui also said that chemical new material as an important part of the new material industry is not only an important foundation for development of strategic emerging industries, is also the traditional transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry and the development important direction. Since the beginning of the new century, China's national economy has continued to grow rapidly and the development of high and new technology has opened up an unprecedented market for the development of new materials industries. In 2010, the production value of new materials in China's chemical industry is about 170 billion yuan. It is expected to exceed 300 billion yuan in 2015, with an average annual growth rate of about 15 percent, about double the GDP growth rate for the same period.
At present, the foreign chemical new material industry develops rapidly. One is accelerated structural adjustment, each big multinational companies will be new materials as occupy more market share and the high ground of the new round of competition of science and technology, traditional petrochemical divest non-core business, accelerated to high performance and functional areas of chemical new material development; Second, pay more and more attention to technological progress, increase investment in research and development, shorten production cycle, new product development to dig deeper into the customers' needs, through innovative design, customized solutions to the customers, create new value; 3 it is to adapt to the trend of economic globalization, the superior resources, market, labor conditions, countries and regions of large-scale production base and sales, research and development center, greatly reduce the production cost, improve product competitive advantage.
In Zhao Jungui view, chemical new material development is relatively backward in our country, mainly displays in: enterprises small in scale, science and technology innovation capability is not strong, the technical achievements transformation ability insufficiency, the single product variety, low construction serious homogeneity, etc. This both for their own research and development innovation ability weak, the sticking point of the quality of the product and market development level is low, there is also a system mechanism is not sound caused by low level repeated construction, production, use disjointed problem.
Nonetheless, Pan Aihua said, China's chemical industry new materials enterprises still have to firmly grasp the national key opportunities for the development of strategic emerging industries, grasped the nettle and pioneering spirit, improve the innovation ability, constantly to overcome technical challenges, gradually occupied the high-end market.
He also promoted the development of the industry
Pan aihua pointed out that, for a long time, the state attaches great importance to the development of new material industry of chemical industry, and USES 863 and 973 technology programs to support the research and development of key chemical new materials. In 2011, the ministry of industry and around the new material industry development, together with the relevant departments issued "new material industry" twelfth five-year "development plan", and further refinement of the advanced polymer materials and high performance composite materials such as chemical new materials development direction and key. In 2013, together with the ministry of finance, the national development and reform commission to organize and implement the new material research and development and industrialization projects, the carbon fiber and composite materials, carbon carbon composite material, membrane materials and other chemical new material given the key support of the project. Last year, around key technology innovation and industrialization promote carbon fiber, the industrial transformation and upgrading and the downstream application development from four aspects, the ministry formulated the "accelerate the carbon fiber industry development plan of action. Recently, under the guidance of the ministry, led by China building material group, set up the development of Chinese carbon fiber and composite industry alliance, aimed at to apply for traction, breakthrough in carbon fiber and composite materials in the fields such as aerospace, high-end equipment application bottlenecks, petrochemical association of new material plate was elected vice chairman of the unit. Next, the ministry of industry and information technology will continue to work with relevant departments and industry associations to promote the development of new chemical materials industry in the following five aspects.
First, strengthen policy guidance and promote industrialization. Miit will jointly with other departments to continue through technical reform, strengthening foundation engineering, new materials research and development and industrialization projects, such as support chemical industrialization demonstration and application of new materials, support the construction of public service platform.
Second, strengthen the industry management, play the role of industry association. In order to take the market as the orientation, the enterprise is the main body, fully play the role of the combination of the government and the research. The government will create a fair and transparent market competition environment by formulating standards, planning and policies and strengthening the supervision of policy implementation. At the same time, the government can facilitate for the industry, in key chemical new material industry, guide to establish the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industry alliance, eliminate the barriers hindering the development of the industry, for example, we recently to promote chemical new material industry and equipment industry, industry associations to play a role of bridge and link between government and enterprises.
Third, encourage enterprises to open up and go international. On the one hand, we welcome foreign advanced enterprises to "come in". We should grasp the overseas enterprises seeking greater profits in the Chinese market, looking for partners in China this opportunity, encourage domestic enterprises to cooperate with foreign enterprises, and expand as much as possible in the cooperation with the foreign technological overflow effect. On the other hand, we also encourage Chinese enterprises to "go out". Make full use of the resources of the world, including mineral resources, technical resources, market resources, talent resources, etc. The ministry will study and encourage policies in conjunction with relevant departments.
Fourth, cultivate enterprises to do a great job and promote industrial intensive development. Enterprises should be encouraged to make greater use of mergers and reorganizations and strategic cooperation to form a number of new chemical materials enterprises with international competitiveness. At the same time, we encourage the construction of chemical industry clusters around large enterprises. Chemical new material industry upstream and downstream of the correlation is very strong, the establishment of the chemical industry cluster can greatly save transportation cost, at the same time is conducive to industrial chain between enterprises supporting each other, improve the overall competitiveness.
Fifth, appropriate use of fair trade means to protect the national industry. In the past few years, China has actively used anti-dumping and other international fair trade measures in the new chemical materials industry, to deal with the suppression of Chinese national industry by foreign competitors. For example, antidumping in organic silicon and bisphenol A has played an active role in the rapid development of relevant industries in China. Next, the ministry will continue to support the international trading environment for the fair competition of new chemical materials enterprises.
