Domestic new materials industry will enter the "fast road"

One word to describe the current new material industry is "hot."

Not only are new material companies popular with venture capital firms, but the new materials sector has also become a new favorite in the capital market. Shenzhen, an energy-saving material company engaged in the recycling of waste plastics, will land on the GEM in the first quarter, and more than 20 companies are already in the guidance period for listing.

At the same time, the enthusiasm for investing in the development of new material industries is increasing. On December 9, 2011, the Beijing Economic and Information Technology Commission proposed that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, Beijing will strive to build a new highland for scientific innovation in the Zhongguancun Science City and build a 100 billion yuan-class Beijing Petrochemical New Materials Technology and Technology Base and Beijing Yong Feng National New Material High-tech Industrialization Base; 10 days later, Guangdong New Material Industrial Base was launched in Nanhai District of Foshan City and is expected to be put into production this year. By 2015, it will create an industry value of no less than 150 billion yuan per year.

Interconnections within and between industries also appear to be extremely active. On the one hand, Shenzhen enterprises, which are at the forefront of applied materials, received “Olive Branches” from the economic development zones in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang in 2011. They hope that they will transfer some of their production lines. On the other hand, some enterprises in Shenzhen have begun to The R&D center has been moved to the universities and research institutes with strong R&D strengths. For example, Sichuan University, which has the largest R&D and industrial incubation capacity in the field of polymer materials, has attracted some Shenzhen companies to “close”.

What ignited the passion of new material companies? Policy promotion has contributed. By the end of 2010, the country proposed to cultivate and develop the deployment of seven strategic emerging industries, and the new materials industry is one of them. As a result, the new material has entered more and more people's perspectives as a single concept.

In the past year, the increase in multi-level R&D investment has made new material companies feel “thirst quencher”. Multi-gradient project support from countries, provinces, cities, districts and counties has emerged, and the enthusiasm of enterprises has been fully mobilized.

The new materials industry is an important foundation for the development of all sectors of the national economy, especially strategic emerging industries. Nearly all of the six strategic emerging industries such as new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and new energy vehicles require new materials. The next 5 to 10 years are the golden period for the development of new materials industries. New material companies should seize this development opportunity.

It can be expected that the development of new materials industry will enter the "fast road."
