"Made in China 2025" is the development direction of petrochemical and chemical industry

Petrochemical and chemical industries have a high degree of industrial cross-linking and relevance, and play an important role in China's industrial economic system. These branches are important symbols of a country's economic and social development level and comprehensive strength.

At present, China has become a large petrochemical production country and an important customer, but there is still a prominent problem: the lack of scientific and technological innovation ability, lagging behind the global competition, is considered to be a "big but not strong" industry. In addition, as there is still room for the deep integration of "informatization" and industrialization, it is imperative to implement green manufacturing in an all-round way.

These factors should set China's petrochemical and chemical industry which has recently been put on the agenda in the made in China 2025 Planning Outline: it includes accelerating industrial innovation and green development, improving quality and efficiency, speeding up the pace of industrial transformation and upgrading, and realizing the transformation of petrochemical and chemical industry into a strong industrial country.

"Made in China 2025" is the development direction of petrochemical industry

After more than 60 years of development, since the founding of new China, especially in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's overall technical level of petrochemical and chemical industry has been continuously upgraded, and the scale of the national industry has been expanding. China has become a global power in petrochemical and chemical industry.

All these have laid a solid foundation for China to become a petrochemical power.

For the first time, China's industrial scale is in the forefront of the world. In 2014, the income of Sinopec Chemical Industry was 14.06 trillion yuan.

Second, efforts have been continuously improved.

Third, the structure of raw materials and products is constantly optimized. The total self-sufficiency rate of new chemical raw materials has been raised to about 60%.

Fourth, energy conservation and emission reduction have achieved remarkable results.

Fifth, the ability of scientific and technological innovation has been continuously improved.

Sixth, the integration of informatization and industrialization has achieved remarkable results.

Although remarkable achievements have been made, the task of rejuvenating China's petrochemical industry is still arduous. Compared with other world powers, China's petrochemical and chemical industry still has a huge and prominent problem of "big but not strong". Mainly in the following aspects: excess production capacity of basic products, low self-sufficiency rate of high value-added products.

The industry concentration is low, the homogeneous competition is prominent, the development mode is extensive, and the quality and efficiency need to be improved. Independent innovation ability is not strong, lack of industry-leading core technology.

The level of informatization is low, and the deep integration of informatization and industrialization is still insufficient. The level of energy conservation, environmental protection and safety management needs to be improved. "Innovation driven, quality first, green development, structure optimization, talent oriented" is the basic policy of "made in China 2025", and also the general requirement of "made in China" development. The basic policies also point out the direction for the development of petrochemical and chemical industries.

How "made in China 2025" brings new opportunities for industrial development

At present, the development of petrochemical industry is facing new situation and new problems

First of all, the global economic recovery is slow, the domestic economic growth is slow, the demand for petrochemical products is shrinking, and the economic downward pressure continues.

Second, the contradiction of structural overcapacity in China's petrochemical industry is prominent, and the traditional industries have entered the era of low profits, so it is difficult to upgrade and adjust the industrial structure.

Third, resource and environmental constraints have reached the upper limit, energy conservation and emission reduction, green development presents rigid constraints, and the traditional development model is facing severe challenges.

Fourth, international and domestic competition tends to be fierce, and technological innovation has become the biggest variable of industry and enterprise development.
