Report Highlights

The advanced materials industry has become a hot area in countries around the world, maintaining rapid development. The flourishing manufacturing and high-tech industries create huge market demand. The advanced materials industry keeps growing, and promotes progress in material technology. Constant breakthroughs in new material technology help improve the application of advanced materials and expand application fields. The advanced materials industry and material science have formed a virtuous circle, and economic needs gradually replace military needs to become the impetus.

In 2007, China's advanced materials industry maintained healthy development, with some positive changes. As competition intensifies in this sector, large enterprises are teaming up, while small enterprises are seeking breakthroughs. Upstream and downstream enterprises blend with one another; enterprises and scientific research institutions have closer ties. Nonetheless, there are still some problems that urgently need to be solved in the industry, such as low resource utilization rate, unstable product quality, and shortage of high-end products.
