The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will prepare and implement the 2018 New Materials Industry Folding Project

To further promote the development of China's new materials industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to formulate and issue a series of industrial promotion policies and measures from this year. These include the preparation and implementation of the 2018 New Materials Industry Folding Project, the establishment of the China Manufacturing 2025 Industrial Development Fund, the formulation of policies to support the promotion and application of new materials industries, and the launch of the "Key New Materials R&D and Application" major project.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also focus on optimizing the development environment of the new materials industry, and will speed up the construction of new materials production application demonstration platforms, test and evaluation platforms, resource sharing platforms, and new materials manufacturing innovation centers; We will improve the industrial system, improve and give full play to the role of the industrial expert advisory committee, and provide decision-making support for the development of the new materials industry; We will further deepen the integration of military and civilian personnel, promote the construction of a major material system for military industries, and promote the two-way transfer and transformation of new materials in the military and civilian fields.

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the total output value of China's new materials industry increased from 1 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.65 trillion yuan in 2016, an average annual growth rate of 27.6 %. In some areas, such as advanced basic materials, key strategic materials, and advanced new materials, China has also achieved "running" or even "leading" with the international advanced level.

For example, in terms of key strategic materials, six of SMIC's top seven consumable materials have been purchased domestically; Nanshan Group aluminum alloy thick plate through Boeing certification and signed a supply contract; The volume of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Megawatt rare earth permanent magnet motor is reduced by 50 % and the weight is reduced by 40 % compared with traditional Motors; The world's first high-temperature air-cooled reactorspecial power plant with the characteristics of fourth-generationspecial power plant has a localization rate of more than 85 %; Liquid metal has achieved initial applications in 3D printing, flexible intelligent machines, and vascular robots.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's new materials industry has a good momentum of development. Under the promotion of industrial policies, it will maintain a good momentum of growth. It is expected that the total industrial output value will reach 10 trillion yuan by 2025 and maintain an average annual growth rate of 20 %; By 2035, the overall strength of China's new materials industry will rank among the highest in the world, and the new materials industry development system will be basically completed, and it will provide basic support for the realization of the manufacturing power in the middle of this century.
