Fine chemical industry is one of the most dynamic innovation fields in the chemical industry, representing the development level of a national chemical industry.
Fine chemical industry is one of the most dynamic innovation fields in the chemical industry, representing the development level of a national chemical industry. In 2014, the output value of China's fine chemicals was about 3.5 trillion yuan. In that year, the output value of the national chemical industry was about 8.8 trillion yuan, and the refinement rate was about 40%. The refinement rate of the United States, the European Union and Japan has reached more than 70%. It can be seen that the development level of China's fine chemicals needs to be improved and the space is huge.
During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the fine chemical industry should base on technological innovation, strengthen the research and development of key common technologies, products and equipment, and demonstrate the application of industrialization. At the same time, we will try our best to make good use of various financing platforms and improve product structure by adjusting and optimizing products. International Competitiveness.
First, optimize the joint development model of industry, university and research to establish a long-term mechanism for cooperation and win-win. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other six ministries and commissions of the State Council actively promoted the establishment of strategic alliances for industrial technology innovation and organized and implemented some scientific and technological projects through several batches of pilot alliances. Numerous strategic alliances have been established throughout the country to combine the various innovations of higher education institutions and research institutes with the strong demand for new technologies. This has enhanced the relevance of scientific and technological topics and accelerated the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into The process of realistic productivity has achieved certain results. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary to further increase efforts to optimize the technology innovation model of production, education and research.
Second, strengthen the top-level design and implement catalytic technology innovation projects. At the heart of fine chemicals is catalytic technology, which accounts for 60% of the fine chemical products produced each year in the world and 80% of all fine chemical processes. At the same time, the catalyst itself is an important variety of the fine chemical industry. In a sense, most of the world-renowned chemical companies dominate the technological development of the world's chemical industry by monopolizing catalysts, high-end equipment and other core technologies. At present, China's research tasks involving fine chemical catalysts and application technologies are relatively few, and it is extremely inconsistent with the flourishing fine chemical industry. Therefore, during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the competent industrial authorities should attach great importance to the innovation and development of catalytic technology, implement catalytic technology innovation projects, and support the optimization and upgrading of the fine chemical industry.
Oxidation, hydrogenation, esterification, alkylation, and asymmetric synthesis are typical fine chemical reaction processes. In the task design and content selection of the catalytic technology innovation project, we should select the typical reaction for the innovation and development of the catalytic technology and industrial application demonstration with the goal of high efficiency and environmental protection, and effectively promote the innovation results.
Third, “extend and extend” to extend the industrial chain. “Upward” is to expand upstream to reduce costs and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. However, because fine chemicals are characterized by small batches, multiple varieties, intensive technology, high added value, and do not have a considerable scale of product production capacity and marketing capabilities, it is extremely difficult for general fine chemical companies to develop upstream. Relatively speaking, most fine chemical companies are directly facing the needs of end customers, and their downstream development and extension are possible choices. The specific ideas and directions include: deepening and fine-tuning the products, adding the grades of the same products after market segmentation to fully meet the needs of customers; newly adding other products with the same or similar functions, enriching the product line; or It was originally a company that was positioned as a raw material supplier, and also "played the next game" and became a supplier of end products.
Fourth, strengthen intellectual property protection and establish a mechanism for sharing results and sharing benefits. The fine chemical industry is a technology-intensive industry, characterized by fast information updates, strong confidentiality, and strong patent monopoly. The original drug products such as medicines and pesticides have long development time, high cost and low success rate. In industries such as paints and cosmetics, which are mainly based on compound products, often because the formula technology is “a layer of window paper”, companies are reluctant to apply for patents. Even for science and technology projects supported at the national level, the scientific and technological achievements formed by enterprises breaking through key technologies as a supporting unit, and because enterprises are not willing to train competitors, it is difficult to form a mechanism for sharing results. Therefore, the industry should concentrate on exploring a set of practical results sharing and benefit sharing mechanisms.
Fifth, expand financing channels to help technology innovation and industrial upgrading. Most of the fine chemical enterprises belong to small and medium-sized enterprises. It is extremely difficult to obtain loans from banks, and the road to listing financing is also very difficult. Therefore, many enterprises have long relied on private lending development, with high financing costs, high financing risks and poor sustainability of access to funds. In recent years, with the further deepening of the national financial and financial system reform, various financing platforms have emerged one after another. Fine chemical companies should choose suitable financing channels according to actual conditions. At the same time, the state should urge the financial system to improve the financial support policies and operational mechanisms for small and medium-sized enterprises, actively promote the legalization and standardization of private financing, and build a financial platform that supports the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in various natures and in various ways.
