Fine chemical industry is a technology intensive industry with strong comprehensiveness. Firstly, the production process involves a long process flow, multiple unit reactions, complex raw materials, strict control requirements for intermediate processes, and the application of theoretical knowledge and professional skills from multiple fields and disciplines.

China attaches great importance to the development of fine chemicals, and regards fine chemicals, especially in new fields, as one of the strategic priorities for the development of the chemical industry and an important component of new materials. It has been included in multiple development plans and given key support in terms of policies and funding.

The future trend of China's fine chemical industry:

Although China's fine chemical industry has made significant progress, it also faces challenges from various aspects. At present, Chinese fine chemical enterprises are small and scattered in scale, with low concentration and generally low production technology levels. Their products are concentrated in the mid to low end stage and temporarily lack competitiveness in the international market. The scientific research in the fine chemical industry is mainly concentrated in research institutes and colleges, which is disconnected from production. At the same time, due to a lack of awareness, the production of fine chemicals has a significant impact on the environment. These factors have seriously constrained the development of China's fine chemical industry. The Chinese fine chemical industry urgently needs to accelerate the transformation of its development mode and take the path of innovation driven development.

With the arrival of the new century, the comprehensive utilization of resources, clean production processes, and green synthesis technologies will play an increasingly important role in the development of fine chemicals. At present, the chemical industry uses environmental factors to measure the amount of waste emissions from chemical production. Fine chemical processes still produce a large amount of waste gas and liquid, and the impact of fine chemical production on the ecological environment is quite prominent.

For fine chemical enterprises, environmentally friendly fine chemicals are the future trend, and increasingly strict environmental regulations will promote the upgrading of their new technologies. At the same time, the government has introduced policies to encourage innovation and create a foundation for the transformation and development of chemical enterprises. Strengthening technological innovation, adjusting and optimizing the structure of fine chemical products, and focusing on developing high-performance, specialized, and green products have become important features of the current development of fine chemical industry and a key direction for the development of fine chemical industry in China.

Data shows that the size of China's fine chemical market exceeded 5.5 trillion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 8%. It is expected to exceed 11 trillion yuan by 2027.
