Chemical industry has always maintained a very close relationship with us.In modern life, chemical products are inseparable almost anytime, anywhere.From the most basic clothing, food, housing and transportation to life in the spiritual fields of culture, art, entertainment, etc., you can see the role of chemical industry in it.Some chemical products have even played an epoch-making and important role in the history of human development.It can be said that the products provided by chemical industry to people are colorful, and at the same time they also help people's lives and production to be continuously improved.

Although the overall development situation of our chemical industry is in a good state, as far as it is concerned, there are four major problems in our country's chemical enterprises.

1.Changes in the trade environment

In this globalized world, whether it is developed or developing countries, their dependence on the international market is constantly deepening, which has also led to increasingly fierce trade competition.At present, my country has become the largest victim of global anti-dumping and safeguards measures, and the trade friction and trade protection suffered have also increased.

2.The problem of overcapacity

Compared with developed countries, our petrochemical industry does have many unresolved problems.For example, there are a large number of enterprises, a small scale, and they are also scattered.The technical content and added value of products are relatively low, and the innovation ability is insufficient. Not to mention the scientific and technological achievements of independent intellectual property rights, there are very few.

3.International oil prices continue to be high

Because our country has limited petroleum energy storage, and the prices of domestic energy sources such as coal and electricity have continued to rise, it is more dependent on imported energy.

4.Environmental protection

If the chemical industry is to take the road to cleanliness, it must change.The future development of China's chemical industry is mainly focused on these six aspects.First, the development of agrochemicals.After all, the focus of the fertilizer industry is to improve the competitiveness of domestically produced fertilizers, thereby ensuring its dominant position in the domestic market.The second is to do a good job in supporting the key industries of the national economy.The third is to accelerate the development of fine chemical products and improve the refinement rate of the chemical industry.Fourth, strengthen the integration with petrochemical industry and optimize raw materials and technical routes.The remaining five or six development priorities are to strengthen energy conservation, environmental protection and resource conservation, as well as to give full play to the advantages of the western region and accelerate the development of the western chemical industry.

Of course, in view of these problems, we have also proposed corresponding solutions: 1.Formulate corresponding policies to adapt to changes in the trade environment; 2.Rationalization of industrial layout; 3.Seek alternative resources; 4.“Energy saving, consumption reduction, emission reduction” and so on.

Since its own history, the chemical industry has always been inseparable from the development of productive forces and the protection of the necessities of human society.It can be said that it has played an important role in the historical industrial revolution and the contemporary new technology revolution. In other words, the chemical industry has an important position in the national economy.With the continuous development of the times, the chemical industry also needs to be gradually promoted and developed forward.
