The International Petrochemical Congress analyzes investment trends: new materials may become the hottest air outlet

"What else can the petrochemical industry invest in now?" This is the most concerned issue of the participants at the second investment and merger development strategy conference held at the same time as the China International Petroleum and Chemical Industry Conference recently
.
In this regard, Wang Yu, executive deputy secretary-general of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance, said: "This conference focuses on the two fields of new materials and 'dual carbon', and strives to find a 'certainty'
for petrochemical investors in many uncertainties such as the international energy crisis and the food crisis.
”

Qiu Xiaofeng, Managing Director of Sinocc's petrochemical industry, elaborated on the significance of
attaching importance to the overall investment of the industrial chain from a macro perspective.
In his view, the fundamental reason for the slow development of domestic high-end fine chemicals is the lack of supporting downstream application scenarios
.
"There has to be a process of continuous feedback from downstream to upstream for the material to evolve
in the application.
" Qiu Xiaofeng said, "At present, advanced production capacity in aerospace, mobile phones, automobiles, semiconductors and other fields are concentrated overseas, and it is still difficult
for domestic companies to cut into these downstream markets or develop high-end fine chemical materials alone.
" He believes that for the bulk industrial chain that already has certain advantages, attention should be paid to the cultivation and development of the global market; For the high-end fine chemical industry chain, a cooperation group between domestic enterprises should be established, and joint efforts should be made to overcome common technical problems first, and then step into the international market competition
separately.

"In the next ten years, the domestic petrochemical industry will only have the outlet of 'double carbon', and the materials that are conducive to 'double carbon' must be advanced materials
.
" Yang Xianghong, an expert of the Expert Committee of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry International Capacity Cooperation Alliance, said
.
He suggested that petrochemical companies should pay more attention to the development trend
of four new materials: structured materials, energy materials, extreme environmental materials, and nanomaterials.
Yang Xianghong pointed out that in line with the development trends of lightweight, degradable and greening, ultra-high relative molecular weight polyethylene, silicones, fluorine materials, nylon and high-performance fibers are likely to be more widely used
in the future.
