Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Raw Materials Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). work, the relevant issues are now interpreted as follows.

1. Background of the "Plan"

The raw material industry includes petrochemical chemicals, steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials and other industries, as well as the new material industry. It is the foundation of the real economy, the basic industry that supports the development of the national economy and the key area to win international competitive advantages. The main force and the main battlefield for industrial green development. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and with the joint efforts of all parties, the transformation and upgrading of the raw material industry has achieved remarkable results, the comprehensive strength has grown steadily, and the international competitiveness has continued to increase. However, the current shortcomings and bottlenecks are still prominent. There is a serious surplus of low-end products and insufficient supply of high-end products. The level of independent control of key materials, core process technologies and equipment is not high. Green and low-carbon development has a long way to go, and the level of digitalization is difficult to effectively support high-quality development. , problems such as the weak security capability of key strategic resources need to be solved urgently.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period for the high-quality development of the raw material industry, with many new changes in opportunities and challenges. From the perspective of opportunities, the construction of a new development pattern is accelerated, and the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market are further exerted, especially the demand for high-end materials in emerging fields and consumption upgrades, which provides a broad space for the sustainable and healthy development of the raw material industry. my country's market system of fair competition is improving day by day, especially the concentration of various resource elements in advantageous fields and enterprises, which provides basic support for the raw material industry to strengthen the resilience of the industrial chain. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is reshaping the global economic structure, especially the deep integration of new generation information technology and manufacturing industry, which provides a source of power for the transformation, upgrading and forging of new advantages in the raw material industry. From the perspective of challenges, in the face of the adverse current of economic globalization and the widespread impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the security risks of the industrial chain and supply chain have become prominent, and the difficulty of expanding the international market has increased significantly. In the face of the new situation in the new stage of high-quality development, the demand for major bulk raw material products such as steel, electrolytic aluminum, and cement will gradually reach or approach the peak plateau period, and the expansion momentum of large-scale and quantitative demand tends to weaken. In the face of the strong constraints of resources, energy and ecological environment, the hard task of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the people's new expectations for safe production, the task of green and safe development of the raw material industry is more urgent.

In the face of the new situation and new requirements, in order to implement the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the Outline of Vision 2035", accelerate the optimization, opening and high-quality development of the raw material industrial system, industrial and information The Ministry of Chemical Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Natural Resources jointly formulated the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Raw Materials Industry".
