Fine chemical industry is the abbreviation of the production of fine chemicals industry. Most of them use basic chemical raw materials and produce fine chemicals with excellent performance, high added value and stable quality through complex and sophisticated technology. Fine chemical industry is one of the most dynamic emerging fields in today's chemical industry, and it is an important part of new materials. Fine chemical products have many types, wide range of uses, and high degree of industrial relevance, directly serving many industries in the national economy and various fields of high-tech industries. Vigorously developing fine chemicals has become the strategic focus of countries all over the world to adjust the structure of the chemical industry, improve the energy level of the chemical industry, and expand economic benefits.

Fine chemical products have many types, high added value, wide application and high degree of industrial correlation. It is not only one of the most dynamic emerging fields in the chemical industry today, but also an important pillar industry of the national economy. From the perspective of industrial chain structure, its upstream includes raw materials such as petroleum and ore, and its downstream includes agriculture, textile industry, construction industry, paper industry, food industry, daily chemical production, electronic equipment and many other industries.

Fine chemical products are indispensable new materials for the development of high-tech industries and advanced manufacturing industries. They play a supporting and leading role in various fields such as national economy, national defense construction, social life and many related industries. Their scale and level are to a certain extent It determines the status and international competitiveness of countries and regions in the future world economy.

Fine chemical industry started from coal chemical industry. In the 1970s, limited by the technological route and economic benefits of coal chemical industry, major chemical companies such as Germany's BASF, Bayer, American DuPont and Japan's Teijin began to vigorously develop petrochemicals, and then gradually turned to fine chemicals. The adjustment of product structure and the innovation of technology in the chemical industry focus on the fine chemical industry. The development of fine chemical industry has become a worldwide trend, and fine chemical industry is also playing an increasingly important role in industrial application and economic development. important role.

my country's fine chemical industry started relatively late, and the overall technical level is relatively backward. Since the reform and opening up, with the development of China's economy and the improvement of scientific and technological level, my country's fine chemical industry has made great progress. Over the years of development, it has gradually formed a relatively complete industrial layout. Some fine chemical products have certain international competitiveness. It has gradually become an important processing and exporting place for fine chemical raw materials and intermediates in the world. However, compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in my country's fine chemical industry, which generally presents the characteristics of being large but not strong, "low-end surplus, high-end shortage", low refinement rate, and high dependence on foreign countries.

Fine chemical products have high requirements on technology and equipment, and the development cycle of new products is long and the investment is large. Due to the first-mover advantage, in the past, international industry giants in developed countries such as Europe and the United States had more advanced technologies in many fine chemical segments and occupied a higher market share.

In recent years, emerging markets represented by China have developed rapidly. Through technology introduction and independent research and development, product technology content and quality have been significantly improved, coupled with obvious cost advantages, and are increasingly favored by capital; at the same time, due to the fine chemical industry. The industrial chain is long and complex, and has the basis of global division of labor and cooperation. The fine chemical industry chain is showing a trend of shifting to emerging markets, and fine chemical companies in emerging markets are facing huge opportunities for industrial transfer.
