BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CCID Consulting (HKSE: 08235):
I. The strong will get stronger.
1. The eastern coastal area with innovation strengths will gather high-end resources.
The Bohai Sea Rim is home to headquarters of many large enterprises and key institutions of higher learning, where domestic scientific & technological innovation resources are highly concentrated; with a well-developed manufacturing industry, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are important R&D and production bases for new materials, as well as important consumer markets for new materials products.
2. Central China will receive capacities transferred from the eastern coastal area.
With geographical advantages linking the East and the West and its unique industry and resource advantages, the central area is an important production base for energy and raw materials in China, and will become a major destination for the industrial transfer of the eastern area.
3. Western China will develop a distinctive industrial cluster with its abundant mineral and energy resources.
With abundant mineral and energy resources, the western area will develop an industrial cluster featuring new rare earth materials, rare metal materials, special rubber and high-performance fluorine and silicone materials.
II. The regional division of labor will be clearer.
1. The well-developed eastern coastal area will become the major source of innovative new materials
The big cities Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen will be leaders in innovation.
Beijing, the capital city, is the country’s innovation center of the new materials industry. It boasts more than 60 new materials research institutes undertaking nearly half of the country’s basic new materials research and R&D projects.
As one of the cities which absorb the most foreign investment, Shanghai is an important industrial base for basic raw materials and an R&D and production base for new materials.
Shenzhen, with innovative SMEs taking the lead, is an important R&D and production base for the world’s electronic and IT materials, as well as an important R&D and production base for lithium ion battery in China.
2. The central and western areas will become the major production area of modified new materials.
Chongqing, Luoyang, Wuhan, Baotou and Baoji will be the key cities in the central and western areas.
Chongqing has noticeable strengths in novel light alloy materials (aluminum-magnesium alloys). Luoyang has seen a fast growth in the fields of polysilicon, titanium alloys, magnesium alloys and macromolecular materials. Wuhan is an important R&D and production base for optoelectronics information materials and metal materials in China. Baotou is the major production base for the world's light rare earth. Baoji is China's largest R&D and production base for titanium and titanium alloys.
III. Various bases will drive the development of regional clusters.
By the end of 2011, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology had approved 122 state-level new materials industrial bases, including 32 new industrialization demonstration bases and 90 new high-tech industrialization bases. Each industrial base has its unique advantages, either holding abundant natural resources, or being market-oriented, or being supported by R&D technologies.
The new materials industrial clusters are also playing an increasing demonstrative role for their surrounding areas. With Shanghai as its center, the Yangtze River Delta has developed into an innovation-spreading base of new material technologies influencing its surrounding areas; the Pearl River Delta featuring special materials bases are driving development in Northwestern Guangdong Province; leveraging the technical strengths of the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Bohai Sea Rim is seeing emerging novel iron and steel materials and semiconductor materials bases in Hebei Province.
