Until the end of 2012

the production of chemical fiber reached 38 million tons

accounting for 65% of global output

which is gradually to undertake the important task of leading global chemical industrial scientific and technological progress with the global fiber production shift focus to China. After decades of rapid development

China’s chemical fiber industry has formed a complete industrial chain system

including compatible scientific research

personnel training and equipment manufacturing sector

and have advanced production equipments

abundant technical force

the comprehensive products including conventional chemical fiber

high performance fiber

bio-based fiber

making china become the country which fibers are most widely used in the world. All these have laid a firm foundation for scientific and technological progress

but also are the favorable conditions to achieve the transformation and upgrading of the China’s chemical fiber industry. Present and future

scientific and technological progress of China’s chemical fiber industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) multi-functional and high differentiation of conventional fiber; (2) low-cost and quality improvement of high-performance fiber; (3) research and development bio-based fiber materials

large-scale production and market applications; (4) low-carbon production technologies of conventional fiber.
