Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's chemical fiber industry system construction has been continuously strengthened. Not only the conventional fiber field has maintained the international leading level, but also the high-tech fiber has achieved a major breakthrough and entered the ranks of advanced countries. Industry scale also ranks first in the world.

Statistics show that the domestic chemical fiber production in 2012 from 38.37 million tons, accounting for nearly 65% of the global proportion, accounting for 77% of the total fiber processing in China, exports of 2.47 million tons, to 2021 production exceeded 65 million tons, accounting for more than 70% of the global proportion, accounting for nearly 85% of the total fiber processing in China, exports of more than 5 million tons, It accounts for more than 50% of global trade, ranking first in the world.

Along with the expansion of scale, industrial structure adjustment of chemical fiber industry in China is also continuing to promote, especially since the "13th Five-Year plan", the advantage of enterprises in the industry to achieve rapid expansion through mergers and reorganization, industrial concentration significantly increased. The increase of production capacity concentration in the field of polyester civil filament is particularly prominent, with the first six enterprises' production capacity concentration reaching 61.5% in 2021, 27.5 percentage points higher than that in 2012.

At present, China's chemical fiber industry maintains the international leading level in the field of conventional fiber, and it is in the global leading position in the five aspects representing advanced functional fiber -- ultra-high performance, intelligent, multi-functional, green and low-carbon, high added value; High-tech fiber achieved a major breakthrough, into the ranks of advanced countries; It has formed an industrial structure with complete varieties and complete industrial chain, and is the producer with the widest range of chemical fiber varieties in the world. Among them, the production scale of regenerated cellulose fiber, polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex and other traditional varieties ranked first in the world. The growth of domestic high performance fiber capacity and output is close to or over 100% during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, which has become a new economic growth point of the industry.

With the continuous breakthrough of the key technology of industrialization, the domestic high performance fiber and bio-based fiber show a strong momentum of development. The annual output of high performance fibers such as carbon fiber, aramid fiber, ultra-high relative molecular mass polyethylene fiber and continuous basalt fiber has exceeded 10,000 tons, and the market share has ranked among the top three in the world. Polyphenylene sulfide fiber, polytetrafluoroethylene fiber and other products are also developing steadily; Large-scale production of bio-based fibers such as Lyocell fiber, bamboo pulp fiber, polylactic acid (PLA) fiber, bio-based polyamide fiber and bio-protein fiber has been achieved. Seaweed fiber, chitosan fiber, PHBV/PLA blend fiber, hemp pulp fiber also achieved stable production.

At the same time, with the development of refining and chemical integration and the continuous improvement of industrial chain supporting, China's chemical fiber industry has realized the integrated development mode of the whole industrial chain from crude oil refining and chemical fiber textile. By 2021, China's chemical fiber industry has formed a number of internationally competitive large enterprise groups, such as polyester head enterprises represented by Hengli Group, Rongsheng Group, Hengyi Group, Shenghong Group, Tongkun Group, Xinfengming Group, etc., nylon head enterprises represented by Hengshen Group, Jinjiang Technology, etc. Zhongfu Shenying, Guangwei cladding material, Jiangsu Hengshen, Jilin carbon Valley as the representative of the carbon fiber head enterprises. Hengli Group, Risesman Group, Hengyi Group and Shenghong Group are listed on the Fortune Global 500 list.

In recent years, the new technology, new technology and new equipment of leading chemical fiber enterprises have been adopted, representing the most advanced productive forces in the world, and promoting our chemical fiber industry to continue to be at the forefront of the development of chemical fiber industry in the world.
