From aerospace to electronic information, and from biomedicine to new energy, new materials are playing an increasingly vital role in driving industrial upgrades and technological innovation. In the context of the ongoing global economic restructuring, the development of the new materials industry not only reflects a nation’s scientific and technological strength and its capabilities in high-end manufacturing, but also represents a key area of international competition — both now and in the future.

A major external driver for the growth of new materials is the global shift in industrial structures. Each wave of industrial development brings about new demands for innovative materials. Historically, industrial revolutions have often led to the flourishing of upstream material industries.

For example:

• The U.S. holds a leading position in multiple sectors, enabling its material companies to dominate in nearly every field.
• Europe’s strength in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, and aviation industries has given it a competitive edge in composite, chemical, and biomedical materials.
• The Soviet Union’s Cold War-era advancements in aerospace propelled its leadership in metals and related materials.
• Japan’s advanced electronics industry positioned it at the forefront of semiconductor and nanomaterials.
• In recent years, China’s rapid growth in new energy vehicles has solidified its global leadership in battery materials and related technologies.
