The development prospects of organic chemistry are very broad, especially in the field of green chemistry and sustainable development has important trends.
Application areas and market demand of organic chemistry
Organic chemistry involves many fields, including fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticides and fertilizers. Especially in the high-end organic chemicals sector, such as high-performance materials and bio-based chemicals, Chinese companies are increasing their market share year by year, showing strong competitiveness 1. In addition, organic chemistry is also widely used in the fields of polymers, materials science and medical science, with more research funding, great demand for talents and optimistic prospects .
The latest research progress and future trend of organic chemistry
With the concept of "sustainable development", the research of organic chemistry has gradually shifted to the direction of green chemistry. Researchers from various countries pay special attention to green synthesis, asymmetric synthesis and other research directions. The integration of organic chemistry with other disciplines, such as life sciences and new green energy, will also drive its further development 3. In addition, computer-aided molecular design and simulation has also become an important research direction in organic chemistry.
Policy support and market environment for the organic chemistry industry
The Chinese government's support policies for the organic chemistry industry, such as encouraging innovation, optimizing industrial structure and strengthening environmental protection supervision, have affected the survival and development space of enterprises to a certain extent. With the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese organic chemical enterprises are also actively expanding overseas markets and seeking greater space for development .
The competitive landscape and major players of the organic chemistry industry
China's organic chemistry industry shows the characteristics of "large enterprises lead, small and medium-sized enterprises follow". Multinational companies such as BASF, Dow Chemical, Bayer, etc. occupy a dominant position in the high-end market with their technological advantages and brand influence. Domestic companies such as Wanhua Chemical, Yangzi Petrochemical, and ChemChina dominate the middle and low-end market. Through technological breakthroughs and flexible market strategies, innovative smes are gradually emerging and challenging the position of traditional giants 1.
To sum up, organic chemistry has broad prospects in green chemistry and sustainable development, and policy support and market demand provide a good environment for its development.
