Abstract: China is one of the main producers and consumers of chemicals in the world. With the newly-launched projects brought on stream by the private-owned enterprises like Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co., Ltd. and the foreign-funded enterprises like ExxonMobil, China’s chemical market gradually comes under competition from a multiple of suppliers, such as giant State-owned petrochemical enterprises, coal chemical enterprises, privateowned petrochemical enterprises, local petrochemical enterprises, foreign-funded enterprise, Chinese-foreign joint ventures, and importers. Meanwhile, influenced by slowdown in global economic growth and concentrated release of newly-additional production capacity, the world chemical industry sees a profit decline and a stern situation. It is impossible for an enterprise to have competitiveness in the era of market globalization without adapting itself to the environmental changes. Speed, creation, high quality and cost-effectiveness hold the key to the new competitiveness that meets the environmental demand. China’s chemical industry should complete the transition from dependence on technological imports to technological independence, from the initial resource-processing stage to the middle and high stages, and from extensive management stage to fine management stage. Importance should be attached to the key bottlenecks affecting chemical industrial development at the State level and corporate level, such as lack of independent technology in the field of high-molecular materials, sternness of product homogenization, and heavy dependence on imports of high-end products.
