On July 5, a reporter learned from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) that China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" will prioritize the development of three key types of new fibers: high-performance, differentiated, and environmentally friendly fibers. The plan also aims to accelerate the production of terephthalic acid (PTA), a material in high demand in the market. By the end of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the contribution rate of new products in three major chemical fiber raw materials—xylene, ethylene glycol, and others—is expected to reach 50%.
In 2005, China’s chemical fiber output reached 16.29 million tons, making it the world's largest producer. Notably, domestically developed fibers such as ultra-high-strength high-modulus polyethylene, carbon fiber, polypropylene terephthalate (PTT), aramid 1313, and high-performance ultra-fine fibers have played critical roles in aerospace, military, and specialty applications. However, the development of raw materials for these fibers has lagged behind. In 2005, the average import dependency for chemical fiber raw materials exceeded 60%, with PTA and ethylene glycol reaching 56.4% and 78%, respectively. Caprolactam (CPL) and acrylonitrile (AN), key components in nylon and acrylic production, had import dependencies of 66% and 31%.
According to officials at the NDRC, over the next five years, China will expedite the approval of projects for chemical fiber raw material production, encourage private investment, and gradually boost self-sufficiency in key materials like PTA, paraxylene, and ethylene glycol. This will strengthen the integration of the chemical fiber industry chain and promote the growth of polyester and related industries.
Additionally, China plans to develop advanced, large-scale, and precision technical equipment for polyester production, advance large-scale polymerization technology for nylon, and accelerate the creation of multifunctional and differentiated fiber varieties. The focus will also be on improving clean production and resource recycling in chemical fiber enterprises. By the end of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, energy consumption per unit of output is expected to decrease by 10% to 15% compared to 2005 levels.
The NDRC has identified several regions, including Xinjiang, Hubei, Northeast China, Sichuan, and Chongqing, as key areas for restructuring the chemical fiber industry. These regions will leverage their natural resources to build strong industrial clusters and support long-term sustainable development in the sector.
