June 11, 2013, the "Shenzhou" spacecraft on the 10th successful launch in constant Kyrgyzstan Research Limited production of high-tech fiber carbon fiber material following the "Shenzhou" after the 9th, another success for the "Shenzhou" No. 10 package, which became China one of the landmark achievements of carbon fiber industry development.

Although the level of development of the application marks the carbon fiber industry in particular aerospace, military, etc., but it is only a small part of the carbon fiber applications. In fact, as a physical-performance materials, carbon fibers are widely used in aviation, deep-sea development, wind power, automotive, construction, sports and leisure, and other industrial and civil fields. 2012, global CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced composites) maximum use is wind turbine blades, about 23 percent, followed by aerospace and defense industry, accounting for about 18%, while sports and leisure goods accounting for about 17%.

From the application of carbon fiber, the market in the field of aerospace, automotive and other already open, in the energy sector has not yet formed a stable market, even though the field of sports and leisure has been basically meet the application requirements, but does not have the advantage in terms of cost. How is the application of carbon fiber to explore a new path, relying on the application side to drive the development of sustainable and healthy development of the industry has become an urgent need to resolve the issue.

The problems for the industry, the development of the idea of carbon fiber is shifting.

October 2013, the Ministry issued a "carbon fiber industry to accelerate the development of the Action Plan." "Plan" clearly states that China should adhere to the principle of the development of carbon fiber industry development and the combination of downstream applications. Four Action "plan" put forward focused organization and implementation of the action, including the expansion of downstream applications, and clearly the specific objectives and paths: first, to protect the state's major engineering requirements. Around the aerospace, military equipment, and other major infrastructure performance requirements of high-end carbon fiber products, establish and improve the integration of upstream and downstream cooperation mechanism to protect the supply of superior performance, quality and stability of carbon fiber products. Complete carbon fiber composites in civil aerospace application verification key structural components, to achieve airworthiness requirements. Accelerate the demonstration and application of carbon fiber composites in bridge, artificial reefs and other major infrastructure.

Second, expanding industrial applications. Focus on wind power generation, power transmission, demand for oil and gas field exploration, automobile, pressure vessels, and support demonstration, guide production enterprises, research institutions and application design jointly develop various forms of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, components and finished products, accelerating the development of and expand the industrial applications market, driving the transformation and upgrading of related industries, the need to protect the development of strategic emerging industries.

Again, the ability to improve people's livelihood. Increase the carbon fiber reinforcement in the construction field range of applications, improve the safety factor buildings; continue to become bigger and stronger carbon fiber sports and leisure products, to meet the public's demand for cultural and sports life; actively develop carbon fiber products in the safety, health, environmental protection, etc. applications, continue to meet the needs of economic and social development.

"In the past the country's main support for carbon fiber production, and now even more to support the development of applications after the applications want bigger, in turn, promote the development of manufacturing enterprises." In this regard, the industry said, carbon fiber and downstream industry very closely related degree , to develop a new product carbon fiber downstream manufacturers of carbon fiber alone is difficult to complete. Therefore, the government should give full play to coordinate configuration capabilities through alliances and other industry organizations, focused around the development of downstream industries, building industry, academia, research, and a complete industrial chain with a wide range of coordinated development. Meanwhile, the urgent need to develop and implement supportive policies in place. "Land, taxes, subsidies, tariffs, research and other policies if timely implementation of enterprise research and innovation initiative will be mobilized."
