The first draft of the 12th Five-Year Plan for building materials highlights five changes

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently held a national symposium on raw materials industry in Changchun City. The meeting discussed the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” drafts for building materials and new materials industries. At present, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for petrochemicals, iron and steel, building materials, and new materials industries has all formed a framework and completed the first draft, and is widely soliciting opinions from all walks of life.

According to the contents of the five major industry plans disclosed in the meeting, building materials, we must vigorously develop a recycling economy. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the building materials industry must strictly control the total amount, prevent blind expansion and redundant construction, and accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity. We must promote deep processing of products and actively develop new building materials such as energy-saving and environmental protection, and thermal insulation. Actively develop the third-party logistics and other building materials production service industries. Supporting enterprises that conform to national industrial policies and planning layout, focusing on quality varieties, energy saving, environmental protection, improvement of equipment, and safety production, etc., carry out technological transformation and upgrading. We must vigorously implement energy-saving emission reduction and recycling economy, comprehensively improve the level of energy efficiency in the production of building materials, and promote the comprehensive utilization of resources in industries such as cement, cement concrete and its products, and wall materials.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the building materials industry faced an increase in uncertainties in economic development, excess capacity in most sub-sectors and increased market competition. In the future, the energy saving and emission reduction of building materials industry will remain the focus of work. The control of production capacity is still a high-pressure trend. The level of structural adjustment is still worthy of attention, and the strategy of going global will continue to be implemented. Exchange rates, tax rates, and interest rates, as three important issues, will reflect future policy orientation. National policy adjustments, such as the main functional area strategy, will have a huge impact on the building materials industry. Building materials to the countryside will be one of the development trends.

Experts predict that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the development of China's building materials industry will enter a major turning point. Change from traditional industries to emerging industries, from decentralized to centralized development, from material manufacturing to product manufacturing, from high-carbon production to low-carbon production, from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing . Basic raw materials such as cement, plate glass, ceramics, and sintered wall materials no longer have more room for market development. The upgrading of housing consumption, the advancement of building industrialization, and the development of strategic new industries will provide greater development space for the development of building materials industry.
