Modern Chemical Industry

In 2025, Fujian Province had 1,123 above-designated-size petrochemical enterprises. The cumulative year-on-year growth in industrial value-added was 8.6%, and the petrochemical industry achieved an operating revenue of RMB 498.68 billion. The province's petrochemical sector adheres to a development path of "less oil, more chemicals," continuously extending the industrial chain towards chemical new materials and high-end fine chemicals. Several relatively complete industrial chains have been formed. The industry is primarily distributed in the Meizhou Bay Petrochemical Base (including Quangang Petrochemical Industrial Park, Quanhui Petrochemical Industrial Park, and Shimenao Chemical New Materials Industrial Park) in cities like Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, and Putian; the Zhangzhou Gulei Petrochemical Base; the Fuzhou Jiangyin Chemical New Materials Zone (collectively referred to as "two bases, one zone"); and the Lianjiang Kemeng Chemical New Materials Industrial Park. The focus is on the layout of integrated refining and chemical projects and mid-to-downstream petrochemical chain projects. 9 enterprises, including Sinochem Quanzhou, Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company, Fuhaichuang, Shenyuan New Materials, Gulei Petrochemical, Baihong Petrochemical, SanShu Paint, Wanhua Chemical (Fujian), and Zhongjing Petrochemical, have industrial output exceeding RMB 10 billion.

New Materials

The development of Fujian's new materials industry is accelerating, with increasing industrial clustering effects, gradual improvement of the innovation system, and continuous enrichment of new material varieties. A group of leading backbone enterprises has been cultivated, including CATL, San'an Optoelectronics, Wanhua Chemical (Fujian), Xiamen Tungsten, Fuyao Glass, Tsingshan Group, Zijin Mining Group, Highsun Group, and Eversun Group. Leveraging the driving role of these leading enterprises, Fujian has established a number of distinctive new materials clusters with certain influence domestically and internationally, focusing on optoelectronic information materials, advanced chemical materials, new energy materials, advanced non-ferrous metal materials, rare earth new materials, stainless steel, and advanced textile functional materials. 4 industrial clusters have been selected as national-level characteristic clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises: the Fuzhou Changle Textile New Materials Cluster, the Shaowu Fluorine New Materials Cluster, the Jinjiang Sports Shoes Raw and Auxiliary Materials Cluster, and the Wuping Display Module and Material Manufacturing Cluster. The Ningde Wanwu Stainless Steel Industrial Park has been recognized as a national-level new industrialization demonstration base.
