材料产业是国民经济建设、社会进步和国防安全的物质基础。我国已进入工业化中后期，材料的作用显得尤为重要，开展新材料强国战略研究，对支撑我国制造强国战略实施具有重要战略意义。本文系统分析了国内外新材料产业发展现状、趋势以及存在的问题，梳理了国内外新材料产业政策，围绕未来新材料发展战略需求，研究提出新材料强国战略总体发展思路、强国特征和发展目标；聚焦先进基础材料、关键战略材料、前沿新材料及新材料“评价、表征、标准”平台建设等重点领域，研究梳理重点发展方向，并从构建新材料自主创新体系，建设新材料数字化研发平台、生产应用示范平台、资源共享平台，完善新材料质量技术基础体系，培育与新材料产业发展相适应的人才队伍等方面提出政策措施建议，以期为我国新材料产业发展和政府有关部门提供决策参考。

The material industry provides a material basis for national economic development, social progress, and national defense security. Materials are particularly important for China as it now enters the middle and late stage of industrialization. Conducting strategic research on new materials will help strengthen China’s manufacturing sector. In this article, we systematically analyze the development status, trend, and problems regarding the new material industry in China and abroad and summarize the domestic and foreign policies for the industry. After analyzing the future strategic demands for the new materials, we propose the overall idea, characteristics, and goals of the new material power strategy. The key direction of the strategy need to focus on fields such as advanced basic materials, key strategic materials, and frontier materials. An evaluation–characterization–standards platform should be established for new materials. Furthermore, we propose some policy suggestions to facilitate the development of China’s new material industry and provide a reference for the decision making by relevant government departments. Specifically, an independent innovation system for new materials should be constructed; platforms for digital R & D, production application demonstration, and resource sharing should also be established; the quality and technology infrastructure should be improved; and talent teams dedicated for the development of the new material industry should be created.
