新材料是新兴产业和未来产业发展的根基，是抢占科技和经济发展制高点的重要领域，也是我国推进新型工业化的重要驱动力。本文梳理了新材料在信息、能源、生物、深空与深海探测等领域的发展趋势，发现新材料联用或与其他学科、领域的深度融合正在成为新材料发展的重要特点；系统分析了我国新材料产业在规模、技术创新能力、企业和集群等方面的发展现状，总结了新材料产业发展存在的关键原材料依赖进口、核心装备尚未实现自主可控、高端产品自给率不高、部分重点产品缺乏应用迭代、标准和评价体系不完善等问题；提出了面向新兴产业亟需发展的9 个重点方向以及面向未来产业亟需布局的7 个重要方向。为推动新材料产业的高质量发展，研究建议：着力筑牢新材料产业发展根基，扎实提升新材料产业链水平，营造良好的产业发展生态环境，完善产业发展配套政策。

New materials are the foundation of emerging industries and future industries, which is an important field to seize the strategic commanding heights in science and economic development and an important driving force for China to promote its new industrialization. This study analyzes the application trend of new materials in the fields of information, energy, biotechnology, and deep-space and deep-sea exploration, and finds that the combination of new materials or deep integration with other disciplines or fields is becoming an important feature of new materials development. Moreover, it analyzes the development status of the new material industry in China from the aspects of industrial scale, technological innovation capability, enterprises, and industry clusters, and summarizes the problems regarding the development of the industry. For instance, key raw materials of the industry still rely on imports, the core equipment cannot be independently produced, the self-sufficiency rate of high-end products is insufficient, some key products lack application iteration, and the standards and evaluation systems require improvement. Nine and seven key areas are proposed for the development of the emerging industries and future industries, respectively. Furthermore, we propose the following suggestions to promote the high-quaility development of the new material
industry of China: strengthening the foundation for new material industry development, improving the industry chain of new materials, creating a sound environment for industrial development, and improving the supporting policies for industrial development.
