Fine chemical industry is an important component of petrochemical and chemical industry. It includes two parts: traditional and new fields. The rate of fine chemical industry has become one of the main signs to measure the level of chemical development in a country or region. At present, there are more than 100 thousand varieties of fine chemicals in the world. The developed countries such as the United States, Western Europe and Japan have the most sophisticated chemical industry, which represents the development level of fine chemical industry in the world. With the development of industrialization in developing countries, the demand for fine and specialty chemicals is increasing.

China along with raising the level of economic development, fine chemical industry has made great progress, and the structural adjustment of the domestic chemical industry in recent years has been to support the development of high-end chemical products, chemical enterprises to actively encourage import substitution, to the production of high value-added, high-tech products as a policy oriented. The rapid development of Chinese fine chemical industry, not only to meet the basic needs of the development of the national economy, and some fine chemical products, but also has a certain international competitiveness, become fine chemical raw materials and intermediates of the processing of the world's most important export, fine chemical products have been widely applied to various fields of national economy and the people in our daily life.　

According to the relevant statistical data show that the total amount in Chinese has become one of the world's major production of fine chemical products in dye production has been ranked first in the world, pesticide ranked second, ranked fourth in the overall coating; fine chemical industry rate has reached about 40%. All kinds of fine chemical products not only meet the needs of the national economic development, but also have many products in the international market, and some even occupy a decisive position. China's fine chemical industry is ushering in the golden age of rapid development. But at present, China's pesticide, dyes, coatings, rubber processing and other traditional fine chemical industry is facing ' quantity surplus and quality is not enough '. After decades of development, China's fine chemical industry has reached a key point, and changing ideas and strengthening innovation will become an inevitable choice for industrial revitalization.　

Especially in the financial crisis, due to the uniqueness of the market and technology, most of the fine chemicals have been hurt much less than the ordinary chemical products. Fine chemicals have strong dependence on proprietary technology and fast market transformation. They belong to the fast forward and fast emerging industries. The fine chemical industry has many categories, involving a wide range and is greatly affected by industrial policies. From the point of view of structural adjustment and technological progress, intensive operation is the direction of the development of China's fine chemicals in the future. In many parts of China, the chemical industry parks have been set up, and preferential policies have been given. Many of these chemical parks have highlighted the characteristics of fine chemicals. Such a pattern will be conducive to the fine chemical industry upstream and downstream convergence and matching, will greatly promote the development of fine chemical industry, the future development prospects.
