At present, many countries are actively layout, focusing on the development of carbon fiber industry as an important support to seize the commanding point of the next round of industrial and national defense competition. Taking the automobile industry as an example, according to Cao Du, President of Chang'an Automobile Design Institute, the application of carbon fiber materials in the vehicle body can greatly reduce the vehicle weight, and every 10% reduction of the vehicle weight can reduce the fuel consumption by 6% - 8%, reduce the emissions by 5-6%, and help to improve the acceleration and braking performance of the vehicle. For this reason, Japan plans to invest 2 billion yen in the next five years to support the cooperation between carbon fiber raw materials enterprises and automobile engine plants, while the US Department of energy will provide 21.75 million US dollars for similar projects this year and next.
 
"If Ford's creation of assembly line production is the first revolution in the automotive industry, then carbon fiber + new energy may be the second automobile revolution. As the world's largest auto production and sales country, China must grasp the trend of auto development in the future. If China's brand cars do not have an early layout, they may be abandoned again. " Cao Du looks urgent.
 
It is understood that in order to develop the carbon fiber industry and support the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, the Ministry of industry and information technology formulated the action plan for accelerating the development of carbon fiber industry in 2013. In August 2014, the China carbon fiber and composite material industry development alliance was also established in Beijing.
 
"Subject to the problems of low R & D capacity and uneven quality, Chinese enterprises have a weak voice in the international carbon fiber market, which makes some international carbon fiber industry giants take advantage." On the same day's forum, many insiders believed that China still needs to continue to increase the guidance and support for the carbon fiber industry.
 
"No scale does not become an industry. In the future, the focus is on the issue of industrial scale and industrial chain." Professor Yu muhuo pointed out that in the face of the broad application prospects of carbon fiber, we should give full play to the will of the state, cultivate a number of industrial chain enterprises, cultivate 1-2 leading enterprises in each link, and jointly establish China's R & D capacity with scientific research institutes to support the leapfrog development of the industry.
