On January 15th, the 2025 Annual Conference of the Carbon Fiber Branch of the China Chemical Fibers Association was held in Shanghai. Vice President of the China Textile Industry Federation, Duan Xiaoping; President of the China Composites Society and Chinese Academy of Engineering Fellow Yu Jianyong; President of the China Chemical Fibers Association, Chen Xinyu; Vice President Jin Gaoling, as well as representatives from major domestic carbon fiber production and related enterprises attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Secretary-General Zhang Zixin of the Carbon Fiber Branch of the China Chemical Fibers Association. 

Deng Xiaoping, the vice president of the China Textile Industry Federation, stated in his speech that: Firstly, we should firmly believe in the domestic carbon fiber industry. The carbon fiber and composite materials industry is an important part of the future industry. Secondly, we should recognize the development laws of the industry. In the long term, the industry is in a state of rapid development, but it is also bound to undergo multiple rounds of industry adjustments and survival of the fittest, and market concentration will gradually increase. Thirdly, the carbon fiber technology is in a period of rapid progress and iteration. Enterprises should take small steps and move steadily, maintaining advanced technology while seeking new downstream growth points, extending the industrial chain, and paying attention to technologies such as composite material repair, recycling and reuse, and hybridization. 

In his speech, Yu Jianyong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that domestic carbon fibers are currently in a new stage of steadily transitioning from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement in technology. The global demand for carbon fibers shows structural changes, providing excellent development space for the development of domestic carbon fibers. However, it is necessary to be clearly aware that the development of the carbon fiber industry also faces problems such as the need to improve production capacity utilization, and there is a gap between the performance of high-end products and that of the top international products. Special attention should be paid to how to achieve the development of applications, further strengthening the main position, increasing research and development investment, promoting the industrialization application of technological achievements, and achieving scale and cost-saving development to enhance core competitiveness.
