New material development refers to the work of researching, discovering, developing and promoting various new materials on the basis of extensive use of modern science and technology. The development of new materials mainly includes the following areas: (1) Information materials, such as semiconductor materials, information recording materials, sensitive materials for sensors, and optical fibers. (2) New energy materials, including amorphous materials, high-density energy storage materials and superconducting materials. (3) Structural materials and new functional materials used under special conditions, including high-performance structural composite materials, high-performance engineering plastics, separation membranes and other polymer functional materials, new alloys, structures, sealing and Adhesive materials and biomedical materials, etc. (4) New building materials, including engineering structural materials and new building materials.
Market demand is an important consideration in the development of new materials. If new materials want to be widely recognized and applied in the market, they must first understand the market demand. Therefore, the analysis and research of market demand is very important. In the analysis of market demand, it is first necessary to understand the product positioning and market structure of the market in order to provide a clear market positioning and target users for new materials. Secondly, it is necessary to understand the demand characteristics and future trends of the market in order to provide reference and guidance for the development of new materials.
For market positioning, new material developers should choose product types and application fields suitable for the market according to their own advantages and technical characteristics. For example, the development of new materials for the automotive industry should focus on the technical characteristics of lightweight, energy saving and emission reduction, while the development of new materials for the electronics industry should focus on the technical characteristics of high integration and high reliability.
