Not only is it an international centre of scientific and technological innovation, but also the most concentrated region for plastics processing in China. The region’s huge market, together with its abundant resources and strong innovation, will help to further advance the plastics and rubber industries.
Post-pandemic opportunities
The post-pandemic era is seeing the acceleration of next generation 5G wireless technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, high-end medical products, antibacterial and antimicrobial surfaces for use in everything from cars to appliances, and more. Demand is expected to remain strong for new materials and technology, including those for key medical applications, safe and protective packaging, and digital production – as well as for recycled and recyclable materials.
Shenzhen is actively building a world-class 5G industrial cluster and is home to a complete 5G industry chain of globally competitive enterprises such as Huawei, ZTE, and more. The resources related to this concentrated cluster are helping to accelerate 5G application development.
