Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology Department of Social Development and China’s Biotechnology Development Center in Beijing 2017 China Life Science and Biotechnology Development Report, said, “Twelve-Five” since the rapid development of China’s biological industry, its composite growth rate reached more than 15%, 2015 industrial scale of more than 3.5 trillion yuan, to 2020 will reach 8 trillion to 10 trillion yuan, the value of the bio-industry to increase the share of GDP more than 4%.

The report believes that the biological industry is the main direction of China’s strategic emerging industries, for China to seize a new round of scientific and technological revolution and the commanding heights of the Industrial Revolution, accelerate the expansion of new industries, develop new economy, cultivate new kinetic energy, building a “healthy China” is of great significance.

At present, China in some areas and developed countries are comparable, even have some advantages. After years of development, China has reached the international advanced level in the fields of super hybrid rice breeding technology and application, transgenic plant research and so on, the animal somatic cell cloning technology is getting better, the development of new reactor and technology for wastewater treatment has made important progress, a large number of biotechnology achievements or patents have been declared, Or is in the early stage of production, a number of biotechnology public research and development platform initially formed.

Among them, China’s genetic testing services in the world has been a leading position, export drugs from raw materials to more technical content of the preparation of higher technology, high-end medical device core technology breakthrough significantly reduce the price of related products and services; Super rice yield exceeded 1000 kg, reached the international advanced level; Bio-fermentation industry product total ranked first in the world, bio-energy replacement fossil energy over 33 million tons of coal, in the forefront of the world.

At the same time, in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and other fields, a number of high-level, distinctive biological industrial clusters in the embryonic form. Relying on industrial base, China’s bio-industry development presents a cluster situation.

In addition, China’s export of bio-products has grown rapidly and its export structure has been optimized. With the transfer of multinational corporations to China, the rapid development of biotechnology outsourcing service industry, international cooperation in bio-industry has been actively promoted.
