Third, the gap between the inorganic non-metallic materials industry at home and abroad.
Although China's inorganic non-metallic materials industry has made great progress, there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries. It is mainly manifested in the following aspects:1Technical level: developed countries have mastered many core technologies in the field of inorganic non-metallic materials, while China is relatively lacking in this regard. This has led to a certain gap between the performance and quality of China's products and the international advanced level.
1) Production technology level: In the production process of inorganic non-metallic materials, domestic enterprises generally have problems such as high energy consumption, high pollution, and unstable product quality. Foreign enterprises pay attention to green and intelligent production, adopt advanced technology and equipment to improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption and reduce waste emissions. 2) New product research and development capabilities: foreign companies have invested heavily in the research and development of inorganic non-metallic materials, have strong research and development strength and innovation capabilities, and can continuously introduce new products and technologies. However, domestic enterprises are relatively lacking in innovation ability and R&D strength, and the R&D cycle of new products is long, and the homogenization phenomenon is serious. 3) Industrial standards and specifications: In the inorganic non-metallic materials industry, a complete set of industrial standards and specifications has been established abroad, and there are clear standards and requirements from raw materials, production processes to product testing, etc. However, domestic enterprises lack corresponding standards and norms, and the quality of products is uneven, which affects the healthy development of the industry. 4) Industrial chain supporting: In terms of inorganic non-metallic materials industry chain supporting, foreign countries have formed a complete industrial chain, from raw materials to terminal product applications. However, domestic enterprises have the problem of imperfect industrial chain support, especially in the field of high-end products, raw materials and equipment mainly rely on imports. 2.Innovation ability: Foreign enterprises have invested heavily in R&D, have many high-quality R&D talents, and have strong innovation ability. However, China's enterprises have relatively little investment in R&D and weak innovation capabilities.
1) R&D investment: domestic inorganic non-metallic material enterprises have relatively little investment in R&D and lack sufficient financial support. Foreign companies focus on R&D investment and continue to introduce new products and technologies. 2) Talent reserve: The domestic inorganic non-metallic materials industry lacks high-quality R&D talents, especially those with innovative capabilities. Foreign countries have a large number of high-quality R&D talents and strong innovation capabilities. 3) Technological innovation ability: domestic inorganic non-metallic material enterprises are relatively weak in technological innovation, lacking core technology and independent intellectual property rights. Foreign enterprises, on the other hand, pay attention to technological innovation and intellectual property protection, and constantly introduce competitive new products and technologies. 4) Innovation environment: The innovation environment of the domestic inorganic non-metallic materials industry is relatively poor, and there is a lack of good innovation atmosphere and policy support. Foreign countries have a sound innovation system and innovation policy, which provides strong support for the innovation and development of enterprises. 5) Achievement transformation: The domestic inorganic non-metallic materials industry has certain difficulties in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and lacks an effective transformation mechanism and platform. In foreign countries, it pays attention to the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and can transform innovation achievements into actual productivity. 3.Environmental awareness: developed countries pay attention to environmental protection in the production process of inorganic non-metallic materials, while China's enterprises need to strengthen their awareness and technology in environmental protection.
In foreign countries, due to the strictness of environmental protection regulations and the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the inorganic non-metallic materials industry attaches great importance to environmental protection. Many companies are actively adopting environmental protection measures, promoting green production and sustainable development, reducing energy consumption and waste emissions through technological innovation, and using renewable and recycled resources. At the same time, foreign industry associations and departments have also formulated a series of strict environmental protection standards and norms, providing clear direction and guidance for the environmental protection behavior of enterprises. In contrast, the environmental awareness of the domestic inorganic non-metallic materials industry is relatively weak. Although the state has also issued a series of environmental protection policies, the implementation and supervision still need to be strengthened. Some enterprises lack environmental awareness and sustainable development concepts, do not invest enough in environmental protection, and still adopt backward production technologies and highly polluting production methods. In addition, the treatment and reuse of waste in China is also relatively lagging behind, and the resource utilization rate is low, which has a certain negative impact on the environment. 4.Brand building: foreign enterprises are more mature in brand building, while Chinese enterprises are relatively lagging behind in brand building, which affects international competitiveness.
1.Brand awareness: Domestic enterprises have relatively weak awareness of brand building, and lack awareness and investment in the long-term value of the brand. Foreign enterprises pay attention to the shaping and maintenance of brand image, and regard brand as an important part of the core competitiveness of enterprises. 2.Brand positioning: Domestic enterprises are relatively vague in brand positioning, lacking a clear target market and differentiated competitive advantages. Foreign companies have clarified their brand positioning through in-depth research on the target market and met the market demand with unique products and brand images. 3.Brand communication: The investment and means of brand communication of domestic enterprises are relatively simple, and there is a lack of effective publicity and promotion strategies. Foreign companies have improved their brand awareness and reputation through diversified communication channels and creative marketing methods. 4.Brand value: Domestic enterprises lag behind in the evaluation and management of brand value, and lack effective management and maintenance of brand equity. Foreign companies pay attention to the management and promotion of brand value, and improve the market competitiveness and long-term value of the brand through continuous innovation and maintenance. 
In order to narrow the gap with developed countries, China's inorganic non-metallic materials industry needs to take effective measures. First of all, strengthen technology research and development and personnel training, and improve the ability of independent innovation. Secondly, promote environmentally friendly production methods and strengthen corporate environmental awareness. In addition, strengthen brand building and enhance international competitiveness. Only with continuous efforts can China's inorganic non-metallic materials industry usher in a broader space for development.
