China's chemical industry is developing from large-scale to high-precision, and chemical companies are transforming one after another, which will inevitably bring more refined products. The emergence of these products will have a certain impact on the transparency of market information and give birth to a new round of industrial upgrading and aggregation.
This paper will take an inventory of some of the important industries in China's chemical industry and their most concentrated areas to reveal the impact of its history and resource endowments on the industry. We will explore which regions have a prominent position in these industries and analyze how these regions have influenced the development of these industries.
1. China's largest consumer of chemicals: Guangdong Province
guangdong is the largest consumer of chemicals in China, mainly due to its huge GDP. The total GDP of Guangdong Province reached 12.91 trillion yuan, ranking first in China, which promoted the prosperity and development of the consumer end of the chemical industry chain. In China's chemical logistics pattern, about 80% of the chemical products have a logistics pattern from north to south, and one of the important end target markets is Guangdong Province.
At present, Guangdong Province focuses on planning and developing five petrochemical bases, all of which are equipped with large-scale refining and chemical integration devices, which makes the chemicals in Guangdong Province basically realize the development of industrial chain, thus improving the refinement rate and supply scale of products. However, there is still a gap in market supply, which needs to be supplemented by northern cities such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while high-end new material products need to be supplemented by imported resources.

In addition, Xuzhou has also established a national R & D platform and more than 70 provincial R & D institutions in four professional fields, including tumor biotherapy and functional development of medicinal plants.
Yangzijiang Pharmaceutical Group in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, is one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in the province and even in China. In the past few years, it has repeatedly topped the top 100 list of China's pharmaceutical industry. The group's products cover anti-infection, cardiovascular, digestive, oncology, nervous system and other fields, many of which have high visibility and market share in the domestic and foreign markets.
To sum up, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Jiangsu Province plays a very important role in China. It is not only the largest producer of pharmaceutical products in China, but also one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in China.
