As a fundamental pillar for fostering new quality productive forces, constructing a modern industrial system and safeguarding national comprehensive security, the new materials industry underpins the core competitiveness of high-end manufacturing and cutting-edge technologies. Today's global industrial landscape is undergoing profound restructuring driven by four pivotal forces：intensifying geopolitical competition, worldwide carbon peaking and carbon neutrality transitions, in-depth integration of digital and intelligent technologies, and targeted iteration of materials spurred by diverse downstream application scenarios. In parallel, artificial intelligence, big data and high-throughput computing are revolutionizing the traditional trial-and-error R&D paradigm of materials science, enabling data-driven material screening, inverse structural design and intelligent process optimization to drastically cut research cycles and experimental costs. This paper systematically sorted out the opportunities and structural risks confronting the global new materials industry, and thoroughly reviewed the strategic arrangements rolled out by the United States, the European Union, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and Russia in 2025 and 2026. U.S. tied new materials closely to national defense and technological security, launching special programs including Crystal Palace and Carbon Crunch for military advanced materials, and consolidated independent supply chains for semiconductor materials through the CHIPS and Science Act, alongside initiatives to supervise critical mineral resources and apply AI to accelerate material innovation. EU centered its strategy on European strategic autonomy and green transformation, advancing the Advanced Materials Act and the Critical Raw Materials Act to diversify mineral supply, developed circular materials and set global green trade standards. Germany, UK, Japan and Russia had also introduced targeted national plans respectively, focusing on technological sovereignty, digitalized material R&D, military-civilian integrated innovation, rare earth recycling and import substitution amid geopolitical sanctions. After years of policy support and technological accumulation, China had achieved remarkable breakthroughs in lithium battery materials, rare earth functional materials and general carbon fibers, with a batch of national key innovation platforms and specialized sophisticated enterprises cultivated. Nevertheless, prominent internal and external vulnerabilities persisted. Externally, fierce global technological competition and restrictive trade policies created severe "bottleneck" risks, as high-end photoresists, single-crystal superalloys, core manufacturing equipment and other strategic materials still relied heavily on imports, and China lacked sufficient discourse power in formulating international material standards. Targeting six core strategic fields with prominent security risks, this study proposed targeted development frameworks for self-reliant industrial construction. For micro-nano electronic manufacturing, it highlighted localized substitution of bottleneck materials such as photoresists and electronic specialty gases, alongside R&D of low-dielectric materials and wide-bandgap semiconductor supporting materials to match advanced packaging and high-performance chip demands. For aerospace, it advocated full-chain independent manufacturing of high-performance carbon fibers, single-crystal superalloys and ceramic matrix composites to satisfy extreme service conditions of hypersonic vehicles and reusable rockets. For robotics and sensors, priorities covered lightweight structural alloys, rare earth permanent magnets and flexible sensing materials to support bionic robots and precision perception systems. In advanced nuclear energy, the paper stressed breakthroughs in radiation-resistant cladding materials and low-activation structural alloys to support fourth-generation reactors and space nuclear power sources. For marine engineering equipment, corrosion-resistant high-strength steel and deep-sea functional materials were key to advancing polar vessels and offshore renewable energy infrastructure. To systematically resolve industrial security challenges, this paper put forward multi-dimensional countermeasures covering five core dimensions. First, innovation-driven development shall be strengthened via the new whole-of-nation system to tackle generic bottleneck technologies, improve the commercialization system of scientific achievements and optimize intellectual property management for strategic materials. Second, supply chain resilience would be reinforced through domestic mineral exploration, diversified cross-border resource cooperation, national strategic mineral reserves and digital risk early warning platforms. Third, an integrated standard system aligned with international norms shall be established to fill standard gaps in high-end materials and implement full-lifecycle quality traceability management. Fourth, a multi-level talent training matrix would be optimized through industry-university-research integration, performance evaluation reforms and market-oriented incentive mechanisms to address talent shortages. Fifth, the industrial ecosystem would be upgraded through targeted policy support for industrial clusters, intelligent production line transformation and low-carbon circular manufacturing to advance high-end, intelligent and green development simultaneously. In summary, the safety of the new materials industry constituted an indispensable foundation of national industrial and scientific security. Faced with sweeping global industrial reshuffling and fierce international competition, China must advance coordinated upgrades across technological innovation, supply chain robustness, standardization, talent cultivation and industrial ecology. The conclusions and suggestions of this research could provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for constructing an independent, controllable, safe and efficient new materials industrial system, consolidating the bottom line of national scientific and industrial security, and fueling the steady growth of new quality productive forces and the advancement of new industrialization.
