The 14th Five - Year Plan for the Rubber Industry was released, aiming to create new glories in the new era.

During the "12th Five - Year Plan" period, the growth rate slowed down, and the industry entered an important period of transition from the old model to a new one. The output of rubber products continued to grow, with a richer variety of specifications. The scale of enterprises increased significantly, and the industrial concentration improved to some extent. The technological innovation capabilities of enterprises were enhanced, promoting the adjustment of the product structure. The proportion of energy - saving, environmentally friendly, safe, and high - tech products increased significantly. The integration of intelligence and informatization in the industry accelerated, and intelligent manufacturing began to take off. The overall strength of the industry was enhanced, laying a solid foundation for the transformation into a world - class rubber industry power.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, pursuing and promoting high-quality development became the theme. The rubber industry closely grasped the new connotation of important strategic opportunities, accelerated the optimization and upgrading of economic structure, enhanced technological innovation capabilities, and turned pressure into a driving force for high-quality economic development. Intelligent manufacturing characterized by digitalization, networking, and intelligence has become a new force, and green development and environmental protection have become the consensus of the industry. 
The guiding ideology of the "Plan" is to implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee under the guidance of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics for a new era. It adheres to the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing" and the general work principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability. With promoting high-quality development as the theme, deepening supply-side structural reform as the main line, and reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, the Plan takes the opportunity of building a new development pattern featuring a mutually reinforcing domestic dual circulation, with the domestic large circulation as the main body. It aims to thoroughly implement the innovation strategy, green and sustainable development strategy, digital and intelligent transformation development strategy, and build a number of competitive enterprise groups and industrial clusters, create a number of influential brands, and promote China's transition from a major rubber country to a powerful rubber country. 
The development goal of the "Plan" is for the rubber industry to achieve transformation through structural adjustment, technological innovation, green development, and the adoption of digitalization, intelligence, platformization, and greenification. This will drive quality, efficiency, and power changes, leading to higher-quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable, and safer development. Emphasis will be placed on improving product quality, automation level, informatization level, production efficiency, energy conservation and consumption reduction, environmental protection, industrial concentration, enterprise competitiveness, and economic benefits, accelerating the pace of building a strong rubber industry country. The total volume of the rubber industry should maintain steady growth, but with an average annual growth slightly lower than the current level, continuing to solidify China's scale influence and export share in the rubber industry. We aim to enter the intermediate stage of a strong rubber industry country by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2025).
