BEIJING, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — China has accounted for 43 percent of the world's nanotechnology patents filed over the past 25 years, making it the global leader in this area, according to a white paper released Sunday.
More than 1.07 million nanotechnology patents were issued worldwide between 2000 and 2025, including 464,000 in China. The number of such patents in China exceeds the combined total of the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea, according to a white paper titled “China Nanotechnology Industry 2025,” which was released at a nanotechnology industry forum held in the Chinese capital.
According to the document, China's nanotechnology patents mainly cover areas such as semiconductor devices, catalytic chemistry, biomedicine and new materials. Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Suzhou lead in semiconductors, while biomedicine patents are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranks first among the world's patent holders with 23,400 patents in this field. The transfer and licensing rate of nanotechnology patents in China has exceeded 8 percent, reflecting the continuous improvement of commercialization efficiency.
As of May 2025, the number of nanotechnology enterprises in China exceeded 34,500, of which 739 were listed, with a total employment of 9.92 million. The global nanotechnology market size is projected to reach US$1.5 trillion by the end of 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of over 17 percent from 2018 to 2025, the document said.
The above-mentioned industry forum is one of the sub-forums of the 10th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology, which is being held in Beijing from Saturday to Monday. The event is organized by the National Nanoscience Center of China.
The conference featured 7 leading scientists from around the world. More than 600 renowned scientists presented reports on 15 current topics in the field of nanotechnology, demonstrating current scientific achievements in this area.
At the opening ceremony of the event on Saturday, conference chairman Bai Chunli said nanotechnology serves as a major driving force to achieve breakthroughs in strategic fields such as green energy, biomedicine and information technology, accelerating the formation of new productive forces.
The rise of artificial intelligence has opened up revolutionary opportunities for nanotechnology, profoundly transforming the research paradigms in this field. In the future, further efforts will be made to strengthen basic research, improve the efficiency of applied research, deepen international cooperation, and further leverage the key role of nanotechnology in global innovation and development, added Bai Chunli, who is an academician of the CAS.
First organized in 2005, the above-mentioned conference has already been held in Beijing for 9 times. -0-
