Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s environmental protection industry has developed rapidly. Since 2014, the environmental protection industry has been written into the government work report for many times, from building the energy conservation and environmental protection industry into a vibrant sunrise industry to a new pillar industry, from vigorously developing to cultivating and growing, from expanding the scope of the preferential catalogue of corporate income tax to improving the supporting policies for the environmental protection industry. With the construction of ecological civilization incorporated into the “five in one” overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the high degree of attention, the great intensity of work, the frequency of system introduction, and the unprecedented strictness of supervision and law enforcement have driven the rapid development of the market and led the growing environmental protection industry.

Guochengzhan, Secretary of the Party committee and President of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, said that the ecological environmental protection industry has made great progress and achieved remarkable results, strongly supported the fight to win the battle of pollution prevention and control, played an important role in the emergency response of major environmental pollution incidents, continuously improved the industrial service system, continuously improved the level of pollution prevention technology and technical equipment, and significantly improved the ability of environmental consulting and comprehensive environmental services, The total number of A-share listed environmental protection companies is close to 180.

Even during the epidemic period, the operating performance of Shandong Yantai Jinzheng Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. was not greatly affected. Since March this year alone, the company has sent several sets of cdro/cdnf equipment to shanneng Luxi mining Pengzhuang project, shanneng jujube Mining Group Gaozhuang project and Anhui Linhuan project. In the first quarter, the new contract value of this high-tech enterprise in the water treatment industry exceeded 200million yuan. “We will actively respond to various national environmental protection policies and combine market demand to launch products, technologies and solutions with higher quality and lower cost.” Mu Yan, deputy general manager of the company, said.

The rapid development of Jinzheng environmental protection is also a reflection of the development of the industry. With the deepening of the battle for pollution prevention and control, the environmental protection industry has achieved sustained and rapid development driven by the demand for ecological and environmental protection and the innovation of environmental science and technology.

According to the report on the development of China’s environmental protection industry (2021) jointly prepared by the Department of science, technology and finance of the Ministry of ecological environment and the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, the overall scale of the ecological environmental protection industry has maintained growth, and the industry’s contribution to national economic development and employment has further improved.

According to the data, China’s total environmental governance revenue in 2020 was 1.95 trillion yuan, and the compound annual growth rate of China’s environmental governance revenue in the past decade was about 20%. There are about 3.2 million employees in the ecological and environmental protection industry, accounting for 0.43% of the total number of employed people in China, an increase of 0.31 percentage points over 2011.

LV Ben, a first-class researcher from the Department of science, technology and finance of the Ministry of ecological environment, introduced that in 2020, the revenue of environmental protection enterprises in Guangdong, Beijing, Hubei, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces (cities) exceeded 100billion yuan, and the revenue of environmental protection enterprises in the six provinces (cities) accounted for more than 2/3 of the country in total; The solid waste treatment and recycling sector has become the segment with the largest revenue scale, the highest profit margin and the fastest growth in the eco-environmental protection industry, followed by the water pollution prevention and air pollution prevention and control. The combined revenue of the three fields accounts for nearly 90%. In recent years, the industrial structure of ecological and environmental protection has been rapidly optimized. The formation of a modern environmental service system centered on new models and new business forms such as third-party governance, comprehensive environmental services, environmental stewardship, “Internet +” has accelerated, and the revenue of environmental services accounts for more than 60%.
