After decades of development, China's reflective material industry gradually into the mature stage, few have appeared on a larger scale of production, production technology and mature technology, superior product quality reflective material production of large enterprises. Emergence of such enterprises not only to promote the industry as a whole level of technology improved rapidly, while its full use of its technological advantages, to optimize product quality, product variety.
Reflective material originated in people's consciousness gradually increased safety at night, the last century, 20 years, people under the cat by the night lights and yellow
light reflected strong principles, invented the opal to create signs reflective signs. In 1939, the first piece of reflective signs use in Minnesota, after some low-intensity
reflective products also have been put into the market. 1840s, "engineering grade" reflective film is widely used in the beginning of the road signs traffic signs. In
1950, glass microspheres and reflective fabric first appeared. In 1968, the United States ROWLAND brothers invented the micro-prism retroreflective technology.
In the early 1960s, came into contact with reflective material, in 1979 began the study of reflective material. In 1984, the United States 8M company, with its abundant
capital and advanced technology entered the Chinese market. A lot of technical training and promotional work, to the Chinese government to promote reflective film products are
widely used for making and processing of traffic signs, road making reflective film can be widely used in China.
Our reflective materials industry started late, but the overall development of faster, the development process can be divided into the following four stages:
Chinese reflective materials industry development history
| Phase | Time | Feature |
| The first phase (exploration period) | 1970s | Reflective material is introduced into China |
| The second phase (development period) | 1980s | Domestic raw materials |
| The third stage (mature period) | 1990s | Product variety, mature production technology |
| The fourth stage (promotion period) | 21st Century | New products and gradually expand the production process optimization |
Booz Data Research Center released the "Analysis of Chinese reflective materials market situation and investment prospects 2014-2018 research report," pointed out
back in 1996. Reflective film development and production of Chinese products has already begun. But, after all, is a product of reflective film optics, high-tech products of
polymer physics, chemical process and other related micron technology-intensive. Due to the large production of technical difficulty, not supporting production equipment.
Domestic product quality reflective film once stayed at a low level stage, combined with reflective film products of high technical standards, investment, domestic demand rigor,
domestic reflective film has been stuck in development of the state "bottleneck" type of request. Unable to meet the high market demand for high-grade highways, so
China must import 13 per year for about $ 20 million of reflective film products.
But after nearly a decade of technological innovation to explore, in recent years, China reflective material manufacturers have completely mastered the production process of
reflective film, and began to form large-scale production, and more than half of the products are exported to foreign countries are widely used.
The past two years, the Chinese market into the international market integration and the knowledge economy and information into the characteristics of accelerated. In the
reflective film market demand pull doubled, each manufacturer of reflective film reflective film advance further increase the intensity of production scale, production of
reflective film can improve the rapid development and technology development.
After decades of development, China's reflective material industry gradually into the mature stage, few have appeared on a larger scale of production, production technology
and mature technology, superior product quality reflective material production of large enterprises. Emergence of such enterprises not only to promote the industry as a whole
level of technology improved rapidly, while its full use of its technological advantages, to optimize product quality, rich product range, reflective materials for our industry
to develop a broader domestic and foreign markets. Future development of the domestic industry, the reflective material will focus on the performance of large enterprises in the
industry overall strength of continuous improvement, the combined effect of its capital, technology, equipment, market share will become increasingly apparent.
