Environmental protection industry policy analysis in 2023: National policies promote the development of the environmental protection industry

Environmental protection is a sunrise industry and the market has always been very prosperous. There are many environmental protection subdivisions. In recent years, the global environmental protection industry has entered a period of rapid development. With the strong support and encouragement of relevant national policies, the environmental protection market demand and competition are showing an upward trend.

Environmental protection industry policy background

The environmental protection industry is an industry with many sub-sectors, which can be roughly divided into sub-sectors such as environmental monitoring, atmospheric governance, water governance, solid waste disposal, soil remediation, and renewable resources. In each sub-industry, there are different sub-sectors. For example, solid waste disposal can be divided into sub-segments with completely different business models such as sanitation, domestic waste incineration power generation, food waste treatment, and industrial hazardous waste disposal.

Environmental protection industry, that is, environmental protection industry. Entering the 21st century, the global environmental protection industry has begun to enter a stage of rapid development, gradually becoming an important force supporting the growth of industrial economic benefits, and becoming an important goal and key for many countries to innovate and adjust their industrial structures. The environmental protection industry policy environment pointed out that with the continued rapid development of China's economy, the continuous increase of urbanization and industrialization processes, environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious, and the country is paying more and more attention to environmental protection. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, as the state increased investment in the construction of environmental protection infrastructure, which effectively stimulated the market demand for related industries, the overall scale of the environmental protection industry expanded rapidly, the industrial field continued to expand, the industrial structure was gradually adjusted, and the industrial level was significantly improved.

Since 2021, under the guidance of the "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral" policies, major energy conservation and environmental protection policies such as the "14th Five-Year Plan" involving energy conservation, consumption reduction, and emission reduction have ushered in a period of intensive release. The industry will fully enjoy the policy dividends and enter a new round of high prosperity cycle. After my country made its commitment to "carbon neutrality in 2030 and carbon peak in 2060", relevant departments such as the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, important provinces and large groups have taken active actions, and a series of measures have been introduced one after another. The policy environment of the environmental protection industry mentioned that at the end of October 2021, the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Carbon Peaking Before 2030", proposing ten major actions to peak carbon emissions, integrating carbon peaking into the entire process and all aspects of economic and social development, marking the "double-digit peak" The "carbon" curtain has officially opened, and environmental protection policies led by the "double carbon" policy have entered a period of intensive release.

The impact of environmental protection industry policies on the market is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Market demand: The introduction and implementation of environmental protection policies will strengthen social demand for environmentally friendly products and services and promote the marketization of environmentally friendly products and technologies.

2. Market competition: After the implementation of environmental protection policies, environmental protection companies will face more severe market competition. Companies will pay more attention to product and technology innovation and improving product quality to gain more market share.

3. Price changes: The implementation of environmental protection policies will increase the costs of enterprises, resulting in an increase in the prices of environmentally friendly products and services.

4. Corporate profits: After the implementation of environmental protection policies, companies will face more taxes and environmental protection expenses, which will have an impact on corporate profits.

5. Industry development: Environmental protection policies will promote the development and growth of the environmental protection industry, promote the continuous improvement of corporate technology and management, and promote the standardization and healthy development of the industry. The operating income of my country's environmental protection industry has increased from 1.15 trillion yuan in 2016 to 2.18 trillion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.65%, and is expected to exceed 3 trillion yuan in 2025. This means that the environmental protection industry not only has a huge market space, but also will continue to maintain a relatively high growth rate, providing a good market environment for the company's diversified business expansion.

Generally speaking, environmental protection policies drive the development of the environmental protection industry chain and promote the gradual standardization of the market, creating a good development environment. With the gradual release of market demand, the scale of the environmental protection industry is also gradually expanding.
