[Recent progress and policy recommendations for biomanufacturing technology in China]

Biomanufacturing is an emerging manufacturing paradigm that uses biological systems as its core tools and biomass as the main feedstock to achieve material synthesis and processing through biosynthesis and biotransformation. It is an important direction for the industrial application of cutting-edge research achievements in life sciences. The biomanufacturing industry has long chains involving a wide range of fields and a complex technical system. Existing studies on biomanufacturing are often characterized by fragmented technical classification, insufficient attention to engineering and product-development stages, and the lack of a unified analytical framework. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a three-tier technological framework consisting of biosystem construction technology, production process technology, and product development technology. It then systematically examines the current status, strengths, and challenges of biomanufacturing technology in China. On this basis, this paper puts forward recommendations for accelerating technological innovation and industrial development, thereby providing a reference for policy making and industrial planning.
