Abstract: The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China explicitly proposed the principle of adhering to intelligent, green, high-end and integrated development, charting the course for the petrochemical industry during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. Fostering the organic combination of new technologies, new industries, and the full elements and processes of petrochemical industry and promoting the integration of the petrochemical industry with future industries are the key to cultivating new quality productive forces and achieving high-quality development in the petrochemical industry. This paper systematically analyzes the challenges faced by the petrochemical industry in integrating with future industries from three dimensions such as integration direction and boundaries, implementation pathways, and outcome forms. Based on six major directions of future industries and their key fields, it analyzes the specific pathways for the integration of the six major directions with the petrochemical industry. Furthermore, it proposes countermeasures and suggestions from perspectives such as data governance and model construction, restructuring of raw material systems and optimization of production processes, and deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. The aim is to provide practical guidance for advancing the deep integration of the petrochemical industry with future industries.

Key words: petrochemical industry, future industries, integrated development, digital-intelligent empowerment, multi-energy coupling, process reengineering
