It is of great scientific significance and practical value to study soft matter and complex fluid systems by means of the unique conditions of the microgravity environment. This paper presents the characteristics of soft matter, complex fluids, and the related microgravity research. Notably, the establishment and operation of the China Space Station have provided strong support for the microgravity research on soft matter and complex fluids. It summarizes the domestic and international research status in the field of microgravity research on soft matter and complex fluids, and analyzes the challenges and difficulties including limited space resources, experimental technologies and equipment limitations, and the integration of theory and experiment. Looking forward, it identifies the key issues in the future microgravity research on soft matter and complex fluids, and puts forward the vision of developing more advanced microgravity experimental equipment and technologies. Given the nature of the microgravity research on soft matter and complex fluids, it is recommended to combine the multidisciplinary knowledge such as physics, chemistry, biology, and materials sciences for interdisciplinary and cross−institutional studies. Meanwhile, international cooperation should be carried out to jointly promote the vigorous development of this research field.
