This short review covers some particular aspects of the production of new materials under high pressures. Despite the fact that there is an extremely wide range of new high-pressure synthesized substances with unique properties, a commercial synthesis has been used up to date only for producing superhard materials - these are real treasures of today's industry. At the same time, as should be underlined here, high-pressure experiments often give scientists material with helpful hints of what new intriguing substances can exist in principle. This is true both for new superhard, semiconducting, magnetic, superconducting, optical materials already synthesized under pressure and a large number of hypothetic new polymers from low-Z elements.
