Industry Development Status of Normal-Pressure Sintered Silicon Carbide
Release time:
2022-01-03
As a new type of inorganic nonmetallic material, atmospheric-pressure-sintered silicon carbide ceramic products have been widely used in fields such as kilns, desulfurization and environmental protection, chemical industry, steelmaking, and aerospace. However, the application of these atmospheric-pressure-sintered silicon carbide ceramics is still at a relatively basic stage, and many potential application areas remain largely untapped, presenting a huge market opportunity. As for... Atmospheric-pressure sintered silicon carbide As ceramic manufacturers, we should continue to strengthen our market development, rationally increase our production capacity, and position ourselves prominently in new application areas for silicon carbide ceramics.
The upstream of this industry is primarily... Atmospheric-pressure sintered silicon carbide Smelting and micron powder production. The downstream sector of this industry covers a wide range of applications, including nearly all industries that require materials with high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
(1) Upstream industry
Silicon carbide powder and metallic silicon powder are the primary raw materials required by industry. China's silicon carbide production began in the 1970s. After more than 40 years of development, the industry has made significant progress. Smelting technologies, production equipment, and energy consumption indicators have all reached relatively high standards. Nearly 90% of the world’s silicon carbide is produced in China. In recent years, the price of silicon carbide powder has remained relatively stable. Metallic silicon powder is mainly produced in southwestern regions such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. During the summer when hydropower supplies are abundant, the price of metallic silicon powder tends to be relatively low; in winter, prices are slightly higher and more volatile, but overall remain relatively stable. Fluctuations in upstream raw material prices have a certain impact on the product pricing policies and cost levels of companies within the industry.
(2) Downstream industries
The downstream industry focuses on the application of silicon carbide ceramic products. Silicon carbide ceramic products not only come in a wide variety but also exhibit outstanding performance. They are extensively used in fields such as construction, sanitary ceramics, daily-use ceramics, magnetic materials, microcrystalline glass, industrial kilns, automobiles, water pumps, boilers, power plants, environmental protection, papermaking, petroleum, metallurgy, chemical engineering, machinery, and aerospace. As the superior performance of silicon carbide ceramic products gains increasing recognition across more and more industries, the scope of their applications will continue to expand. The healthy, sustainable, and rapid development of the downstream industry will provide the sector with vast market opportunities and promote the orderly growth of the entire industry.
As Atmospheric-pressure sintered silicon carbide The wide-ranging applications of ceramic products have led to a steadily growing market demand, attracting a significant amount of capital into the silicon carbide ceramics manufacturing sector. On the one hand, the silicon carbide industry has continued to expand in scale, with the original regional production centers gradually dispersing across the country. In just over a decade, the silicon carbide industry has experienced rapid development. On the other hand, as the industry continues to grow in size, it is also facing increasingly intense and unhealthy competition. Due to low barriers to entry, a large number of manufacturers have entered the market, resulting in diverse enterprise sizes and uneven product quality.
Some large enterprises are focusing on technological upgrades and the R&D of new products; their scale continues to expand, and their brand recognition and influence are steadily growing. Meanwhile, an increasing number of small manufacturers can only rely on low-price strategies to secure orders, leading to vicious competition within the industry. As competition in the industry intensifies, the sector will also show a trend toward polarization.
