Wollastonite industry realizes overall profit
Recently, we have learned from relevant parties that the market order of wollastonite industry in China has gradually improved, the price of commodities has gradually increased, and the supply of commodities has been in short supply. The whole industry has completely changed the scene of low profit and low loss, and completed all profits. It is understood that the development and application of wollastonite in China started late in the early 1980s, and the scale of the company is generally small.
The whole industry has gone through the early blooming mining war and the price war of competing to reduce the price of needle shaped wollastonite, the war of customer grabbing, and the war of technology stealing. Under the national industrial policy and market regulation, the industry has gradually stepped into the track of standardized and healthy development. The production scale, commodity types, and economic benefits of the Company needle shaped wollastonite powder have been greatly improved. Especially in the past two years, the company's scientific research ability, mining equipment, processing technology and detection degree have made great progress compared with that before 2002. New products continue to increase, and the processing technology of needle powder, ultra-fine powder and modified powder continues to innovate, reaching the international advanced level. The deep processing ability has increased dramatically, completely changing the operation mode mainly selling raw ore. The company's vitality has been greatly strengthened, Lishu wollastonite mining enterprises, Changxing wollastonite enterprises and a number of old companies have made considerable progress. Some emerging companies, such as Jiangxi huajietai wollastonite enterprise, Jiangxi Aote wollastonite enterprise, also have a strong momentum of development, and their competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets continues to improve. The output and export volume of wollastonite in China are in the top position in the world. At present, the annual output of China's wollastonite industry is 550000 tons, and commodities are exported to Japan, South Korea, northwest Asia and other Asian countries, Germany, Spain and other European countries, with the export volume reaching 200000 tons, accounting for 70% of the international market. The main export market of wollastonite in China is Europe, with an annual export volume of 150000 tons. These products are mainly used in the ceramic glaze industry, and the price is about 80 dollars / ton. The products exported to Japan and South Korea are mainly superfine needle powder, which is mostly used in the plastic industry, with the price ranging from $400 to $450 / ton. Wollastonite products in China are mostly used for ceramic billets. The price of products varies according to the quality of resources. The ex factory price is 100-300 yuan / ton. Although the wollastonite industry has achieved all the profits at present, the profits are still very low, especially the depreciation of RMB and the reduction of the export tax rebate rate from 8% to zero, which has tightened the company's profit space. In addition, the increase of mining access projects, the increase of costs, and the progress of mining and processing costs have brought considerable pressure to the company's profits.
As a result, experts predict that the price of wollastonite products will increase significantly in the past years, and the price of products exported to Japan and South Korea will increase by about 5% - 8%. As the demand of wollastonite market outside the world keeps growing and the price is gradually increasing, some large international enterprises pay close attention to China's market and high-quality resources, and try to seize China's high-quality Wollastonite Resources by means of joint venture, merger and acquisition, and then monopolize the market. In this regard, relevant experts suggest that the government departments of the companies and resources in the industry should be cautious about the involvement of foreign capital, use resources reasonably and properly, and ensure the healthy development of the industry and companies.
