The price of raw materials has risen.

Ups, downs, and rises, the prices of all the items in the whole society have all risen, and ceramics in the industrial industry cannot be left alone. Since the beginning of this year, the prices of raw materials and color glazes have soared. It is understood that some chemical products The highest increase is 20 times. In the trend of rising raw material prices, on the one hand, ceramic manufacturers are struggling to survive, and on the other hand, color glaze companies seem to be not good. Some ceramic enterprises are beginning to increase revenue and reduce expenditure on raw materials. The color glaze enterprises that have always developed stable are also facing the loss of customers.

Raw material prices generally rose by more than 50%
At present, the rising price of raw materials can be described as lightning speed, and the prices of many raw materials have been turned over several times in a short period of time, which has made many raw materials companies unprepared. It is understood that the cerium oxide refined by rare earth ore processing has risen from 7-8 million yuan/ton in 2009 to nearly 600,000 yuan/ton, up 7 times; such as zirconium silicate as a whitening agent, From the original 11,000 yuan / ton, rose to 23,000 yuan / ton. In the rare earth industry, the chairman of Jiangxi Quzhou Jidong Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd., who has been swaying for more than 20 years, said to the media: "A week ago, the oxidation sale was 3 million yuan / ton, and it rose to 8 million yuan a week. The price is still rising." But in his memory, the price of bismuth oxide was only 500,000 yuan / ton in the same period last year.

The price of raw materials has risen.
In addition to these striking chemical materials, the prices of other raw materials generally rose 50-100% year-on-year. Nowadays, the phenomenon of “one day, one price” often appears, which has affected many color glaze companies. According to the person in charge of some color glaze enterprises, sometimes the price of some raw materials is “changing to the future”, which makes it difficult for color glaze enterprises to accurately quote customers, which has affected the creditworthiness of many color glaze enterprises. Luo Huijuan, director of the office of Zhongguan Ceramic Glaze Co., Ltd., said that the effective time of their offer is as short as possible, rarely more than one week, usually three or four days.

The price increase has stopped the ceramic production
Since the beginning of this year, a ceramics company has experienced a sharp rise in production costs due to soaring prices of raw materials, but the retail price of ceramic products has not increased. The person in charge of the factory told the reporter: "The pressure of rising costs has made ceramic manufacturers unable to breathe. Due to the cold market in the terminal ceramics market, we have stopped one of the production lines and waited for the market to pick up." The encounter can be said to be a typical epitome of the ceramic industry, ceramic companies can be said to be in dire straits. According to Chen Xiaobo, deputy general manager of Daewoo glaze, “The color glaze is the same as oil. The price of oil is higher. If you want to drive, you still have to use it. Ceramic companies need to produce products. Color glaze is the necessary raw material. Enterprises can only bear high-priced raw materials with their own scalp. It is understood that building ceramics are formed by chemical products such as clay and other sand materials plus color glaze. Sand materials include clay, quartz, potassium sodium feldspar, etc.; and glaze chemical products are mainly oxides, carbides, nitrides, silicides, borides, etc., among which cerium oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, etc. are the most widely used. Raw materials, and most of these chemical elements are derived from our commonly known rare earths.

Rich in resources but mining has been overdrawn
According to preliminary statistics, China holds more than 200 kaolin mines and holds 1.5 billion tons of ore reserves. The distribution of kaolin in China is relatively concentrated. Guangdong Province is the province with the most proven reserves of kaolin. The ore reserves are over 500 million tons, accounting for 30.9% of the national total. Followed by Shaanxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Hunan provinces, the reserves accounted for 26.75%, 11%, 7.7%, 7.64% and 3.73% of the total reserves, respectively. China's rare earth storage capacity ranks first in the world, and 98% of the world's rare earth production comes from China.

However, due to the excessive exploitation in the early stage, at present, China's rare earth reserves are only 27 million tons. According to the current production speed, China's medium and heavy rare earth reserves can only last for 15 to 20 years, and it is very likely to be imported in the future. According to the reporter's information, in the distribution of rare earths in China, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi have the most abundant reserves. The production and production capacity of heavy rare earths in these regions account for 98% of the country's total, and the proven reserves account for more than 90%. Among them, Zhangzhou has the highest proportion, reaching 36%. Moreover, among the 104 mining warrants in the southern provinces, Jiangxi accounts for 89. Therefore, Jiangxi is a major province of China's rare earth reserves.
