Development trend of refractory industry
In the central provinces in Henan, Shanxi, Liaoning China main manufacturer of refractory material, which is the main origin of three China bauxite, magnesite and other refractory materials; refractories industry by the end of May 2009 more than 3236 enterprises; industry revenue reached 67 billion 52 million 540 thousand yuan, Henan Province, Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei and other regions, and refractories industry in the development of better leading enterprises, such as blue and white, accessible, prco etc. at present, its sales in the industry in the proportion is still small, the largest sales is also inadequate in refractory industry in 4%. An enterprise should play a leading role in leading enterprises in the industry, and its turnover in the industry should be more than 15%. Obviously, at present the refractory industry in the leading enterprises do not have, and the refractory industry concentration needs to be improved, and the existing resources in the refractory industry integration, is undoubtedly the way this process effective and efficient.
China announced that from 2004 January, the export of most refractory raw materials will be cancelled, and the export of finished products will also reduce the tax rebate rate. This means that important raw materials for further export restrictions, some developed countries dependent on imports of China's refractory materials and products of the refractories industry will have a major impact. In order to reduce costs, they will move their factories to Chinese, which is the development of Chinese refractories industry will also be an important opportunity. In addition, the convenience of communication and transportation, the change of the international market and the increase of e-commerce have also brought good opportunities to the development of refractory industry.
In recent years, great changes have taken place in the world refractory industry. On the one hand, because of the improvement of technology and equipment and refractories own industrial users of technology progress, and refractory material consumption decreased year by year; in the past 20 years, the average annual consumption per ton of steel refractories decreased about 5 kg. The forecast for the next 5 years the average annual consumption per ton of refractory materials will drop to 0.5-1.0 kg range. The trend of globalization is obvious, and the competition is so fierce that the varieties of refractory materials are diversified, and the performance and quality are obviously improved. The service consciousness and ability of the refractory enterprises are strengthened for the users. Many lack of competitiveness, no modern enterprise management awareness of SMEs have been bankrupt, mergers and acquisitions surging. The production of refractories in developed countries is much higher than the cost of developing countries at the same time, due to more stringent environmental requirements, forcing them to produce only export high value-added products or technology, and bulk products, labor-intensive production shifted to developing countries. Because of its unique advantages of raw materials and labor cost advantages, there is no doubt that China will have more opportunities
