The Chinese market of cemented carbide in 2013
Main problems of cemented carbide industry in China: one is the enterprise on a smaller scale and the industrial concentration is not high. According to incomplete statistics, the average annual capacity of 199 cemented carbide enterprises is 176 tons and average annual output is 86 tons. Second, less investment in science and technology, the lack of high-end technical personnel, technology research and development ability is weak. Cemented carbide industry in China in the field of science and technology investment is less than 3% of sales revenue, science and technology development level is not high, less original core technology achievements. Third, the low level of product quality, product structure need to be adjusted. China's cemented carbide production accounts for more than 40% of world output, but the carbide sales income is less than 20% of the world, mainly due to the deep processing and varieties is not complete.
With China's rapid expansion of the auto industry,, China's iron and steel, transportation, construction and other fields also have the strong demand for cemented carbide. In foreign cemented carbide in the multinational company's strategic vision, the Chinese market has quietly changed from supporting role to lead.
Analysis indicates that, in the end of the 12th five-year ,Chinese cemented carbide production reaches 30000 tons, sales income reached 30 billion yuan, deep processing of products will reach more than 40% of the total production of cemented carbide. The Export will be doubled compared to "11th five-year plan". Carbide will be aimed that deep processing, forming a complete set of tools, circular economy, energy conservation and environmental protection.
