1、 Analysis of current situation
Since the reform and opening up, China's building ceramics industry has achieved rapid development. With China's accession to the WTO, the building ceramics industry is facing an unprecedented opportunity for development, as well as unprecedented challenges. China's building ceramics enterprises are mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas, such as Foshan in Guangdong, Jinjiang in Fujian, Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Tangshan in Hebei, Zibo and Weifang in Shandong. Enterprises are excessively concentrated in a few areas. Although this situation has its advantages, we must not neglect its disadvantages. First, this excessive concentration will cause serious partial repeated construction and waste of resources, which is not conducive to the comprehensive and sustainable development of China's building ceramics industry; Second, it is easy to cause vicious competition among enterprises, which is not conducive to the healthy development of China's building ceramics industry; Third, it is easy to cause partial oversupply of products, while the surplus products will be exported, especially to distant regions (such as northeast, northwest, etc.), and the sales cost will undoubtedly increase; Fourth, it is easy to cause the shortage of main raw materials, which will also increase production costs if they are purchased in large quantities for a long time.
2、 Development trend
As one of the most widely used materials in advanced ceramics, alumina ceramics presents the following development trends with the development of the whole industry:
(1) The level of technical equipment will be rapidly improved: the development of computer technology and digital control technology has promoted the technical progress and rapid development of advanced ceramic material industry, such as automatic control continuous sintering kiln, high-power and high-capacity grinding equipment Advanced complete sets of equipment, such as high-performance pulverizing and granulating equipment and net pressure forming equipment, have promoted the improvement of the overall level of the industry. At the same time, production efficiency and product quality have also been significantly improved;
(2) The product quality level has been continuously improved: the domestic microcrystalline alumina ceramic products have grown from scratch, the industrial scale has grown from small to large, and the product quality has gone through a rapid development process;
(3) The industrial scale will expand rapidly: as the basic material of other industries or fields, microcrystalline alumina ceramic products are affected and limited by the development level of other industries. From the perspective of the application of alumina ceramics, the scope of application is becoming wider and wider, and the consumption is increasing, especially in the anti-wear engineering and building ceramics production.
