The future development market of carbon fiber high-strength fireproof cloth fiber cloth
According to the analysis of Duan Xiaohua, an associate researcher at the Institute of Industrial Science and Technology Development of the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategies, the large initial R&D investments of foreign carbon fiber raw silk production companies have obtained huge returns in global market sales. After entering the period of product upgrading, the products that are about to be eliminated will Specification products are sold to China at low prices to curb the technological progress of Chinese companies. This is one of the problems faced by my country’s carbon fiber industry. Currently, 95% of the global carbon fiber market has been occupied by large foreign companies.
At present, the carbon fiber industry has been included in the important development direction of strategic emerging industries. However, in the current critical period of improving industrial technology and expanding market scale, the development of my country’s carbon fiber industry faces many obstacles. Compared with foreign countries, the domestic carbon fiber industry is still in its “infancy”. There are no more than 6 domestic raw silk production companies, and none of them has reached scale. 90% of raw silk still needs to be imported, and domestically produced carbon fibers are mostly concentrated in general, basic and low-grade varieties. Duan Xiaohua believes that based on China’s current research and development level, the production cost of carbon fiber is at least 200 yuan/kg, while the market price of carbon fiber from Japanese companies is 160~170 yuan/kg. Not long ago, Turkish companies produced more carbon fiber in the short term. It was sold to the Chinese market at a selling price of 110 yuan/kg, which had a great impact on domestic companies.
“Foreign companies adopting this low-price competitive approach based on the characteristics of the Chinese market will force domestic downstream carbon fiber products companies to continue to import large quantities, which will make it more difficult for domestic raw fiber production companies with low technical levels to gain access to market development. Technical learning opportunities.” Duan Xiaohua said. In addition, under good market expectations, domestic carbon fiber companies still have a large number of low-level repeated investments. Dalian Xingke Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. alone has built four carbon fiber bases with an annual output of 10,000 tons in Dalian, Baotou, Sanhe, and Baoding.
Duan Xiaohua said that the carbon fiber fireproof cloth industry involves a long industrial chain, and scientific research institutions and related enterprises should form a certain reasonable division of labor. However, when the market prospects are promising, carbon fiber production companies are particularly closed to each other due to market competition needs, which further delays the process of industrial technology upgrading. “At present, a large number of companies invest heavily in the product stage to expand production scale, but some basic research is relatively lacking. For example, no one in China has developed oil products to enhance the strength of carbon fibers.
In addition to private enterprises, large state-owned enterprises such as China National Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec, China Chemical, China Steel, China Building Materials, China Hengtian, and Shougang International have also intervened in a “large way”. The production capacity formed by the investment of these enterprises greatly exceeds the actual demand, and they will also face a situation where it is difficult to get off.
