The calcium carbonate industry is highly competitive, focusing on the development of high-end products such as modification is the key
China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of calcium carbonate, with annual production and sales accounting for more than 30% of the world’s total. In 2020, the market size will reach 7 billion yuan. The production areas are mainly concentrated in Guangxi, Sichuan, Guangdong, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Henan, etc. province.
Although my country is a big producer of calcium carbonate, but limited by resources, technology, capital, site, cost control, etc., many enterprises have backward production technology, low industrial level, high resource consumption, heavy environmental pollution, low degree of land and energy intensive conservation, Due to the lack of high-end talents and the lack of independent innovation ability of enterprises, it is still not a strong country in the production of calcium carbonate products.
Calcium carbonate enterprises should change the industrial chain formation mode, take the market as the center, and change the traditional “production, supply and marketing homeopathic mode” into “marketing, supply and production trans mode”. The production enterprises of downstream products in the industry should be introduced into construction first, and then the production of calcium carbonate powder should be planned according to production needs. Qualified enterprises should form an industrial chain internally, so that the products produced are interlinked, eliminating excess capacity and maximizing profits.
The calcium carbonate industry should focus on high-end development, do a good job in product modification, enrich and improve product performance; promote product refinement and specialized development, focus on crystal form control, and provide a foundation for downstream development; do a good job in product, production equipment, and process control. The upgrading of the industry and the upgrading of mechanization to automation and intelligence; to do a good job in group standards, the original national standards can no longer represent the advanced level of the industry, so the development of group standards is conducive to increasing industry-specific calcium varieties and improving product quality. The industrial scale of upstream and downstream enterprises continues to expand, and a complete calcium carbonate industry chain is initially formed.
From the perspective of market competition, the competition in my country’s calcium carbonate industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Large-scale calcium carbonate manufacturers have high production and sales rates, and the product supply is in short supply, and they have expanded their production capacity. Small and medium-sized calcium carbonate manufacturers are facing survival difficulties due to high energy consumption, small scale, and poor quality stability, and there is a need for further integration in the industry. In the future, in the process of industry integration and further improvement of market concentration, large calcium carbonate manufacturers will achieve better development by virtue of their advantages in scale, technology, brand and quality.
