Consolidated Abrasives Market 2010 Review and 2011 Outlook

Since 2010, with the increase in the prices of various domestic raw materials such as abrasives, resins, and mesh, the production cost of bonded abrasives has increased substantially, and the market demand for downstream industries such as automobiles, machine tools, equipment manufacturing and machining has improved. In the case of 2010, the demand for bonded abrasives has also increased rapidly. Driven by the dual dynamics of demand and cost, the market price of bonded abrasives in China has also increased overall. Of course, the price increases of different products of different companies are not consistent, even if the same product has price differences due to cost differences. Market Review and Cause Analysis Demand In 2010, when the downstream industries such as automobile, equipment manufacturing and machining improved one after another, the demand for machine tools gradually began to pick up. First, let's look at the data of a group of machine tool industry: in January and August 2010, China's metal cutting machine tool industry's revenue and profit increased by 38.1% and 59.3%, respectively. Ceramics, resin grinding wheels and cutting blades were used as mechanical tools. With the supporting products, the domestic and international market demand has also rapidly increased. At the National Abrasives Industry Information Exchange Conference and the 52nd China Corundum Silicon Carbide Trade Fair in the fall of 2010, Mr. Zhou Jinlong, Secretary General of the Abrasives and Abrasives Branch of China Machine Tool Industry Association, pointed out in the report that ceramics from January to June 2010 The output of grinding wheels increased by 44.25% year-on-year, and the resin grinding wheel increased by 34.13% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the export of abrasives in January-June was 76,452 tons, an increase of 39.74%. In addition, as far as enterprises are concerned, Guangdong Zhuhai Elephant Abrasives Co., Ltd., the leading manufacturer of bonded abrasives, is expected to reach 20,000 tons in 2010; according to Mr. Zhang Heping, General Manager of Zhejiang Ningbo Dahua Grinding Wheel Co., Ltd., 2010 before 11 The total output of Dahua Dahua reached 8,000 tons; Mr. Xiaojun Xiao, general manager of Changzhou Damon Grinding Wheel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said that as the domestic and international economy continued to improve, the demand for the grinding wheel market in 2010 was in short supply, especially in the first half of the year, orders were often discharged for two months. After that, in the case of booming production and sales, Damon's production in the first 11 months of 2010 increased by 45% year-on-year, and sales have reached 32 million yuan. As the sales person in charge of Jiangsu Jiuding New Materials Co., Ltd., which supplies grinding wheel reinforcement mesh to domestic grinding wheel enterprises, “With the economic recovery, the sales volume of nets increased significantly from December 2009, and Jiuding produced 120 million pieces per month. Still can not meet the needs of downstream resin abrasive manufacturers. In addition, through the downstream of the bonded abrasives and a series of data from related industries, the demand for the bonded abrasives market in 2010 can also be seen from the side. After 30 years of steady development, China's hardware industry is now the world's largest producer, and exports are growing steadily every year. The largest export value is tool products, reaching 5.34 billion US dollars, followed by construction hardware exports reaching 4.34 billion US dollars. Exports of locks and locks reached $2.23 billion and $680 million, respectively. From January to October 2010, the import and export volume of China's hardware and mechanical products exceeded 500 billion US dollars, and the surplus further expanded, reaching a total of 7.06 billion US dollars, accounting for 64% of the national trade surplus in the same period. From January to November 2010, China's crude steel output has reached 577 million tons, an increase of 10.1% year-on-year; the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology estimates that China's crude steel output will reach 620 million tons in 2010. As previously mentioned costs, rising costs is one of the main abrasive products in 2010 prices, rose for wheel production costs, Ningbo, Zhejiang Dahua Grinding Wheel Co., Ltd. Mr. Zhang Heping, general manager of deep feelings, he said: " In 2010, the abrasives used for grinding wheels increased significantly due to rising electricity prices. As the price of phenols rose, the price of resins used for grinding wheels also increased a lot. In 2009, the cheapest resin we used was 6600 yuan/ton. At the highest price, it reached 18,000 yuan / ton, and the price per ton rose by more than 10,000 yuan; the fiberglass mesh used for grinding wheels, because the cost of labor is also increasing, the wire drawing workers are not willing to pull; there is also the price increase with the refined oil At the same time, the transportation cost of Changzhou Damon Grinding Wheel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said: "In 2010, the price of raw materials rose sharply. For example, the price of resin has risen to 17,800 yuan / ton. We use 30 tons per month, and the cost of resin alone increases by about 160,000 yuan. In addition, the price of abrasives has increased by more than 1,000 yuan per ton in 2010. Combined with Other costs, 2010 The overall cost of the year has increased by 20% compared with the beginning of the year.” For the price increase of resin, not only the grinding wheel manufacturer, but also the general manager of Zhuhai Bangrui Synthetic Material Co., Ltd., which supplies resin for the grinding wheel enterprise, also admitted that “Resin in 2010” The price increase is mainly because the chemical materials we use are all in the price increase. At the beginning of the year, we entered the formaldehyde of 1400-1500 yuan / ton, but now it has risen to 2500-2600 yuan / ton, so now our resin price has also risen to 18,000 Yuan/ton, which is nearly 30% higher than the beginning of the year."   Although the production of single crystal corundum abrasive has excellent grinding performance, the abrasive has been seriously polluted by the production of H2S and SO2 gas and waste water in the manufacturing process. Shandong Luxin High-tech Industry Co., Ltd. (formerly No. 4 Grinding Wheel Factory) is the main production plant of single crystal corundum abrasive. Because it is located in Zibo City, Shandong Province, it has stopped in the 1990s based on environmental protection issues. Production, followed by the main production plant of single crystal corundum abrasives transferred to the relatively remote Xixia County, Henan Province, where the main production plant Xixia County Zhenghong single crystal corundum factory also stopped production after 2004, so far, in domestic single crystal corundum Abrasives have basically stopped production. In the world, with the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, such abrasives have basically stopped production in the late 1990s.
