First, China's historical review of abrasives industry

Grinding method of using one of the most ancient, as in ancient scientific work, "Heavenly Creations" in there "cut, consultation, cut, grind," idiom, of which "grinding" to refer to grinding. In fact, the earliest human use of grinding to be traced back to primitive society, in the matriarchal society, people have begun to use simple stone tools, which are the most simple stone rubbing each other with a simple stone come. People use these simple tools hunting, farming. At that time, clothing is simple, but still have edge auxiliary, which is inseparable from grinding. This is also the abrasives industry, the most primitive origins.

New China abrasives industry from scratch, from scratch, from small and large, consists of three categories: coated abrasive tools, abrasives and superhard materials. After half a century of self-reliance, hard work, and gradually establish a relatively independent and complete abrasives R & D, manufacturing, testing systems, particularly in the ten years of reform and opening up, the more rapid development achieved in the last nineties, abrasives industry in China and the world advanced level was greatly reduced. However, as the world's materials technology, machining techniques and technologies, as well as the rapid development of means of scientific research, at the turn of the century, a period of time, the rapid development of foreign abrasives industry, new technologies, new products, new processes are emerging; and this during the abrasives industry in China is in the industrial management system change, transforming business, industry, stage of organizational restructuring, the original industrial layout has been disrupted, the new market order is exploring the establishment, industry development and technological progress at a standstill moment state, making the already narrow gap has been rapidly widening.

In the planned economy period, the original is the abrasives industry in China Machinery Industry Ministry's first seven-led Grinding Wheel Factory, supplemented by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the place belongs to the formation of a Grinding Wheel Abrasives manufacturing system. After three decades of reform and opening up the market test, resource integration, mergers and acquisitions, the emergence of a large number of private Abrasives manufacturers, although there is also no lack of development and technological progress to promote the industry's best companies, after China abrasives industry independent research and development, technology transfer, technical cooperation and trade facilitation, the development by leaps and bounds, and again narrowed the gap between the advanced international level, the basic set up relatively independent and complete abrasives product development, manufacturing, testing verification , grinding confirmation system.

Second, the status of abrasives industry

Abrasives industry in China after 50 years of development, has formed a considerable scale and complete range of industrial system, the industry is small, but very wide range of applications, penetrated into all walks of life (throughout the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, machine tools, iron and steel, chemicals, construction, metallurgy, petroleum, geological prospecting and mining equipment manufacturing industry and electronics, wood, glass, stone, glass, ceramics and plastics, leather, paint and other light industry, and even now, Ms. Beauty Nail covers, toothpaste and other products .) Meanwhile abrasives products as machine tool industry is one important export commodities, a large number of foreign exchange revenue for the country. Abrasives industry and therefore our national economy is an important contribution to the development of one of the industries. As technology advances and innovation, China has become the world's important producing countries abrasives and abrasives to the world power forward.

1 In recent years, production status of abrasives

In 2008, the financial crisis hit, the coated abrasives industry report shows the year 2008, domestic sales and export growth both in domestic sales last year achieved sales of 3.3 billion, an increase of 14.8% over 2007's growth rate down 4%, especially exports, exports of gauze 29.43% increase over last year, an increase of 36.55% sand paper and other substrates increased by 21.5%. Comprehensive evaluation, the exports increased by nearly 28%. To the case of imports, 2008 is the overall decline in general. This shows that the sales of coated products to improve, many products can replace imported products. Coated famous enterprises at present are: Henan pigeons, Dongguan Golden Sun, Jiangsu Mitsubishi.

According to the China Machine Tool Association Chapter abrasives scale enterprises in the industry statistics show that in 2009 industrial output value of 19.944 billion yuan at current prices, 5.39% more than last year, product yield: corundum yield about 120 million tons, down 28.57% , silicon carbide production of about 88 million tons, down 20%; abrasive 490,000 tons, an increase of 8.75%.

According to the above statistical analysis, the overall decline in output of industrial products, increased industrial output value at current prices, indicating the high value-added products increased. First, the impact of the financial turmoil last year, our industry, many companies focus on product quality improvement, real-time to adjust business strategy, targeted production of marketable products, has maintained stable sales volume and better price ; Second, the solar photovoltaic industry, for cutting the green silicon carbide powder has maintained upward momentum in sales, a relatively high value; its three main high-quality abrasive grinding resin of rapid growth, year on year growth of 22.34%, in addition to export, the domestic construction industry in driving the rapid development, so that a relatively strong sales. Abrasives industry is currently well-known enterprises: the elephant in Zhuhai, Guangdong foreign exchange, Sichuan solid sharp and so on.

In addition, China superhard materials (diamond) the entire industry output accounted for 80% of the world's total output value of about 300 million, an average annual growth rate of about 20%. As a super-hard material industry, China is the largest producer of super-hard materials, and application of superhard materials is a large country, this trend will continue, superhard materials development will continue. Superhard famous enterprises at present are: Shenzhen Chang Xing, the Yellow River Tornado, Guangdong Ben Long and so on.

2, the use of abrasives market situation ten

1) The machine tool industry

In 2009, China's machine tool industry year totaled 401.42 billion yuan industrial output value, an increase of 16.1%, domestic metal processing machine tool market share from the previous year the output value of 61% to 70%, of which 51.6% made CNC machine tools increased by the to 62%, industry investment in fixed assets grew 36%. For eight consecutive years in China as the world's largest machine tool consumer and importer first. China for the first time in 2009 to become the world's largest producer of machine tools. Annual output value of metal processing machine tools 15.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 7.6%; spending $ 19,790,000,000, an increase of 0.5%. Orders for machine tools business in early 2010 showed signs of rapid growth. Expected machine tool industry in the year 2010 will reach about 10% growth rate, metal cutting machine to achieve high single-digit growth; metal processing machines will be turned back export growth.

2) Global Stone

In 2005, the world consumption reached 878 million square meters of stone. According to foreign media expected in 2010, the stone consumption will reach 1.186 billion in 2015, the stone consumption will reach 16 billion square meters by 2025, the stone consumption will reach four billion square meters. As the world's major producer of stone and the main consumer countries were Italy and Germany, China and the United States has replaced the Italian market in the world stone fade, the rise of Russia, China hold onto the first, while other countries have already entered the industrial development of stone the fast lane. The face of rapid growth in global demand for stone, diamond abrasive stone processing industry in the application will be steadily increasing. While diamond synthesis technology, tools, manufacturing technology improvements and improvements in machine tool design, the cost will be fully reduced, which diamond abrasive enterprises, the prospects are very bright.

3) Chinese Ceramics

From the China Ceramic Industry Association data published on the website, building ceramic production (tiles) in 2007 4.86 billion square meters, 5.53 billion square meters in 2008, 2009, 6.72 billion square meters. With the advance of China's urbanization process, at least the next five years this figure will grow substantially. Ceramic processing of diamond tools can not be separated, because of its superior strength, heat dissipation rate, transmission rate, the current resistance, corrosive, light, low inflation rate and other physical properties, with its diamond processing raw materials into tools processing of brittle materials has incomparable superiority, to determine their independence in the competitive field of ceramic processing, abrasive products can not shake its status. Therefore, the rapid development of construction ceramics industry will inevitably bring about the rapid growth of diamond tool industry. The ceramic industry as a market segment, will be abrasive enterprises a choice can not be wrong. It also just building ceramics only.

4) Global Automotive

China's auto market in 2009 a "blowout" growth, the total annual demand for cars rose 51.6%, force pulling the world's largest consumer and automotive manufacturer to hold the event. This year's global vehicle production will reach 70 million. According to the experience of developed countries, a high growth, particularly in high-growth stimulation policies, often in the second year (2010) policy will appear after the removal of a substantial decline, but growth should be the general trend. Enter the automobile manufacturing field, the big cake to share with foreign brands, to become the focus of heated debate in recent years, corporate wear. The market is great, the threshold is not low. House have such a large market, mill prices should increase research investment, careful research needs and trends of the industry chain, so as to win new markets and to solve the trust of the export market. This is also in line with the trend of expanding domestic market.

5) Machinery

Mechanical industrial added value in 2009 than the year 2008 an increase of approximately one into four, with a total 10 trillion yuan in the first leapt to a new level, reached 10.75 trillion yuan, compared with 2008 growth of about sixteen percent. Impact of the global financial crisis, the economy remains sluggish, but the mainland to achieve a better macro-economic momentum, driven in large-scale economic stimulus plan, the manufacturing sector showed steady upward trend. As a result, there are professional general machinery industry is expected to Mainland is expected in the second half resurgence. The traditional machinery manufacturing abrasives upstream and downstream industries, competition has become the Red Sea, and the machinery of the most vulnerable to the global economy, rational investments and changes in the external environment to maintain high vigilance against the most important.

6) China Shipbuilding

China already has a 30-ton dock 16, is under construction, there are eight, the national shipbuilding capacity will be more than 60 million dwt. The Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base, Guangzhou and Qingdao Longxue Hercynian Bay Shipbuilding Base shipbuilding base built in the Chinese shipbuilding industry basically had become the world's largest shipbuilding country's physical infrastructure. From the order demand, the transactions will become more active, but a serious shortage of effective demand. The medium to long term demand for new ships, the shipping market and shipbuilding industry overcapacity overcapacity will be restricting the recovery of a huge shipbuilding market resistance. Even if the next few years there will be demand for new ships to pick up, can never be achieved in a short time peak levels during the period 2003-2008, will be long-lasting recession. While the industry has too many uncertainties, but the wear rate is concerned, the market has been dominated by foreign brands, Chinese brands can be considered blank.

7) China Beauty

China's cosmetics market in recent years has maintained an annual growth rate of more than 20%. Experts predict that in the next four or five years, the beauty market space left investors of up to 500 billion per year. About 61,238 people of women, about 48% of the total population, a huge consumer market of cosmetics. Qian Haozhuan woman said, "pink economy" is favored by investors. This beauty abrasive products business, the future is beautiful. Do not underestimate the market segments, in fact, accomplish much.

8) China's hardware industry

Before the financial crisis, China's hardware industry output value reached 800 billion yuan, and has maintained more than 15% growth rate. China has gradually become the world's largest metal processing and exporting power. China has become one of the world's largest producer of metal and has a vast market and consuming potential. International metal market, European and American developed countries due to the rapid development of production technology and labor costs rise, the universality of such products are produced in developing countries, only the production of high added value products, while China has a strong market potential, so the more favorable become a major exporter of metal processing. Traditional abrasives for the upstream and downstream industries, the external economic environment still need to be cautious of variables.
