Nano-calcium carbonate enterprise careful production trap

“This is just a phase 1 project of nano calcium carbonate built by Shanda Group in Shaanxi. The second phase of the 400,000 tons/year project will start in 2007, and the third phase of the project will be launched 500,000 tons/year. The total investment of the project is 9 billion yuan. By 2010, the Grand Group's nano-calcium carbonate production capacity will reach more than 1 million tons.” Upon seeing the reporter, Liu Peixiang, director of the Shaanxi Qianxian Investment Promotion Bureau, could not wait to make an introduction.

1 million tons? This figure surprised the reporter. Because the relevant statistics show that according to the current growth rate of market demand, by 2010 the country's total demand for nano-calcium carbonate is not yet 750,000 tons. According to the reporter’s understanding, in recent years, in addition to the one-million-ton project of Shandong Shengda Group, the current project of nano-calcium carbonate under construction and proposed in the country is the 20,000-ton/year project with Xinjiang Hami’s investment of 50 million yuan, and Heilongjiang Changbai. Quanyuan Wood Company invested 38 million yuan in 10,000 tons/year project, Hebei Pingquan Lihua Cement Company invested 15.75 million US dollars in 80,000 tons/year project, Anhui Chaodong Cement Stock Company 100,000 tons/year, etc. More than 30 projects The total investment exceeds RMB 13 billion and the production capacity exceeds 1.5 million tons.

From this point of view, is nano-calcium carbonate, which is a high-tech product, also falling into the trap of production and demand?

“At present, the domestic demand for nano-calcium carbonate continues to expand, while the small capacity, resulting in nano calcium carbonate supply in recent years, especially high-end products below 60 nanometers need to import large quantities every year, so companies are very hot.” ​​Shanxi orchids Huamin Nano Materials Co., Ltd. Director Xu Yunhai told reporters.

According to a project leader of Shaanxi Haize Nanomaterials, before 1995, China's nano-calcium carbonate technology relied on imports. In 1995, breakthroughs were made in the technology and production processes of institutions such as Beijing University of Chemical Technology and East China University of Science and Technology, setting off an investment boom in China. Guangping Chemical, Jiawei Industrial, Shandong Shengda, Shanxi Orchid and other companies have built more than 20 production lines. In 2004, the production of nano-calcium carbonate in China reached 230,700 tons, which increased to 250,000 tons in 2005.

In spite of this, in the face of the 15% average annual growth in demand during the 10th Five-Year Plan period, the increase in domestic production capacity has not yet been able to meet the growth in demand. As a result, China imported 100,000 tons of nano-calcium carbonate annually for the past few years. This huge market space has inspired many companies' investment enthusiasm.

However, hidden behind such space may be a huge trap of production and demand.

Experts said that the development of nano-calcium carbonate's new application areas is difficult and slow, and even though the increase in demand is large, the absolute demand is smaller. For example, in the early 1990s, China began to develop and cultivate nano-calcium carbonate applications, but in 2005 15 years later, the demand was only 300,000 tons. It is a fact that the production capacity of nano-calcium carbonate in China is small, but producing 300,000 tons of products with a capacity of over 400,000 tons (the average load of the equipment is less than 75%) should be no problem, but why do we still import more than 100,000 tons of products each year? This shows that China's nano calcium carbonate production is not insufficient, but the shortage of high-end products, low-grade product surplus. Therefore, what the market lacks is not the low-end products that everyone can produce now. If the projects on the company are not high-end products that the market desperately needs, then the scale will not be profitable and there will be no market competitiveness.

From the current situation, by 2010, China's nano-calcium carbonate production capacity will increase to more than 1.9 million tons, 4.7 times the current capacity, this growth rate is not only amazing and terrible. Imagine, even as some companies estimate, the demand for nano-calcium carbonate in the country will grow at an average annual rate of 20%, and the demand will reach only 750,000 tons by 2010. What about the remaining capacity of more than 1.1 million tons? Is the device idle? Or do we all push prices down to engage in vicious competition? Therefore, if you develop at the current speed, there will be a lot of companies that will fall into the trap.
