At present, China has a magnetic material production enterprises and related enterprises 1096, of which 359 production enterprises ferrite, rare earth magnets and magnet production enterprises of metal 226, with the rest supporting equipment production enterprises and auxiliary raw materials manufacturers. Ferrite manufacturers 197, the output of 41 million tons (36 tons of sintered magnets, bonded magnets 50,000 tons), soft ferrite production enterprise 162, the output of 30 million tons (260,000 tons of Mn-Zn, Ni zinc and magnesium, zinc 40,000 tons), 40,000 tons ndfeb magnet, Alnico magnets 03.5 thousand tons of metal, these data are included in the foreign-funded enterprises in China. Ferrite Industry in China is basically to keep growing at a rate of 20% or more, with an average production to double every five years.

Into the 21st century, China's bonded ferrite growth has accelerated, and now production of up to 5 million tons, In addition to the traditional model of isotropic bonded ferrite, such as refrigerator doors closed and the CRT focusing magnetic ring magnetic film growth, the anisotropic bonded ferrite, such as micro motors used in magnets and magnet Tissue ad placement to increase the growth rate. Now, isotropic magnets Bonded Ferrite magnets account for 60% of its energy product in the 0.7 ~ 1.0MGOe, anisotropic magnets accounted for 40% of its energy product in the 1.4 ~ 1.6MGOe, mainly used for various types of The micro-motor. In recent years, China's product quality and ferrite magnets have greatly improved grade, basically able to produce Japan's TDK's standard products of various brands.

Scales for the raw material of iron ferrite magnetic properties of sintered up FB4B, using iron oxide as raw materials to produce the magnets performance to FB5, FB6. Power Mn-Zn ferrite material properties generally reached PC30 - PC40, a few can produce PC44, PC50 and other brands of products; high permeability material i generally up to 8000, a few can produce 12,000 ~ 15,000 materials. Present ferrite products accounted for 42% of the application of high-tech fields, such as home appliances (microwave ovens, air conditioners, electric small appliances), office supplies (copiers, fax machines) cars, motorcycles, high-fidelity audio, instrument sensor. The application of traditional middle and low product areas accounted for 58%, such as speakers, adsorption magnets, toys, electrical, magnetic separation device. Now soft ferrite products, accounted for 22% of high-tech field applications, such as digital communications, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), radio frequency bandwidth, anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), high-definition displays, automotive electronics. Middle and low areas of application of traditional products accounted for 78%, such as televisions, power adapter, electronic ballasts, general switching power supply transformer, the antenna rods. At present, China NdFeB magnet application are as follows, the application of high-tech products accounted for 37% of the area, such as magnetic resonance imager (MRI), cell phone vibration, hard disk drive voice coil (VCM), CD-ROM (DVD, CD-ROM) drive spindle , power tools, electric vehicles. The application of the traditional middle and low product areas, 63%, such as audio devices, magnetic adsorption devices, magnetic devices, magnetic devices.

Overall, China's performance ferrite magnets also to middle and low for the majority, although the output of the highest in the world, but the output was not satisfactory. Now that China's magnetic output about 265 billion yuan in output value of 6.2 billion ferrite, the average price of 1.5 yuan / ton; soft ferrite production in 93 billion, the average price at 3.1 yuan / ton, the rest of samarium cobalt magnets, NdFeB magnets and magnetic metals market share 11 billion yuan. In 2006, China exported 230,000 tons various types of magnets, the export value is only 860 million U.S. dollars; 69,000 tons of imports of various types of magnets, while imports amounted to 570 million U.S. dollars. Statistics from China Customs import and export quantity and amount of magnetic material, from which the magnets can also be reflected in the price China is far below international prices. China needs raw materials magnetic material. China Hard Ferrite producers about 70% of raw materials to do with iron scales, which is a feature, as with iron scales instead of iron oxide, raw material costs reduced by 30%, with a great competitive edge. Of course, products are essentially middle and low product, but through the efforts of the Chinese scientific and technological personnel, product performance and stability in the Y30H-3 (China Ferrite standard), equivalent to the level of Japan's TDK to FB4B. In recent years, high-grade ferrite magnet production increases have taken place in a shortage of raw materials, iron oxide, it is necessary to import about 30,000 tons. Soft ferrite materials used are mainly iron oxide, manganese tetroxide, magnesium oxide, nickel oxide and zinc oxide and so on. Of China's four manganese oxide addition to the quality and output to meet domestic demand for soft ferrite, but also exports; magnesium oxide, nickel oxide and zinc oxide support material may also be able to meet the development needs of China's Soft Ferrite. It accounts for 70% of soft ferrite main raw material for iron oxide, in terms of both quality and quantity can not meet the growing needs of China's Soft Ferrite, need to import. The question now is with the Chinese steel industry, iron oxide raw materials is not a constraint, the biggest problem is the secondary raw materials, manganese, zinc, nickel and rare earth neodymium such as price increases, restricting the development of magnetic materials. China magnet development analysis.

Magnetic Material Industry in China with rich resources and labor advantages, as well as a huge domestic and international market support, there will be a stable period of development. Today, the production of magnetic materials magnet mainly in Asia, Japan to high-grade magnets as the main body; China to middle and low magnet as the main body, and separate part of the high-end product markets; other Southeast Asian countries, some middle and low product market segmentation. As China has a good machine supporting the market and investment environment, accelerate the Japan, Europe and the United States of ferrite magnets transfer of manufacturing to China. Predict that by 2010 China's production of ferrite magnets will be over 60% of global production, NdFeB magnetic accounted for 80% of the world. Now, 1) the core of magnetic material production enterprise in China has been formed, the enterprise's production and output value of account for the world. 2) China also has more than 20 professional colleges and universities to open magnetic and business research and development center, product quality is improving. 3) China's magnetic materials magnet manufacturing equipment in the automation, efficiency and performance is constantly improving. At present, China magnetic materials industry are the biggest problem 1, capital, and Chihpen divorced, there are a lot of financial companies, according to statistics, the listed companies into the magnetic material industry, there are nearly 30. Some non-listed companies in the field of magnetics alone funding, and the research institutes and the lack of a certain technology, syndication, alone the result is not satisfactory. 2, scientific and technological input is not enough, some large domestic enterprises in science and technology inputs costs less, there is no consideration of technological innovation.

Foreign businesses to invest in science and technology development funding is about 5% of the total profits. 3, the lack of joint development and downstream products, due to the development of China's machine behind in foreign markets, with little communication with the magnetics business, so the use of magnetics industry in the whole machine is always in a passive position. 4, magnetic materials enterprises in China are too many emerging industries, to account for decline in market prices alone, like the snowball endless. Also, China's non-market competition rules of the game, no self-discipline mechanism. In short, the future is bright, in the 21st century magnetic center shifted to China, China will become the world's largest production base of magnetic material, magnetic material sales market. The magnetic material in accordance with Chinese enterprises should develop strategies to develop their own tactics, from small to big, from big to strong, from domestic to international, step by step to realize their ambitious goals. We firmly believe that: China's magnetic materials companies will be able to international giants.
