Recently, the 7th Hunan Agricultural Machinery, Mining Machinery, Electronic ceramic Products Expo was held in Loudi with the theme of "New engine of industry, Innovation and Increasing Power". The exhibition set up electronic ceramics and other five exhibition areas, a total of 720 domestic and foreign enterprises participated in the exhibition.
In addition, last year, the launch ceremony of the national fine electronic ceramics industry base project was held in Loudi Economic Development Zone. Led by the National Electronic ceramics Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, hunan Fine electronic ceramics Innovation and Development Research Center was established to build the national fine electronic ceramics industry base.
Electronic ceramics is applied in the preparation of a variety of electronic components in electronic industry of ceramic material, using artificial refined inorganic powder as raw material, through the structure design, precise stoichiometric, suitable forming method, and the performance of the firing system and achieve a specific, processed to meet the requirements of the design dimension precision of inorganic non-metallic materials.
Compared with plastic, metal and other traditional materials, ceramic materials have high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, light weight and other excellent performance, has been widely used in consumer electronics, aerospace, mechanical engineering, automotive parts, military, biomedical and other fields. With the rapid development of downstream applications, the electronic ceramics industry has maintained steady growth in recent years. In 2010, the size of the global electronic ceramics market was us $18.13 billion, which increased to US $20.59 billion in 2014. It is estimated that by 2019, the global market for new electronic ceramic materials is expected to reach us $24.14 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%.
In recent years, consumer electronics represented by smart phones have developed rapidly. Nearly 1.3 billion smartphones were shipped globally last year, up 10.3 percent year on year, data showed. The agency expects global smartphone shipments to reach 1.45 billion units by 2018. With the gradual popularization of fingerprint recognition, wireless charging, 5G and other functions, electronic ceramic materials are gradually infiltrating into the field of the appearance of smart phones with their excellent physical characteristics. The ceramic material combines the characteristics of glass with different shape, no signal shielding, high hardness, and excellent heat dissipation similar to metal materials. At present, a number of domestic high-end models have adopted electronic ceramic backplane, ceramic materials are gradually becoming high-end consumer electronics differentiated competitive sharp weapon. It is estimated that the ceramic backplane market for smart phones will reach 11.6 billion yuan by 2018.
At present, most of China's ceramic packaging market is monopolized by overseas enterprises, and the core components are mainly dependent on imports. Last year, China's electronic ceramics market size was 39.7 billion yuan, local manufacturers accounted for a small share, the future import replacement space is large. With the support of national policies such as "Industrial base strengthening special action" and "Made in China 2025", many domestic manufacturers are increasing their investment and production in the field of electronic ceramics. Institutions are expected to 2019 China's electronic ceramics market scale will reach 64.1 billion yuan, the compound annual growth rate will be 13%, the growth rate will be significantly higher than the global growth rate.
