In 2022, the developm門飛ent of China's refra器電ctory industry will 務筆continue to grow steadily

From January to March, the expor弟機t volume and export p又做rice of refractory materials increased數藍. The European energy 書雨shortage caused by the Russian-事內Ukrainian war is the main reason for t很師he significant increase in th中校e export of refractory materials, es到就pecially refractory raw 鐘兵materials.

According to the statistic員水s of China Refractory Industry Ass低呢ociation, the output of 兒數national key refract好快ory enterprises in April fell by abo的腦ut 5% year-on-year, and the內答 cumulative decline from January to A秒嗎pril was about 10%. Howeve舞熱r, the total output base of refractory 快了products enterprises is still at a 報這high level.

In the first quarter,中木 the market price of木放 bulk refractory raw materials r習在ose on an average year近藍-on-year basis, and due to the imp科地act of epidemic preventi說事on and control, the main refra煙數ctory material producin女弟g areas such as Liao懂答ning, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, and 玩到the Yangtze River Delta expe都土rienced poor transporta技理tion and increased logisti電白cs costs. The bauxite market is懂計 running strongly, The product has 生道risen to a certain extent, and the美高 supply of high-grade森微 products is tight. Due to t年但he rising bauxite price and th錯冷e high LNG price, the domestic h愛金igh-alumina brick market has shown a t電草rend of stability and s畫高trength, and rising energy綠城 and logistics costs have 地女brought cost pressures incr廠討easingly obvious.

In May, the epidemic 白他in Yingkou, Liaoning Provi影見nce was brought under control, the ma劇作rket price of magnesia was 生近basically stable, and the logistics爸黃 aspect was also eased. After the pri樹姐ce of graphite rose due to tight supply很可, the market stabilized due to th員少e increase in supply. The corundum mark懂購et was generally weak, and the費知 production of brown corundum 來低was relatively weak. The cost i拿金s high, but the demand is weak, t睡歌he inventory increases,遠輛 and the market price of sintered人場 corundum and white corundum is sligh信睡tly lowered. Silicon ca了制rbide manufacturers have s算村tarted construction in March, and 區得the market price is basically stable.

According to the statisti刀視cs of China Refractory Industry Asso不低ciation, the price changes of raw m購小aterials for main refractorie知新s in May 2022 are as店高 follows: 98 ordinary fused magn這兵esia rose 17.8% year-on-year, 85 器月bauxite rose 10.3% year-on-year, 拍樹95 brown corundum rose 2作鄉4.4% year-on-year, White 廠房corundum rose 19% yea國光r-on-year, 200-mesh silicon carbide ros妹討e 54.7% year-on-year, and flake gr和河aphite rose 57.8%.
