Global High Performance NdFeB industry trends and forecast of supply and demand in 2017


  In 2016, the total output of NdFeB was about 146 thousand tons, of which China's NdFeB production capacity was about 130 thousand tons, accounting for 89% of the world. On the specific varieties, the current sintered NdFeB material occupies NdFeB major market, accounting for about 94%. 2001 - in 2016, the average annual growth rate of global sintered NdFeB was 16%.

  In 2015, the global demand for high performance NdFeB was about 54 thousand and 700 tons, an increase of 12% compared with the same period. It is estimated that the industry demand will reach 92 thousand tons by 2020, with an average annual growth rate of around 12%. At present, the total capacity of NdFeB in China is as high as 300 thousand tons, and the vast majority of excess production capacity is concentrated in the low-end consumption areas of ndfeb.


  The manufacturing technology of NdFeB is very complicated, and it needs a long time of technology accumulation to obtain stable quality and higher yield. In addition, the automotive EPS field requires high safety performance, so the product quality requirements are high, and the supply chain needs more than 2 years' quality certification after the cycle. Overall, stable competition and barriers exist to avoid disorderly competition, but also to ensure that NdFeB manufacturers in the industry when the environment is poor, still maintain a certain profitability.

  1. The main application of NdFeB in traditional vehicles is the EPS steering system.
  2. the new energy vehicles - permanent magnet synchronous motor has become the mainstream choice
  3. mechanical hard disk - demand showed a shrinking trend
  4. consumer electronics - mobile phone NdFeB demand has increased steadily
  5. wind power - direct drive motor permeability growth in vast space
  6. energy-saving elevator - EPS and micro motor NdFeB demand has increased steadily
  7. inverter air conditioning - EPS and micro motor NdFeB demand has increased steadily
  8. intelligent robot - NdFeB blue ocean market

WHAT IS NEODYMIUM AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

  The average American consumer probably has never heard of neodymium. But that substance — along with other so-called rare earth elements — is essential to the functioning of technologies we take for granted on a daily basis.   Rare-earths refer to 17 naturally occurring chemical elements on the periodic table. Despite the name, they aren’t particularly rare, existing in relative abundance in the earth’s crust. Cerium, an oxidizing agent, is as plentiful as copper, while radioactive promethium is the least common.   These elements typically occur together in nature and are difficult to separate from one another. The mining process is costly, time-consuming, and often involves a technique known as open-pit mining that creates huge holes and disrupts the surrounding ecosystem. Such a process was used at mountain pass, the last remaining US rare-earth mine before it was shuttered in 2002.   In a drastic shift, the US went from being the leading...

Why is NdFeB called "magnetic king"?

  Artificial magnets appeared in the eighteenth Century, but the process of making higher magnetic materials was slow until 1920s. Then, in 1948, made of  ferrite, created in 70s (SmCo), samarium cobalt rare earth magnet Nd-Fe-B magnet was born in 1986, this is the world's strongest magnet up to now. The physical magnetic technology has been rapid development of NdFeB magnet materials also makes the components more compact, and quickly spread in the industry, China Nd-Fe-B magnet industry ushered in the rapid development of the new world.     First, NdFeB , simply speaking, is a magnet, and we usually see the difference is that the magnet, because of its excellent magnetic properties and  called "magnetic king."". Neodymium iron boron contains a large number of rare earth elements neodymium, iron and boron, its characteristics are hard and brittle. Because the surface is easily oxidized and corroded, NdFeB must be treated with surface coating. Surface ch...
