With the continuous release of downstream market demand, the scale of my country’s nanocrystalline materials market is gradually expanding.

Nanocrystalline materials belong to one of the subcategories of soft magnetic materials. They are mainly composed of silicon, boron, iron, copper and other elements through a rapid cooling process to form an iron-based nanocrystalline alloy, and then through an annealing process to form an amorphous mixed structure and nanoscale Microcrystalline material. Due to the small grain size and large grain boundary area of ​​nanocrystalline materials, they have the characteristics of high hardness, high strength, and wear resistance. At present, the preparation process of nanocrystalline materials has been basically mature and can be roughly divided into gas phase method, liquid phase method, electrochemical method, solid phase method, etc.

Nanocrystalline materials have excellent comprehensive properties and are often used to produce sensors, electronic transformers, transformers, inductance components and other products. They are widely used in wireless charging, semiconductors, consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, home appliances, photovoltaic power generation and other fields.

Nanocrystalline materials are mostly used in the production of new energy vehicle motors, automotive sensors and other products due to their high Curie temperature, high magnetic permeability, high saturation magnetic density and other advantages. At present, new energy vehicles have become the main application field of nanocrystalline materials. According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to September 2023, my country’s new energy vehicle production and sales completed 21.075 million units and 21.069 million units respectively, a year-on-year increase of 7.3% and 8.2%. As the production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country gradually increase, the market demand for nanocrystalline materials has also increased.

In addition, with the adjustment of my country’s energy structure, the market of photovoltaic power generation, as a green, pollution-free and clean energy, has developed rapidly. Nanocrystalline materials can adjust their photoelectric properties by changing the shape and size of crystal grains, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Therefore, nanocrystalline materials have been widely used in the photovoltaic field. Overall, the market demand for nanocrystalline materials is relatively large.

According to the “China Nanocrystalline Materials Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, With the continuous release of downstream market demand, the scale of my country’s nanocrystalline materials market is gradually expanding. In 2022, my country’s nanocrystalline materials market size will be 10833.01 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.54%.

At this stage, foreign nanocrystalline material companies mainly include Hitachi Metals, VAC, TDK, etc., and domestic nanocrystalline material companies mainly include Yunlu New Energy, Zhaojing Co., Ltd., Antai Technology, etc. Foreign nanocrystalline material companies started early and have a first-mover advantage by virtue of their advanced production technology. However, in recent years, my country’s nanocrystalline material companies have developed rapidly, their R&D capabilities and innovation capabilities have continued to improve, the gap between production technology and international advanced levels has gradually narrowed, production capacity has gradually expanded, and market share is expected to increase.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, my country’s electronic products have gradually developed in the direction of small size and integration, and the requirements for nanocrystalline materials have Gradually improve, and promote the gradual progress of the production process of nanocrystalline materials. At present, my country’s nanocrystalline material production technology has developed from the second-generation tape-making process to the third- and fourth-generation advanced tape-making processes. Ultra-thin tapes and ultra-wideband have become the mainstream trends in the development of the nanocrystalline material market.
