The composite zirconia (stabilized zirconia) industry has good development prospects, and nanocomposite zirconia is its representative product.

Composite zirconia, also known as stable zirconia and semi-stable zirconia, refers to a composite material made of zirconia as the base material and adding other non-metal oxides or metal oxides. Composite zirconia appears as white powder with no special odor. It has the advantages of good chemical stability, non-toxicity, controllable specific surface area, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. It is used in many fields such as new energy, optical communication devices, refractory materials, and special ceramics. Wide range of applications.

The core raw material of composite zirconia is zirconia. Zirconia, also known as zirconium dioxide, is an inorganic non-metallic material with high strength, good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, wear resistance and other advantages. It is widely used in medical materials, papermaking, battery manufacturing and other fields. many. Zirconium ore is an important source of zirconium oxide. At present, my country’s zirconium ore resource reserves are low and cannot meet downstream production needs, and products are highly dependent on imports. Insufficient supply of raw materials has brought certain challenges to the development of my country’s composite zirconia industry.

According to the “2023-2027 Composite Zirconia (Stabilized Zirconia) Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestion Report》shows that nanocomposite zirconia is a representative product of composite zirconia, which refers to composite zirconia with a special nanostructure. It has the advantages of good electrical conductivity, resistance to microbial erosion, resistance to chemical corrosion, and strong thermal shock resistance. It is used in catalysts, solids, etc. Oxide fuel cells, special cutting tools, artificial joints and denture materials are widely used in the production process. Benefiting from the growth in downstream demand, the market space for nanocomposite zirconia continues to expand. In 2022, the global nanocomposite zirconia market will reach 18.69 billion yuan.

Composite zirconia is a new type of composite material with good industry development prospects. In the field of new energy, composite zirconia can be used to produce power batteries; in the field of refractory materials, composite zirconia can be used to make refractory bricks; in the field of special ceramics, composite zirconia can be used as bioceramics, structural ceramics, etc. As the scope of applications continues to expand, the market demand for composite zirconia will become increasingly strong.

In the early stages of industry development, my country’s composite zirconia was highly dependent on imports due to factors such as high technical barriers and high production costs. Japan and South Korea are the first countries in the world to develop and produce high-performance composite zirconia, and their product sales rank among the world’s leaders. In recent years, benefiting from national policy support, the development of my country’s composite zirconia industry has accelerated, and the number of companies with mass production capabilities has continued to grow. Dongfang Zirconium Industry, China Ceramic Materials, etc. are representative companies in my country.

          Industry analysts said that composite zirconia has excellent comprehensive properties and has broad application prospects in many fields. In recent years, with the continued efforts of local enterprises, my country’s composite zirconia industry has gradually developed in the direction of high performance. Nanocomposite zirconia is a representative product of composite zirconia. As its market demand grows in the future, the development trend of my country’s composite zirconia industry will continue to improve.
