China’s micro-sodium crystal material market is monopolized by foreign capital, and product localization has taken important steps

Micro-nanocrystalline material is a special kind of glass material. It has become an important choice for mobile phone cover and backplane materials because of its characteristics such as high hardness, good light transmittance, strong drop resistance, and low dielectric loss. In addition, in addition to being widely used in consumer electronics such as mobile phones, tablets, and wearable devices, micro-nanocrystalline materials also have huge development potential in automobiles, photovoltaics, military industry and other fields.

Because the production technology of micro-nanocrystalline materials is relatively complex and the product requirements are high, there are currently few companies in the world that can produce micro-nanocrystalline materials, and more than half of the market share is concentrated in the hands of Corning Corporation of the United States, and the market share of Japan’s AGC and NEG Corporation The rate also exceeds 10%. The overly concentrated market gives existing large enterprises strong competitive advantages in terms of production scale, technology patents, market channels, brand influence, etc., and sets higher entry barriers for latecomers. Corning, in particular, has an almost monopoly in the field of micro-nanocrystalline materials used in high-end consumer electronics. Most of the flagship mobile phones of Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and other mobile phone manufacturers use micro-nanocrystalline materials provided by Corning as mobile phone screen covers. Consumers are considering Corning’s latest generation of screen cover glass as an important configuration item for mobile phones, which has greatly enhanced the market influence of Corning’s micro-nanocrystalline materials in the field of consumer electronics and prompted more companies to choose Corning’s Micro-nanocrystalline materials are used as mobile phone screen covers. In the future, with the development of China’s mobile phone, photovoltaic, automobile and other industries, China’s market demand for micro-nanocrystalline materials will increase significantly. According to the released “2022-2025 Micro-Sodium Crystal Materials Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report“, it is expected that in 2025 , China’s micro-nanocrystalline materials market may reach tens of billions.

For a long time, China’s micro-nanocrystalline materials have been monopolized by foreign brands such as Corning from the United States. In recent years, as the micro-nanocrystalline material technology of Hangzhou Qianzhi Kunda New Materials Company has achieved breakthroughs and entered the stage of mass production, China will break the monopoly of foreign brands in this field. What is even more valuable is that Hangzhou Qianzhi Kunda New Materials Company has a high degree of independence in technology, equipment, etc., creating good conditions for promoting domestic substitution of electronic glass. Analysts believe that the Sino-US trade dispute has not resolved and foreign supply chains are facing increased risks due to factors such as the epidemic. Under the situation, China’s electronic information, equipment manufacturing and other fields are actively promoting domestic substitution of products and accelerating the construction of localized supply chain systems. In particular, Huawei and other Chinese companies and military industries sanctioned by the United States are leading the development of domestic suppliers and building localization. The supply system is more urgent, which will provide good development opportunities for the development of the domestic micro-nanocrystalline materials industry.
