The number of companies involved in the nano-iron oxide business increases and industry competition intensifies

Nano-sized iron oxide has the properties of both iron oxide and nanomaterials. It is a multifunctional nanooxide material. Due to its surface effect, volume effect, quantum size effect and macroscopic quantum tunneling effect, it makes it It has various strange force, electricity, light, magnetism, thermal effects and chemical activities. Nano-iron oxide has good weather resistance, light resistance, magnetism and good absorption and shielding effect on ultraviolet rays. It can be widely used in coatings, pigments, inks, plastics, leather, electronics, high magnetic recording materials, catalysts and biomedical engineering. and other aspects, and it is expected to develop new uses.

Companies that operate nano-iron oxide mostly engage in diversified operations, that is, while producing and selling nano-iron oxide, they also actively develop nano-silver, nano-copper, nano-zirconia, nano-alumina and other nano-oxide businesses. Driven by market demand and operating efficiency, quite a few companies even actively develop and promote products with higher economic value such as nano-silver, nano-copper, and nano-zirconia. Nano-iron oxide is only a smaller segment of their business. Although it is conducive to nano-iron oxide companies to obtain more business sources and disperse business risks, it is also not conducive to the professional and large-scale development of the nano-iron oxide industry, which in turn is not conducive to the increase in investment in nano-iron oxide scientific research and the reduction of production costs. According to the released “2022-2026 Nano Iron Oxide Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report“, in 2021, China The demand for nano-iron oxide is nearly 1,000 tons.

Nano-iron oxide is mainly divided into iron oxide and iron oxide. Among them, iron oxide is mostly used in the field of coloring and is widely used in coatings, pigments and other fields. Although iron oxide is also used in coloring, it is mainly used in coloring. Used in magnetic materials. Generally speaking, the application scale of ferric oxide is much larger than that of ferric oxide, and it is the main subdivided product of nano-iron oxide. From the perspective of particle size, industrial applications not only focus on application effects, but also consider economic benefits. Therefore, nanoscale iron oxides with higher cost performance of hundreds of nanometers or even microns are usually used. In the field of scientific research, nano-iron oxide with a diameter below 50nm is mostly used. Although its consumption is small, the unit price is high. In addition, due to different application requirements, people have also developed nano-iron oxide in the α crystal phase and γ crystal phase. Nano-iron oxide in the α crystal phase has a smaller specific surface area and is mainly used in high-temperature environments.

Analysts believe that with the increase in related technical exchanges and technology diffusion, the threshold for nano-iron oxide technology continues to decline, and domestic production of nano-iron oxide The number of iron oxide companies is gradually increasing, especially in economically developed areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Beijing. Local companies take advantage of their complete industrial supporting facilities and huge markets to invest in the nano-iron oxide industry, resulting in continued growth of companies and products in the nano-iron oxide industry. However, most of the companies in the industry are small companies, and large companies are smaller. Due to the increase in the number of companies and the fragmentation of the industry, competition in the industry has become more intense. In addition, product homogeneity has become more serious, causing companies in the industry to increase their competitiveness by lowering prices, further intensifying competition in the industry.
