The application demand of nanocomposite zirconia is vast. Domestic enterprises are actively developing and expanding production.

Nanocomposite zirconia is an inorganic non-metallic material that is resistant to high temperature, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient. Zirconia is the main oxide of zirconium, and its appearance is white, odorless and tasteless crystals. Under normal conditions, pure zirconia cannot be used to prepare special ceramics. It needs to be stabilized by doping with corresponding rare earth elements, and then the type and type of rare earth elements added are adjusted. content to prepare composite zirconia that meets the requirements of different uses.

Nanocomposite zirconia is a high-end product in the zirconium industry chain. Due to its nanostructure, nanocomposite zirconia is endowed with unique properties, such as room temperature insulation, high temperature conductivity, corrosion resistance, high precision, and strong thermal shock resistance. . Based on its unique properties, nanocomposite zirconia shows good application prospects in the fields of structural ceramics, solid fuel cells, dental materials, mobile phone backsheets, grinding media, optical fiber ferrules, super-toughened ceramics, zirconium-cerium eutectic melts and other fields.

The nanocomposite zirconia market is highly concentrated. In the international market, nanocomposite zirconia manufacturers include Japan’s No. 1 Rare Elements, France’s Saint-Gobain, and Japan’s Tosoh. The preparation process of nanocomposite zirconia includes solid phase method, liquid phase method and gas phase method. Among them, the hydrothermal method in the solid phase method is the best industrial production method for producing high purity, small particle size nanocomposite zirconia. Due to cost and production capacity constraints, nanocomposite zirconia is mainly used in high-end fields.

According to the “2022-2026 Nanocomposite Zirconia Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Due to technical limitations in the early days, my country’s nanocomposite zirconia supply capacity was insufficient, and the domestic market was monopolized by overseas companies. In recent years, with technological progress and policy support, Chinese companies have gradually achieved technological breakthroughs, and domestic nanocomposite zirconia has experienced rapid growth. At this stage, my country’s nanocomposite zirconia production companies include China Ceramic Materials, Dongfang Zirconium Industry, and Kaisheng Technology etc. Among them, the current production capacity of Chinese ceramic material nano-scale composite zirconia powder is 3,500 tons/year.

Nanocomposite zirconia has excellent performance and broad application prospects. At the same time, technological progress and policy support will bring broader demand for nanocomposite zirconia. Enterprises with technology, scale, and first-mover advantages will face greater development opportunities. Against this background, domestic leading nanocomposite zirconia companies are actively conducting research and development and expanding production to meet the increasing market demands in different fields.

Industry analysts said that with the aging of the population and the development of high-end electronic devices, dental materials, super-toughened ceramics, optical fibers Markets such as ferrules are growing rapidly, and the market demand for nanocomposite zirconia will be released accordingly. my country’s production capacity of nanocomposite zirconia is constantly improving, and the trend of domestic substitution will continue. However, my country’s zirconium resources are in short supply, which is expected to become the primary factor limiting the growth of the nanocomposite zirconia market in the future.
