The demand for electronic components grows, and the ferroelectric materials industry welcomes development opportunities

Ferroelectric materials refer to a type of material with ferroelectric effect, which is a type of pyroelectric material. It has strong resistance to external fields such as electricity, force, heat, magnetism, and light. It can not only spontaneously polarize, but also within a certain temperature range, the spontaneous polarization dipole moment can change with the direction of the external electric field. Ferroelectric materials include two categories: inorganic materials and organic materials. Inorganic materials are mainly barium titanate (BaTiO₃), etc., and organic materials are mainly polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based ferroelectric polymers, etc. . There are many types of ferroelectric materials, including traditional perovskite ferroelectric materials (such as barium titanate, lead titanate, etc.), new hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric thin film materials, organic polymer ferroelectric materials, etc. Among them, barium titanate is the main segmented product. It has the advantages of high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and stable properties. It is currently one of the most widely used electronic ceramic materials and has high user awareness.

Ferroelectric materials have good electrical properties, and also have various properties such as piezoelectricity, dielectricity, pyroelectricity and optical effects. They can be combined with nanotechnology, semiconductor technology and other technologies to produce a variety of highly integrated, Ferroelectric material electronic components with the advantages of low energy consumption and fast response speed, such as multilayer chip ceramic capacitors (MLCC), thermistor (PTCR), dynamic random access memory (FRAM), etc., among which multilayer chip ceramic capacitors (MLCC) is the main application field of ferroelectric materials at present. In addition, ferroelectric materials also have high application value in photocatalysis, energy conversion, biomedicine and other fields.

The supply sources of China’s ferroelectric materials industry include domestic and imported materials. In terms of domestic production, companies represented by Shandong Guoca Functional Materials Co., Ltd., Anhui Kaisheng Applied Materials Co., Ltd., Hubei Tianci Electronic Materials Co., Ltd., Fujian Besike Electronic Materials Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Dianyang Industrial Co., Ltd. are domestic Major producer of ferroelectric materials. From 2018 to 2022, as the above-mentioned ferroelectric material manufacturers expand ferroelectric material production lines, my country’s ferroelectric material output continues to increase, providing important support for the growth of domestic ferroelectric material supply. According to the “In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on Ferroelectric Materials Industry 2021-2025” released by the Industrial Research Center, in 2022 In 2018, China’s ferroelectric materials industry supplied 28,100 tons, and the industry scale reached 1.863 billion yuan.

Industry analysts said that ferroelectric materials have good ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity and nonlinear optics Such properties are currently a hot area of ​​international high-tech materials research. Limited by factors such as basic theoretical research and material preparation technology, there are not many practical applications. At this stage, ferroelectric materials are mainly used in electronic components such as ceramic capacitors in the memory field. my country’s ferroelectric material memory industry is still in the development stage, so its penetration rate in this field is not high. In the future, with the acceleration of the construction of Digital China, the large-scale application of 5G, and the digital transformation of industries, China’s big data industry will continue to develop, and its demand for electronic components such as ferroelectric material memories and ceramic capacitors will continue to increase. Investors We can pay attention to the development of this field, improve basic theoretical research and technology research and development, and actively deploy in this field.
