Barium carbonate has a wide range of applications. Electronic grade barium carbonate will be the driving force for future market growth.
Barium carbonate is an inorganic compound with a white powder appearance. Barium carbonate is a dangerous chemical and is toxic. It can decompose into barium oxide and carbon dioxide under high temperature conditions. Barium carbonate is almost insoluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and soluble in strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and ammonium chloride solution.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the barium carbonate industry chain is the raw material layer, involving barite, coal, barium sulfide solution and other raw materials. my country is the largest barite producer and has sufficient supply of barium carbonate raw materials; the midstream is barium carbonate production. layer; the downstream is the application layer. Barium carbonate can be used in the production of other barium salt products, as well as as analytical reagents, catalysts, magnetic materials, etc., and is used in electronic components, instrumentation, ceramics, chemical industry, environmental protection, metallurgy and other fields, among which electronic Components are an important application area of barium carbonate.
According to the “2022-2026 Barium Carbonate Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, my country is As a major producer of barium carbonate, in order to alleviate the problem of overcapacity of domestic barium carbonate, domestic companies have expanded to overseas markets. At this stage, my country has become the world’s largest exporter of barium carbonate, with export volume remaining at more than 100,000 tons for a long time. Domestic barium carbonate is mainly exported to Spain, France, Russia and other regions.
In foreign markets, barium carbonate suppliers mainly include American Elements, Belgium’s Solvay, etc. my country is a major producer of barium carbonate. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict, the pressure on the operation of backward barium carbonate production capacity has increased, and it has gradually withdrawn from the market. The concentration of the barium carbonate market has continued to increase. Currently, there are more than 10 barium carbonate manufacturers in my country. Including Guizhou Hongxing Development, Hebei Xinji Chemical Group, Hubei Beishan Chutian Barium Salt, etc. Guizhou Hongxing Development is a leading company in the barium carbonate market. The company and its subsidiary Dalong Manganese Industry have an annual barium carbonate production capacity of about 300,000 tons, ranking first in the world.
Barium carbonate can be divided into industrial-grade barium carbonate and electronic-grade barium carbonate. Industrial-grade barium carbonate is mainly used in traditional fields such as ceramics and glass, and the market growth is limited; electronic-grade barium carbonate is mainly used in the field of electronic components. In recent years, with the With the development of the electronics industry, the market consumption share of electronic grade barium carbonate has increased. Electronic barium carbonate has high purity and added value. With consumption upgrading, the increase in barium carbonate consumption will be concentrated in electronic barium carbonate products.
Industry analysts said that my country is a major producer and exporter of barium carbonate. Relying on its raw material and technological advantages, my country ranks first in the international barium carbonate market. will occupy a more important position. As an important inorganic compound, barium carbonate has a wide range of downstream applications. With the development of the electronics industry, the market demand for electronic barium carbonate continues to grow. In the future, the increase in barium carbonate consumption will be concentrated in high-precision, high value-added barium carbonate products.
