my country's cemented carbide industry started in the 1950s and has experienced nearly 60 years of development of technology introduction, digestion and absorption, and independent innovation. Domestic cemented carbide enterprises have gradually developed and grown, and have made great progress in terms of quantity, scale and technology. As the market has gone through extensive development in the early stage, cemented carbide companies have gradually begun to pay attention to R&D and innovation capabilities, and the awareness of intellectual property protection has continued to increase. At present, there are more than 30 domestic universities and research institutes engaged in cemented carbide research, and technical personnel account for about 10%.
There are currently 600-700 cemented carbide manufacturers in the world (excluding small and medium-sized enterprises below China's domestic scale). The excellent domestic cemented carbide manufacturers are concentrated in Zhuzhou, Hunan. On a hot soil like Zhuzhou, Hunan, cemented carbide manufacturers are like ocean waves, one after another.
“For cemented carbide, look at Zhuzhou, and for good quality, look for refined diamonds.” The cemented carbide products produced by Zhuzhou Jingzuan Cemented Carbide Co., Ltd. are exported to all parts of the world and have won praise from customers. Zhuzhou Jingzuan won the 2015 Hunan Province "Contract Abiding "Credit" unit title, and its "Kimbos" trademark was named "Hunan Famous Trademark" by Hunan Administration for Industry and Commerce.
From a global perspective, the cemented carbide market is basically in a relatively saturated state, the industry has entered a mature period, and market competition is very fierce. However, the output of cemented carbide has increased steadily in recent years, but the growth rate has slowed down significantly. It is estimated that the total tungsten consumption in the global cemented carbide industry in 2015 exceeded 50,000 tons, and the cemented carbide output was about 70,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 2%. According to data from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, China is the world's largest cemented carbide production country, with cemented carbide production accounting for approximately 38% of global production, followed by Europe with a market share of 26%.
In recent years, cemented carbide output has grown steadily, and the growth rate has slowed down. Zhuzhou Jingzuan adheres to the mission of "responsibility creates history", adheres to the purpose of "responsible for the low future, responsible for customers, and responsible for one's own conscience", and adheres to the values of "customers first, caring for employees, honesty and trustworthiness, and self-improvement", like first love His passion and pilgrimage-like perseverance, to build a century-old foundation.
