New energy vehicles to boost rare earth NdFeB industry usher in new opportunities

Experienced a general decline in business performance , the 2014 permanent magnet materials causing the industry concern again. Reporters from 2014 Ningbo International Conference on NdFeB learned , due to strong demand for wind power , new energy vehicles and other emerging industries , rare earth permanent magnet materials will be a strong impetus to the development , the fastest growing application of rare earth permanent magnet materials will be .

With a large national group formed to accelerate the pace of rare earth and rare earth Shouchu expected , rare earth prices are expected to stabilize, positive magnetic materials listed companies.

NdFeB usher in new opportunities

Application of rare earth permanent magnet is large strategic emerging industries , the relevant product performance, efficiency obviously important material , its application scope and application amount to some extent reflects the level of high-tech development of a country .

"Recently NdFeB rare earth industry to become the most talked about materials, mainly due to the state of the environment, the growing importance of energy-saving , and high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials in the wider field of new energy , development potential. " A distinguished guests said .

Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths told the China Securities Journal reporter , the future application of rare earth three fastest growing areas were magnets, catalytic cracking of petroleum , automobile exhaust , is expected to 2018 CAGR of 10.1 %, 8% and 6% , rare earth elements involved are lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium , neodymium and dysprosium .

One participant entrepreneurs believe that strong demand for wind power , new energy vehicles as the representative of emerging industries, will push forward the research, production and sale of rare earth permanent magnet materials . In wind energy , for example, said Zhang Anwen , compared with conventional gearbox , permanent magnet direct drive unit annual cost is slightly higher , but the power output can be increased by 3-5 % , low voltage ride through capability, and network easier. Permanent magnet direct drive unit failure and less maintenance costs than conventional gearbox reduced by 20 %.

Morgan Stanley expects future permanent magnet direct drive offshore wind power installed capacity will account for 70% ; 2015 global permanent magnet direct drive wind turbines will account for 15-20 % of the entire group .

According to the forecast the Global Wind Energy Council, during 2013-2017 , the cumulative installed capacity of wind power will be doubled by 2017 to reach 536GW; annual capacity additions from 2013 40GW, 2017 increased to 61GW. Asia will continue to be the world's biggest market within five years about installed 112GW, to the end of 2017 with a total capacity of more than 200GW.

2014 wind power demand of 4074 tons NdFeB , year on year growth of 28%. "In addition, lifting machinery , mining pump motor , magnetic separator, electric tools, rail transportation, especially for industrial use various types of rare earth permanent magnet motors , micro motors on the number of rare earth permanent magnet materials demand will also have steady growth. After five years China is expected to demand will reach 150,000 tons of rare earth permanent magnets . " Zhang Anwen told reporters .


Industry consolidation is expected to speed

The past two years , after a series of mergers and acquisitions of rare earth industry , has been basically formed Baotou Steel Group , China Minmetals , Chinalco , Guangdong earth, Ganzhou Rare Earth and Xiamen Tungsten six corporate -dominated industry development pattern. The deployment of the Ministry of rare earth industry mergers and acquisitions to further strengthen in January this year, the rectification work had made ​​it clear that the future will focus on supporting these six companies were led to further promote mergers and acquisitions , formation of large rare earth enterprise groups.

So far , the major area of rare earth leading business integration basically clear. Integration of Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Group , Shandong , Gansu and rare earth, rare earth , Jiangxi Ganzhou Rare Earth integration , integration of Guangdong Rising Nonferrous rare earth, rare earth Fujian Xiamen Tungsten integration , integration of Hunan Minmetals Rare Earth , Chalco Guangxi and Sichuan RE integration .

" Rare Large Group was established in the fight against the illegal smuggling of rare earth , rare earth prices have an important role in the stability of the permanent magnet business is good. Since the permanent magnet pricing depends on high-end products in Japan , high raw material costs become a permanent magnet is an important factor in the level of prices . If the Chinese illegal exploitation of rare earth phenomenon can be suppressed , stable rare earth prices , will be able to further enhance the competitiveness of domestic enterprises in the permanent magnet . " The analyst further said .

Analysts said the industry generally recognized fluctuation range neodymium praseodymium oxide between 250 000 -40 yuan / ton, in the past two years, also in this range , less than 250,000 yuan will hit the bottom line of the State of rare earth pricing , thereby triggering policies to protect , more than 40 million yuan, the downstream demand will shrink. Currently the price of the most sensitive areas of demand for wind power and energy-saving appliances .
