Cited concern about China's rare earth industry to

Recalling the past few years , the development of rare earth industry haze like being " locked " in the sky , the development path is not clear. Price spike of rare earth , rare earth mining environmental issues highlighted , rare earth and other issues of international trade disputes are constantly plagued by the development of rare earth industry in varying degrees .

In recent years, the development of the rare earth market ups and downs of the situation , the annual Chinese rare earth market seminar organized by the Swiss Road metal mesh made ​​detailed analysis and forecasts for the development of rare earth industry market every year , this year , China's rare earth market seminar gone through four years, is the fourth . Recalling the past few years , the rare earth market " turbulent " , Chinese rare earth market seminar also in this " turbulent " in the increasingly growing .

Rare Earth Market: downtown cleared over traumata

In the 2011 's the rare earth market seminar , experts had suggested that rare earth prices skyrocketing since the beginning of 2009 is inconsistent with the law of the market , behind skyrocketing start overcapacity . Unfortunately, the predictions become a reality. Since the beginning of the second half of 2011 , the rare earth market began to decline in 2012 , the rare earth supply-demand relationship has completely changed , even up to several times the supply demand of rare earth market prices nosedive , in this process, the light rare earth bear the brunt. To 2013 , the rare earth market not only no major improvement , but more and more difficult. Rare earth polishing powder , for example, in 2013 , domestic consumption of rare earth polishing powder market is about 2 million tons / year, foreign rare earth polishing powder in Japan and the United States dominated the market , its consumption was 5,000 tons / year , 2,000 tons / year. The domestic rare earth polishing powder producers nearing capacity 60,000 tons / year, even 80% operating rate , yield 40,000 tons / year far exceeded the market demand.

From 2011 to 2013 , the market experienced a rare downtown after full wound process. Review this process , China 's largest rare earth industry is not to learn the lessons , letting the skyrocketing prices was caused by the excess production capacity . Thus, regardless of the development of rare earth industry or other industries , must be based on the fear of the market , in accordance with the rules of the market as the premise, not the blind pursuit of high prices, high profits, because this "high " brought the inevitable is a sharp increase in production capacity as well as serious excess .

RE integration: After pulling pus sores heal

Recalling the development of rare earth industry in 2013 , the " integration" as its keywords. In 2013 , the rare earth industry has not improved the situation more difficult for operators , demand, oversupply pattern also has not changed.

This year, regardless of the price of rare earth , rare earth industry or other related events are conducted relatively flat , the only difference is that the Ministry of Industry jointly launched a number of ministries jointly work on China's rare earth industry specific remediation .

June 14, 2013至6 29, Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Dingnan carried out the first half of 2013 and operating order rectification " look back" activities. In the rectification process, some private providers ore stockpile and trade were hit.

Su Bo , vice minister of the Ministry while attending the first session of the China Rare Earth Industry Association member -cum- director of the General Assembly , has made it clear that the State Council will adopt more stringent measures , combined with the implementation of the rare earth invoice monitoring systems , increase the fight against the illicit production of rare earths rectification efforts, such as the black market , and resolutely deal with a number of typical cases.

In addition , in 2013 the Ministry had announced the second batch of rare earth mandatory production plans , including 46,900 tons of minerals , metallurgical products 45,150 tons . The mandatory production plans to announce changes in the way larger than previously . First , the original amount announced by the Ministry of Land Resources is responsible for the control of mineral exploration , the uniform issued by the Ministry of coordination ; secondly , to control the total amount of raw minerals mined people can be divided into light and heavy rare earths , this does not make that distinction.

March 30, 2013 , Ganzhou Rare Earth Group fully operational , indicating that the region's rare earth hammer integration platform . China Rare Earth integration in the South formed aluminum body , Minmetals , Rising colored , Ganzhou Rare Earth Group as well as the main northern Baotou Steel Rare Earth Rare Earth integration as the main pattern.

August 15, 2013 , eight ministries issued a rare crackdown on illegal trade , with the focus on "resource utilization " disguise the illegal acquisition and processing of rare earth products trading business. Ministry to the " invoices " as a clue, involving domestic rare earth mining, smelting and trading companies for large-scale separation of the special investigation , each registration . Including Shanghai , Beijing and other places of rare earth trading company in 1594 , including a total renovation companies were included in the list .

October 29, 2013 , World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement panel preliminary support for Japan , the U.S. and EU views on Chinese control of rare earth export tariffs in violation of WTO rules . It is almost certain this lawsuit will end up losing in China . China 's rare earth export restrictions are likely to release in early 2015 , taking the rare earth industry faces market means the administration of alternative means to control the supply of rare earth pressure of reality . Integration of a large group of rare earth and rare earth mining specification is the best way to achieve this goal.

Combination of these multiple events , whether from a policy point of view , or external causes , is integrated into the main theme of the rare earth industry .

Expanding domestic demand : healing the bleeding myogenic

2013 , control of the country's total rare earth mining index was 9.38 million tonnes ( total rare earth oxide , the same below ) , smelting separation products programs for 90,400 tons . The actual amount of the annual extraction of 80,400 tons , smelting separation products production was 83,300 tons , respectively, 85.7% and 92.1% plan. The total amount of 24,000 tons of rare earth export quota (equivalent physical quantity 31,000 tons ) . Actual annual export quota of rare earth products physical quantity 22,900 tons , an increase of 36.3% , exports amounted $ 603 million . Rare earth industry revenue 76.9 billion yuan , an increase of 7.9% , a profit of 7.74 billion yuan , down 28.1 percent .

From the overseas market, the long-term by the European debt crisis , the unemployment rate hit record highs, the euro zone economy is likely to have suffered structural damage , it is difficult out of the woods shortly. U.S. economic recovery is remarkable, but the speed is slow, difficult to significantly stimulate demand . China was once the largest importer of rare earths to Japan, affected by the Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands , in 2013 China's exports to Japan of rare earth has been in a total state of decline . In the pace of global economic recovery does not accelerate in the background , as a basis for industrial raw materials, rare earth consumption remained at only a small number of fixed just need level. In contrast, the domestic economic slowdown hit demand for rare earth directly downstream applications.

Despite the overseas market outlook is not ideal, but the intensity of domestic rare earth industry consolidation measures undertaken unprecedented , or to open the domestic rare earth market has brought hope. Rare earth permanent magnet materials , for example, rare earth permanent magnet NdFeB rare earth downstream of the largest application areas , it is understood , rare earth permanent magnet materials account for about 47 percent of rare earth applications throughout the product widely used in new energy vehicles. In the traditional car has more than 30 parts need to use permanent magnet materials , and per hybrid (HEV) as compared to conventional cars consume 5 kg NdFeB ; pure electric vehicles (EV) , a rare earth permanent magnet motor to make more use of alternatives to traditional generators from 5 to 10 kg NdFeB . The State Council issued the " energy-saving and new energy automotive industry development plan " shows that by 2015, pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles cumulative production and sales and strive to reach 500,000 ; 2020, pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle production capacity of 2 million , the cumulative production and sales of over 5 million . The resulting increased demand for rare earth permanent magnet will be more than 25,000 tons .

China Rare Earth , a production value is not great but it always affects the national economy and national strategic mineral resources security . China 's rare earth industry has experienced in 2011 , " sore " , 2012 , " infection" , 2013 " to pus " process, in 2014 , China 's rare earth industry can " myogenic " ? There is no answer.

To find answers to this question , in 2014 ( fourth ) Chinese rare earth market seminar will be held as scheduled in an important producer of heavy rare earths China Ganzhou, Jiangxi . This seminar organizers will invite relevant government departments, well-known entrepreneurs, industry pundits for 2014 rare earth market trends and industry to conduct a comprehensive analysis, combined with domestic and international developments in the rare earth , rare earth supply for the world , demand , developments and trends in the field of application of each discussion , then, attended by industry experts might be able to give an answer to the problem .
