The future of continuous basalt fiber industry into the province's industrial development planning, reasonable layout of continuous basalt fiber industry development in Sichuan Province, through financial special subsidies, financing subsidies, application subsidies and other ways to increase government support, guide the relevant industrial development funds to increase investment, guide commercial banks to increase loan services.

Basalt fiber industry development prospects and market conditions? China is a developing country with rapid economic, scientific and technological development, new materials development and research technology level is high in a country, there is a broad market application of basalt fiber space, its replacement of glass fiber, carbon fiber and other materials with great potential, can be widely used in aerospace, missiles, rockets, military aircraft, submarines, warships and other defense construction, can also be used in automotive, petrochemical, construction and other civilian industrial reinforced composite new materials It can fill the gap in the field of new materials in China, and is expected to become a major country in the production and application of basalt fiber "later".

Basalt fiber industry development status and market outlook analysis in 2022

Basalt fiber, is the basalt stone in 1450 ℃ ~ 1500 ℃ after melting, through the platinum-rhodium alloy drawing leakage plate high-speed pulling made of continuous fiber, the strength and high strength S glass fiber equivalent. The color of pure natural basalt fiber is generally brown, some look like gold. Basalt fiber is a new type of inorganic environmental protection green high-performance fiber material, it is composed of silica, alumina, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide and titanium dioxide and other oxides of basalt stone in the high temperature melt, through the funnel plate quickly drawn from.

Basalt continuous fiber not only has high strength, but also has many excellent properties such as electrical insulation, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. In addition, the production process of basalt fiber determines that it produces less waste and less pollution to the environment, and the product can be directly degraded in the environment after disposal without any harm, so it is a veritable green and environmentally friendly material.

China has extremely rich and good quality basalt ore reserves, which are spread all over the country. China's rapidly changing economic development and technological innovation also provide a broader application space for basalt fiber, and now the country has listed basalt fiber as one of the four high-tech fibers encouraged for development.

According to the "2019-2025 China Basalt Fiber Market Survey Analysis and Development Trend Forecast Research Report" published by China Research Institute of Industry

At present, there are more than 70 continuous basalt fiber manufacturers registered by industry and commerce in China, including 12 manufacturers with large-scale production (more than 3,000 tons/year), and the national continuous basalt fiber production capacity reached 35,500 tons in 2020, with an output of 10,900 tons. China's continuous basalt fiber production accounts for 1/2 of the world's total output, with Sichuan Province topping the country.

In terms of output value, the output value of continuous basalt fiber in Sichuan Province is 176 million yuan in 2020, ranking first in China; the output value of continuous basalt fiber in Zhejiang Province, Guizhou Province, Jiangsu Province and Henan Province is 0.2 billion yuan, 0.1 billion yuan, 0.06 billion yuan and 0.06 billion yuan respectively, with a total of 218 million yuan in 2020.

Sichuan continuous basalt fiber industry is mainly distributed in Chengdu Economic Development Zone, Deyang Luojiang District, Dazhou High-tech Zone, Guang'an Huayinshan and other places, forming a "one three wings" industrial layout, the initial formation of the whole industry chain from ore mining, raw silk production, composite materials to application products in Sichuan Province, forming a model leading effect in the country.

In terms of import and export quantity, China's basalt fiber exports in 2020 amounted to 5513.4 tons. As of January-October 2021, China's basalt fiber exports amounted to 4796.8 tons, an increase of 8.78% year-on-year; in terms of imports, according to statistics, from January to October 2021, China's basalt fiber imports increased significantly, with an incoming volume of 997.1 tons, an increase of 578.79% year-on-year.

In terms of import and export amount, as of January-October 2021, the import amount of basalt fiber in China is $736,000, up 296.53% year-on-year, and the export amount is $7,364,000, up 30.37% year-on-year.

Today, from January to October 2021, Zhejiang Province is the main import region of basalt fiber in China, with 99.8% of the import volume, mainly from the United States. Out of Zhejiang Province, Guangdong, Beijing, Fujian and a small amount of basalt fiber imports. 2021 January-October Shandong Province is China's highest basalt fiber exports, exports of 2,861.8 tons; ranked second is Jiangsu Province, exports of 748.2 tons; followed by Zhejiang Province, exports of 3,867,000 tons.

The future continuous basalt fiber industry into the province's industrial development planning, reasonable layout of continuous basalt fiber industry development in Sichuan Province, through financial special subsidies, financing subsidies, application subsidies and other ways to increase government support, guide the relevant industrial development funds to increase investment, guide commercial banks to increase loan services, focus on cultivating the development of a number of characteristic advantages of the park, support a number of backbone enterprises stronger and larger, support a number of "specialized and special" enterprises. Support a number of "specialized and special new" small and medium-sized enterprises.

Basalt fiber material manufacturing industry is a national emerging strategic industry, cohesion of new materials research and development and production of core technology, represents the development direction and trend of high-tech industry. Taking the research institute as the platform, we will focus on the research, application and development of basalt, and vigorously develop the high-tech industry with new materials and products of basalt fiber, new composite products and advanced functional composite products, and build the upstream and downstream industrial chain of basalt fiber.
