Electronic Ceramics with Continuous Expansion of Application

In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic instruments, household appliances, and communication equipment technology, the market demand for electronic ceramic components is growing rapidly. last year, the global market for electronic ceramic components reached 210 billion US dollars, with an annual compound growth rate of more than 15%.

In 2020, the Shanghai International Electronic equipment, components, and Electronic Instruments Exhibition was held in Shanghai International Expo Center. The exhibition products cover electronic components manufacturing equipment, all kinds of quartz, electronic ceramic materials and SMT components production and mounting technology, etc., aiming to create a professional exchange and service display platform by integrating scientific and technological innovation achievements at home and abroad, and further promote the rapid development of the global electronic components industry.

In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic instruments, household appliances, and communication equipment technology, the market demand for electronic ceramic components is growing rapidly. last year, the global market for electronic ceramic components reached 210 billion US dollars, with an annual compound growth rate of more than 15%.

According to the data of China Industrial Information Network, the market scale of electronic ceramic products in China was about 39.7 billion yuan last year, with an industry growth rate of more than 12%.

With the continuous expansion of the application of electronic ceramics, zirconia materials will have a broader market space, there is a certain reason to say it:

First, from the chemical composition, electronic ceramics are divided into zirconia, silicon carbide, alumina, and other ceramics. Among them, zirconia ceramic is a new type of high-tech ceramics, which not only has the advantages of high strength, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and high chemical stability of precision ceramics, but also has the high toughness of general ceramics. zirconia is widely used in various fields.

In the field of consumer electronics, zirconia ceramics are favored by fingerprint recognition module patches and mobile phone housings because their hardness is close to that of sapphires, but the total cost is less than that of sapphires, and their folding resistance is higher than that of glass and sapphires, non-conductive and unshielded signals.

Second, electronic ceramics have unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties, which play a key role in the fields of electronic communication, automation, energy conversion, and storage.

Electronic zirconia ceramics are mainly divided into structural ceramics and functional ceramics. Among them, structural zirconia ceramics are used in the manufacture of electronic components, devices, components, and other insulating parts; functional zirconia ceramics are mainly used in the manufacture of capacitors, resistors, inductors, filters, and sensors.

Third, zirconia ceramics are mainly used in small structural parts such as the appearance of consumer electronics products, fingerprint recognizers, and lock screen volume keys. Ceramic appearance parts provide more possibilities for the differentiation of electronic products, especially in the aspects of shell material, color, and so on. At present, major brand manufacturers are also actively promoting the ceramic appearance of smart wearable devices and mobile phone shell products.

Apple’s Apple Watch uses ceramic as the back cover, and many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have launched zirconia ceramic models one after another. It is estimated that by 2021, the market size of mobile phone ceramic shell will exceed 30 billion yuan. In addition, zirconia ceramic, as a more ideal capacitive fingerprint identification patch material than sapphire, has been widely used by major mobile phone manufacturers. It is estimated that by 2021, the market size of fingerprint identification ceramic patch will exceed 1.6 billion yuan, and there is a lot of room for development in the future.

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the electronic zirconia ceramic industry is electronic ceramic basic powder and formula powder, the middle reaches are electronic ceramic materials and components, and the downstream application industries include consumer electronics products and communications.

With the continuous improvement of the market penetration of fingerprint identification module patch and mobile phone shell, the whole electronic ceramic industry chain will usher in the opportunity for rapid development.
