The reason for the sluggish white corundum market?
Production cost of white corundum: The raw material of white corundum is industrial alumina powder. Now that the price is rising continuously, the price increase of industrial alumina powder cannot be suppressed. Electricity support, energy saving and emission reduction Today’s electricity prices are also rising rapidly, especially most of the abrasive factories are small factories. There are a lot fewer big factories, and they can’t get preferential prices.
The abrasive market is going downhill: there are so many customers all over the world who need abrasives, and now there are more manufacturers selling white corundum, which also leads to the oversupply of white corundum abrasives.
Fierce factory competition: White corundum manufacturers are also racking their brains to find ways to sell goods, and the competition is naturally becoming more and more fierce.
Outdated equipment and technology: The factory is small in scale, lack of funds, the purchased production equipment is relatively backward, and the method of producing products has always been the same as the old method. But now customers are demanding more and more when purchasing, not only the aluminum content must meet the standard, but also the iron content, titanium content and silicon content should not exceed the standard. Even the inspection of various indicators has reached two decimal places, but from the products produced in the market, it can be seen that many white corundum manufacturers do not meet the standards, and the impurity content is too high to meet the demand.
Insufficient labor force: The equipment of many old white corundum manufacturers is not intelligent enough, and most of the work needs to be done manually, but now fewer and fewer workers can be recruited, and more and more workers are retired in the factory, so the shortage of labor is inevitable . It will take a long time to solve this problem
