Sintered NdFeB production enterprises are mainly distributed in China, Japan, the United States and other countries, the current production of sintered NdFeB in China more than 100 enterprises. mainly concentrated in Zhejiang, Shanxi, Tianjin and Beijing. 2001, China NdFeB production has surpassed Japan ranks first in the world, from the development trend, this situation will continue to be maintained, NdFeB Neodymium market demand determines the production and sales of metal and metal neodymium enterprises operating conditions, development of the industry driven NdFeB Neodymium industry.
Since 1985, the world's magnet production has maintained a relatively high growth rate in the 21st century, because the developed countries the economic downturn, Japan, the United States, Europe, decreased production, but China's rapid development of rare earth permanent magnet industry has made the world of rare earth permanent magnet production still maintained a strong growth trend, and rare-earth permanent magnet industry's rapid growth momentum in recent years will continue. China Sintered NdFeB production in 2003 reached 13,700 tons, metal neodymium (including Pr Nd alloy) over sales of 10,000 tons is expected in 2005, the world will need more than 15,000 tons of metal neodymium, Nd metal mainly from China, so the future prospects for the development of China Neodymium very broad. In 2003, the basic stability of the price of neodymium metal at 60,000 yuan / ton, in October 2003, the price of neodymium metal is 6.2 yuan / ton, but some manufacturers to 58,000 yuan / ton sales price. Shows that the price is difficult Neodymium Neodymium recovery is mainly due to too many manufacturers, the more intense competition among each other and keep the prices down, producing high volume, over the years the backlog of more metal neodymium, as derived from capital, some manufacturers undersell , Nd metal prices also recovered a small range. After years of stagnation, rare earth industry, and finally the end of 2003, due to road freight and other raw materials prices, resulting in slightly higher RE prices began. Such as neodymium oxide from the 37,000 yuan / ton up to a maximum of 50,000 yuan / ton, metal neodymium from the less than 6 yuan / ton up to 70,000 yuan / ton. As the power shortage, caused many manufacturers underemployed, despite a relatively good price, many manufacturers can only opportunity to rub shoulders watched away. In 2004, China rare earth industry production capacity of 180,000 tons, more than the total world demand for rare earth more than 1 times, and most of the production process remain in the source, the fact that many companies lack the quota, only in the domestic market mutual bargain. To begin in May 2010, with the ring
