Ceramic Casing and Its Application Market Analysis

The zirconia ceramic sleeve is the core component of the fiber optic adapter and module RECEPTACLE. Before 2000, only Japanese companies such as Kyocera and Toto mastered the complete production technology of zirconia ceramic casings. Japan has not transferred zirconia ceramic casing technology to China.

With the increasing demand for ceramic bushings in the development of the domestic optical communications market, in order to reduce costs and increase the competitive advantages of domestic products, the country has paid attention to the localization of zirconia ceramic bushings, so it is “863” in the “Tenth Five-Year” countries. In the high-tech development plan, the "zirconia powder for ceramic connector ferrule cores" and "large-scale localization technology for zirconia ceramic ferrules for fiber optic connectors" were respectively supported. The units engaged in zirconia casing research in China mainly include Shanghai Silicate Research Institute and State Key Laboratory of Ceramics of Tsinghua University.

After several years of research and development, domestic enterprises and research institutes have mastered a complete set of production technology for ceramic casing from zirconia powder to precision machining. The technical progress of the ceramic sleeve is mainly reflected in the large-scale improvement of the quality of the zirconia nano-powder and the reduction of the damage of the zirconia ceramic sleeve during use and the improvement of the service life. The raw materials of nano-zirconia used for manufacturing ceramic ferrules and bushings have long been monopolized by Japan. The zirconia powders produced by Tosoh Corporation and Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd. have high purity, low sintering temperature, high density, and high material strength. However, in the past, the quality of zirconia powder produced in China was far from that of Japanese product users and could not be used to produce ferrules and bushings. When using unqualified zirconia powder to produce ceramic ferrules or bushings, after long-term use of the product, the ferrule end face will become rough, so that the insertion loss of the ferrule will increase significantly; while the casing will be greatly reduced due to aging, the sleeve The tube will be damaged.

In the past ten years, the production capacity, production technology and product quality of zirconia ceramic bushings in China have been greatly improved. The quality of domestic zirconia powder raw materials has been improved, which has promoted the localization of ceramic batch materials and comprehensively mastered bushing sleeves. The full set of production technology of tube precision machining has basically reached the level of Japanese products, and various types of adapters produced using domestic ceramic sleeves can fully meet the needs of optical communications from high-end to low-end various occasions.

As mentioned above, before 2000, only Japanese companies such as Kyocera and Toto mastered the complete production technology of casing. Japan has not transferred zirconia ceramic casing technology to China. At the same time, raw materials of nano-zirconia used for manufacturing ceramic ferrules and sleeves have long been monopolized by Japan.

After several years of efforts, with the inward transfer of technology and the strengthening of independent research and development capabilities, domestic enterprises and research units have mastered the full set of production technology for ceramic casing from zirconia powder to precision machining after several years of research and development. Most of the products have replaced imported products and become the world's largest ceramic casing producer. Foreign-funded enterprises have lost their technological advantages, and their cost disadvantages have gradually emerged. Now only three or four companies are still in the market, but their shipments are not as large as those of domestic companies. Therefore, the current competition in the industry is mainly from domestic companies.

At present, the number of manufacturers of ceramic bushings is not small. According to the statistics of ICCSZ, there are currently more than 40 manufacturers of ceramic bushings globally, and the industry as a whole still belongs to a completely competitive market. However, due to technological and other reasons, there are only about ten companies that have mastered core technologies and achieved scale production. Industry competition is relatively mature and rational. With the expansion of production capacity of several major manufacturers in the next few years, the concentration of industrial markets will be strengthened, and industry competition will further slow down.

Watch the demand for fiber adapters in the global and Chinese markets in the past three years. Due to the financial tsunami that broke out in 2008, the overall market growth rate in 2009 slowed down. By 2010, the market resumed its original growth stimulated by the rapid growth of IP traffic. speed.

In 2009, the global demand for fiber optic adapters was approximately 380 million, an increase of 3% compared to 2008. Among them, the demand for fiber adapters in the Chinese market is about 79.5 million, which is 8.9% compared to 2008. This is due to the commencement of 3G in China and the resumption of integration of three major operators into full-service carriers. With the construction of broadband networks, China's fiber adapter market is developing slightly faster than the global market.

In 2010, the global optical communications market recovered faster than expected, and the market demand for optical devices grew. The global demand for fiber optic adapters reached 445 million, with an annual growth rate of 17%. At the same time, in the Chinese market, under the support of government policies, the triple play has become ice-breaking, and SVA has also actively joined the optical fiber network construction team. The demand for domestic optical fiber adapters has steadily increased.

Since 2011, global telecom capital expenditures have entered the five-year capital increase cycle. The development of the optical communications industry is highly related to the capital expenditure of telecommunications. The increase in capital expenditures of Internet service providers such as telecom operators, radio and television operators, and Google will directly increase the market demand for optical communications equipment, optical fiber distribution frames, and related test and measurement equipment. This will promote the physical connection of communications networks such as fiber optic adapters. Development of fiber optic connectors, etc.

Therefore, it is expected that by 2015, the global demand for fiber optic adapters will increase to 912 million, an annual growth rate of about 15%. Among them, the demand for fiber adapters in the Chinese market is expected to increase to 186 million, and its share in the global market will reach 21%.

With the growth of capital investment in the global telecommunications industry, we expect the global fiber optic adapter market and the optical transceiver module market will steadily move forward in the next five years, thus driving the development of the ceramic casing market.

In 2010, the global demand for ceramic casing was approximately 717 million. It is expected that by 2015, this figure will double to nearly 1.43 billion.

At present, the market demand in China is about 146 million. With the promotion of domestic fiber optic network construction and 3G network construction in the next five years, it is expected that by 2015, the demand for ceramic bushings in the Chinese market will increase to 300 million.
