The production capacity and output of manganese tetroxide in China ranks first in the world, and the domestic production capacity is mainly concentrated in Hunan, Anhui and Guizhou. Domestic top 5 enterprises account for about 88% of global production capacity.
Manganese tetroxide is an oxide, which is an important basic raw material for electronics and new energy. It can be used to produce soft magnetic manganese zinc ferrite, lithium manganese oxide as cathode material for lithium battery, negative temperature coefficient thermistor and so on. In addition, with the continuous research and breakthrough in recent years, manganese tetroxide has also been applied in the fields of pigment, thermistor, oil drilling mud weight increasing agent and so on, and the market demand is high.
After decades of development, the production technology of manganese tetroxide in China has gradually matured. At present, the methods to realize industrial production mainly include metal manganese oxidation method, manganese salt method, manganese carbonate decomposition method and so on. The production capacity and output of Manganese tetroxide in China ranks first in the world, and the domestic production capacity is mainly concentrated in Hunan, Anhui and Guizhou. Domestic top 5 enterprises account for about 88% of global production capacity.
According to the in-depth market research and development prospect prediction report of China’s manganese tetroxide industry from 2022 to 2027 released by xinsijie Industrial Research Center, Manganese tetroxide can be divided into electronic grade and battery grade, which are used to produce manganese zinc ferrite and lithium battery cathode materials respectively, with high demand in China. In 2018, the production capacity of Manganese tetroxide in China was about 110000 tons, of which the production capacity of electronic grade Manganese tetroxide was as high as 98000 tons, and the total sales volume was 78000 tons.
In the past two years, the production technology of battery grade trimanganese tetroxide has also become mature, the production process includes electrolytic manganese method and manganese salt method, etc. The products produced have high compaction density, good capacity performance, high purity and high application demand. In recent years, the output of battery grade manganese tetroxide in China has continued to rise, reaching 24000 tons in 2019.
Compared with battery-grade Manganese tetroxide, in 2018, electronic-grade Manganese tetroxide benefited from the development of electrical appliances and new energy automotive industry, and the market demand showed an increasing trend. Generally speaking, with the upgrading of electrical appliances and the development of new energy automotive industry, there are still opportunities for development in the field of battery-grade manganese tetroxide, but the excess capacity of electronic-grade manganese tetroxide is serious, and the future development space is small.
Manganese tetroxide has a wide range of applications, benefiting from the development of new energy automotive and electrical industry, battery grade Manganese tetroxide products have market development space in the future. The production technology of manganese tetroxide in China is mature, and China has become the main production country of manganese tetroxide Manganese tetroxide in the world, with high market concentration and few opportunities for the development of new enterprises.
