Outlook of iron oxide industry in 2023

● The pigment industry will be better in 2023

The repeated epidemic has had a great impact on the pigment industry. Whether it is the high cost of raw materials and out of stock, or the weak downstream demand, have made the pigment already under pressure at both ends of the situation is more difficult, the pigment industry has been in the bottom for a long time.

At present, the epidemic has not completely ended, the downstream industry is still in the cold winter, the price of upstream raw materials continues to shock, making it difficult to predict the future direction, the pigment industry is still struggling to adhere to the difficult situation, hoping that the future market can improve.

● In the face of the severe situation of market differentiation, we should deal with the development ideas

2022 will be a year of shock for the iron oxide industry.

In addition to the impact of the epidemic, the tightening of environmental protection policies, production safety control, the implementation of the “two-carbon” policy, and the path of green and sustainable development have brought great pressure to the pigment industry. According to the development orientation of iron oxide industry products to “meet the domestic demand and serve the global market”, we strive to achieve “large enterprises do fine, medium-sized enterprises do large, small enterprises do specialized”.

● Production enterprises should take the initiative to adapt to the development of the new situation

In such a special stage of development, production enterprises – must have a sense of crisis, in the external adjustment of sales policies at the same time, but also to practice internal skills, change thinking, take the initiative to adapt to the development of the new situation. Only by actively seeking change, innovating and developing, rapidly seizing the market and ensuring sales, can we bring long-term profits and ensure the survival of enterprises.

● Iron oxide industry to do a good job of low-carbon coating “practitioners and propagandists

As a traditional manufacturing industry, the pollution and emission of paint and pigment industry is a big problem troubling the long-term development of enterprises. In order to implement the “double carbon” policy and take the road of green and sustainable development, China Coating Industry Association puts green development in the first place. Through the joint efforts of all paint and pigment industries, to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation development, accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, accelerate the green supply chain and industrial chain improvement, promote the healthy and sustainable development of China’s paint and pigment industry, and contribute to the transformation of China from a big paint and pigment country to a strong country.

● Iron oxide industry to grasp and energy transformation work 

In order to make the iron oxide pigment industry take a new industrialization road with high scientific and technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption and less environmental pollution, better adapt to the new situation of global competition. The industry should fully implement the “Green Factory Standard of Iron Oxide Pigment Industry” to meet the requirements of green economic development.As the requirements of environmental protection, safety, low carbon and energy saving gradually become stricter, more attention should be paid to the work of environmental protection, safety, low carbon and energy saving. Mainstream enterprises should pay close attention to the upgrading of environmental protection, safety and energy saving equipment.

Therefore, the iron oxide industry can play an extremely important role in achieving the goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutral” in the future.

● Always adhere to the principle of “safety first”

Enterprises should resolutely overcome the phenomenon that workplace safety is “important to talk about, secondary to deployment and not necessary to do”. We must take production safety as the “anchor” for the survival of enterprises and the basis of production and management, and as the foundation of enterprises, unswervingly.
