1. The pattern of the “three major systems” of the world beryllium industry will continue

The world’s beryllium resources (calculated as Be) have reserves of more than 100,000 t. At present, the global annual consumption is about 350t/a. Even if it is calculated according to 500t/a, the global demand can be guaranteed for 200 years. At present, American Materion Company and Kazakhstan’s Urba Metallurgical Plant are fully able to provide sufficient beryllium and beryllium alloy products to the world market to meet market needs. The products of Northwest Rare Metal Materials Research Institute Ningxia Co., Ltd., Minmetals Beryllium Industry Co., Ltd. and Hengsheng Beryllium Industry Co., Ltd. basically meet the needs of China’s metal beryllium and beryllium oxide market, so the market does not support the establishment of large-scale beryllium enterprises. The “three systems” pattern will continue.

2. The strategic position of metal beryllium materials is further improved, and the industrial development depends on the national defense and military industry

The development of high-tech and scientific and technological progress, as well as the promotion of the inter-state arms race on beryllium will be further enhanced and enhanced.

3. The demand and consumption of beryllium alloys and beryllium oxide ceramics are increasing year by year, and the industry has broad prospects for development

Among beryllium alloys, beryllium copper alloys and beryllium aluminum alloys have broad prospects for future development, among which beryllium copper alloys occupy a major position. The global demand for beryllium copper alloys as deformed alloys for conductive elastic materials has not changed much, while the demand for cast and forged products continues to be strong. China’s beryllium-copper wrought alloy market has expanded rapidly, but Japan and Europe and the United States have gradually reduced their demand with the massive transfer of industries such as home appliances to foreign countries. Markets such as China, India, and South America are expected to continue to grow in the future. In addition, with the improvement of reliability requirements, Japan will also develop new uses of beryllium copper deformed alloys in electric vehicles and renewable energy. If the problem of environmental pollution caused by beryllium, which hinders the development of the beryllium copper alloy market, can be solved, the world demand will gradually increase. In addition, the demand for beryllium copper casting and forging products in aircraft, oil drilling rigs, and optical fiber cable submarine repeaters continues to improve, mainly because the European and American markets are growing rapidly. Due to continued consumer computer and telecom infrastructure markets and increased use in the automotive electronics market. Beryllium consumption is also expected to increase rapidly through the development of Asian markets and Latin America. It is expected that throughout the 1980s, the average annual growth rate of beryllium copper alloy consumption will be 6%, accelerating to 10% in the 1990s. In the future, the annual growth rate of beryllium copper alloy will remain at least 2%. The overall beryllium market is expected to grow by 3% to 6% per year.
