In 2023, for China's growing super-hard materials industry, opportunities and challenges coexist, and dreams and hardships coexist. This year, the global economy declined. Affected by the expansion of production capacity and weakened demand, the price of cultivated diamonds continued to decline, and the net profit of some ultra-hard material enterprises both declined.
Also in this year, the 60th anniversary of the birth of China's first artificial diamond. The 6th Abrasive Abrasives Exhibition was successfully held. The Henan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government successively issued a number of policies to promote the development of the super-hard material industry. Huawei Harbin University of Technology jointly applied for the diamond chip patent announcement, all of which made everyone to work on ultra-hard materials. The industry is full of expectations for the development prospects of diamond.
Through the communication between industries, this meeting further summarised the pain points and difficulties of development in 2023, brainstormed, and clarified the healthy and sustainable development direction of the superhard material industry in 2024.
