Recently, the ceramics market around the country frequently broke out the news of "large-scale shutdown", "inadequate start-up", "imbalance in production and marketing", "inventory pressure" and so on. Upstream sales of zirconium silicate are also face difficult. Even if the news of Iluka zircon sand price increase is announced, the price of zirconium silicate still difficult to rise.

According to Ceramic City Newspaper, since August, many ceramic enterprises in Zibo, Faku, Jiajiang, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places have been faced with high inventory and production line shutdown, and even more than 30 pottery enterprises in Jiajiang have been shut down. In the case of terminal market downturn, zirconium silicate market competition is particularly fierce, manufacturers dare not easily raise prices.

Some insiders predict that if the market does not improve significantly in September, some ceramic enterprises will be unsustainable, shutdown and bankruptcy. In spite of the rising raw material prices, zirconium silicate is still difficult to transfer costs to the terminal, the price increase is difficult to rise.
