On June 4, the meeting for electing the president of the 2026 term and the expanded expert committee of the Inorganic Silicides Branch of the China Inorganic Salt Industry Association was held in Nyingchi, Tibet. The conference held that completely abandoning extensive expansion and achieving greener, higher-end, more refined, and specialized development is the eternal theme for the high-quality growth of the silicon carbide industry. Yu Haoran, president of the Inorganic Silicides Subcommittee, put forward five suggestions for development in this regard. 　　Yu Haoran analyzed that, after years of rapid development, China has become the world’s largest producer, consumer, and exporter of inorganic silicides. The production capacity and output of key products such as silica gel, sodium silicate, silica sol, and molecular sieves account for over 60% of the global total, giving China a dominant position in the global industrial chain and supply chain. At the same time, the industry faces multiple challenges, including homogeneous competition in the low-end product market, reliance on imports for high-end products, increasing constraints on energy consumption and carbon emissions, and rising barriers in the form of international carbon tariffs. 　　“At present, China is in a critical phase where green and low-carbon development is being implemented on a comprehensive scale. Policies such as the ‘dual carbon’ goals, dual controls on energy consumption, industrial upgrading, and the development of high-end manufacturing work together to outline a clear direction for the inorganic silicon industry. Completely abandoning extensive expansion and achieving greener, higher-end, more refined, and specialized development is the eternal theme for the high-quality growth of this industry. ”Yu Haoran emphasized. 　　In light of the overall trends in the inorganic salts industry and its annual development goals, Yu Haoran put forward five suggestions for the development of the inorganic silicon industry. 　　First, we will pursue a path of green and low-carbon development. It is necessary to continue increasing investment in energy-saving and carbon-reduction upgrades, vigorously promote advanced energy-saving and environmental-friendly production processes and equipment, fully advance the recycling of resources, strictly control industrial emissions, and build a green and low-carbon cluster of inorganic silicide industries. 　　Second, adhere to innovation-driven development. We must focus on developing high-end products that are in short supply in the market, optimize the product portfolio, eliminate low-quality and inefficient production capacity, and explore new areas and markets for product applications. 　　Third, strictly adhere to the red lines for safety and environmental protection. It is necessary to conduct regular inspections and rectifications of potential hazards in order to ensure compliant production and stable operations. 　　Fourth, maintain a healthy and orderly market environment. It is necessary to stick to the original intentions of the industry, abandon malicious competition based on low prices, exchange industry information, share development resources, and work together to help one another. 　　Fifth, deepen industrial collaboration to expand opportunities for diversified development cooperation. Actively explore new models for industrial cooperation between the eastern and western regions as well as for the integration of resources across different areas; streamline the channels for linking upstream and downstream industries; strengthen the domestic market; steadily expand into high-quality overseas markets; and promote the development of the inorganic silicide industry through coordinated efforts both domestically and internationally.
