At present, the price of magnesium metal is hovering around 17,000 yuan/mt, and the long-standing pattern of being significantly lower than aluminum prices continues to be evident, making the cost-performance advantages and functional value of magnesium alloys increasingly prominent. Awareness of and attention to magnesium materials across the upstream and downstream of the industry chain have risen markedly, momentum for industrial upgrading is accelerating, and innovative application scenarios are continuously emerging. China's magnesium industry chain is ushering in the best period of development in its history. A broad consensus has already formed across the entire industry: to work together to expand application scenarios for magnesium metal, improve the industrial ecosystem, accelerate the large-scale application of magnesium materials, and jointly promote China's transition from a “major magnesium industry country” to a “strong magnesium industry country.”
Anhui province is a major emerging industrial province. Its automobile production and NEV production have both risen to first place nationwide, and parts enterprises have also been accelerating their clustering, making it a global largest magnesium alloy industry base. The Anhui provincial government attached great importance to and supported the development of the magnesium industry chain, and has already introduced Several Measures to Promote the High-Quality Development of the Magnesium-Based New Materials Industry and Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Magnesium-Based Materials Industry, striving to build Anhui province into a China-leading and globally advanced production base, application base, and innovation base for magnesium-based materials by 2027. Hefei has also formulated the Special Plan for the Development of Hefei's Magnesium-Based New Materials Industry to accelerate the cultivation of new advantages for the development of the magnesium-based new materials industry.
