Zirconia ceramics are probably the hottest materials in the mobile phone field this year. They are more popular than glass and metal in the whole industry chain. Why are zirconia ceramics so hot this year? So what is the future of zirconia ceramics? At present, the prospect of zirconia ceramics market is very good. 

1. With the influence of 5G and wireless charging, the metal back cover of mobile phone is no longer suitable for the use of mobile phone shell because of its obvious signal shielding effect. Therefore, non-metallic materials such as glass and ceramics are applied. Ceramics have better functions than glass, and the market is not full. There is still a huge demand for development. 

2. Compared with the glass industry, the ceramic industry chain is longer, from powder to final products, there are many intermediate processes and complex processes, involving many enterprises in theindustrial chain. That is to say, ceramic materials have led to the development of a large number of ceramics-related enterprises, and the influence of glass is far beyond the reach. Therefore, it can be said that there is more power on the back of ceramics, and naturally there will be more power on the back of ceramics.

   Ceramics investment in this year has increased significantly, and in addition to ceramics-related manufacturers, mobile terminal manufacturers in this year also contributed to the promotion, especially Xiaomi. According to the author's calculation, in this year's mobile phone release, there will always be a ceramic version of the new mobile phone, such as Xiaomi 6 and millet Xiaomi 2. 

   In addition to Xiaomi will continue to use ceramic back cover next year, according to industry sources, other manufacturers such as Huawei, OPPO, Hammer will also 

start to choose ceramic back cover on the relevant high-end models. Ceramics will be further popularized in the next year. 

   In fact, ceramics with good texture and function are ideal materials for mobile phone back cover, but now the manufacturing cycle of ceramic back cover is longer, and the processing technology of precision ceramics is still very difficult. Therefore, the lack of ceramics production capacity is the key factor affecting its popularity. Therefore, now mobile phone manufacturers can only choose ceramic back cover on high-end mobile phones. 

   As a result, ceramics will still be used as the back cover of high-end mobile phones, and glass will become the next mainstream material for smartphones. But the huge industrial chain led by ceramics will also make ceramics have unlimited development potential.
