INDUSTRIAL CERAMICS:

Industrial Ceramics:

Ceramics are widely used in industries for a range of purposes. Due to their high heat resistant properties and extreme durability, they can be used successfully in refractory, metallurgical, glassware, oil refinery and such other processes. Today industrial ceramic manufacture is a huge industry in itself and there are several multimillion dollar companies in the field, researching and producing industrial ceramics.

Industrial Ceramic Materials:

The materials used in the production of industrial ceramics are different from those used in ceramic art forms. These materials need to be strong and durable and be able to withstand very high temperatures. The common materials used are oxides, carbides and nitrides of nonmetallic inorganic minerals.

Industrial ceramic materials have the following properties:

 I. They should have a very low coefficient of thermal expansion so that they can withstand a high temperature. This low expansion also helps the ceramics to be manufactured without much error, or else there could be a dimension difference when the ceramic is cooling down after firing.

II. They should have high melting points so that they can sustain the high temperatures used in most industrial processes.

III. They should be insulating to electricity.

IV. They should be insulating to heat.

V. They should have a high wear resistance

 PREPARATION OF INDUSTRIAL CERAMICS:

 Industrial ceramics are made from nonmetallic mineral clays. The minerals are first taken in the right proportion to obtain all the required properties, and then they are crushed and ground into a very fine consistency. In order to remove impurities, purifying chemical solutions are added to the mixture. Any impurity is removed in the form of a precipitate. Then wax is added to minerals. Wax acts as a binder and it holds the clay together. Plastics could also be added in case the ceramic requires to be more tenacious and durable. Plastic also improves the pliability of the ceramic.

 Different processes are used to manufacture industrial ceramics. Some include:

I. Slip casting

II. Pressure casting

III. Injection Molding

IV. Extrusion

 When all the processes are accomplished, and the ceramic has got its shape, the materials are molded and heated for a second and final step. This final stage in the preparation of industrial ceramics is called ‘densification’. In general the manufacture of industrial ceramics is complicated and involves numerous processes using very specific and expensive production equipment.

INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC PRODUCTS

 Ceramics are used in the industry for a wide variety of purposes that mostly involve insulation. The following are some areas where industrial ceramics are used:

I. In fuel industry, industrial ceramics are used to manufacture proppants that are required for hydraulic fracturing process of oil wells and natural gas reserves.
II. In electric appliances, industrial ceramics are used for glazing and insulation. Zirconium oxide is commonly used in manufacturing such industrial ceramics.
III. In refractories, industrial ceramics are used to manufacture crucibles and various other objects that require a high heat resistance. For the same purpose, ceramics are also used in kilns, furnaces, glass manufacture and metallurgical operations.
IV. Various electric fittings are made from aluminum oxide ceramics. Castings for fuse wires, holders of light bulbs, etc. are some of the areas where industrial ceramics are used.
V. Industrial ceramics are used to manufacture filter slices which are used to filter out waste gases in industrial operations.
VI. Zirconium ceramics are used to manufacture tips for circular knitting machines.
VII. Industrial ceramics are used in manufacture of ovens and thermal storages in industry.
Industrial ceramics are an important part of the day-to-day operations in any manufacturing process that involves heat and electricity. Though these may not be beautiful to look at, they are indispensable and highly useful to the industrial world.

INDUSTRY LIFE CYCLE:

 Life cycle models are not just a phenomenon of the life sciences. Industries experience a similar cycle of life. Just as a person is born, grows, matures, and eventually experiences decline and ultimately death, so too do industries. The stages are the same for all industries, yet industries cycle through the stages in various Lengths of time. Even within the same industry, various firms may be at different life different life cycle stages. Strategies of a firm as well as of competitors vary depending on the stage of the life cycle. Some industries even find new uses for declining products, thus extending the life cycle. Others send products abroad in hopes of extending their life.

The growth of an industry’s sales over time is used to chart the life cycle. The distinct stages of an industry life cycle are: introduction, maturity, and decline. Sales typically begin slowly at the introduction phase, and then take off rapidly during the growth phase. After leveling out at maturity, Sales then begin a gradual decline, In contrast, profits generally continue to increase throughout the life cycle, as companies in an industry take advantage of expertise and economies of scale and scope to reduce unit costs over time. Industry life cycle has five stages:

  • Pioneering development
  • Rapidly accelerating industry growth
  • Mature industry growth
  • Stabilization and market maturity
  • Deceleration of growth and decline

Our Ceramics industry in Bangladesh is in Rapidly Accelerating Industry Growth Stage in industry life cycle.

Rapidly accelerating industry growth

This stage starts when the product of the industry is accepted by the market. Further demand increases rapidly. The number of firms in the in the industry is limited at this stage and hence the firms can experience substantial backlogs of orders. Hence prices can be increased or discounts can be decreased and therefore profit margins are high. The capacity utilization goes up and even though productive capacity is increased, sales increase more rapidly. Hence high profit margins occur simultaneously with high sales growth, Profits explode. sales growth can be high up to even 50 percent year and profits can grow over 100 percent a year as a result of the low earnings base and high profit margins and increasing efficiency of the firms.

ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRY COMPETITION:

Competition and Expected Industry Returns, Porter’s concept of competitive strategy is described as the search by a firm for a favorable competitive position in an industry

  • To create a profitable competitive strategy, a firm most first examine the basic competitive structure of its industry

The potential profitability of a firm is heavily in flounced by the profitability of its industryANALYSIS OF INDUSTRY COMPETITIONPorter’s five forces:

  • Porter’s five forces is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy development developed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979. It uses concepts developing, Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market. Attractiveness in this context refers to the overall industry profitability. An “unattractive” industry is one where the combination of forces acts to drive down overall profitability. Avery unattractive industry would be one approaching “pure competition”.For our ceramics Industry Competition we use porters five forces model in the below:
  • Threats of new entrants is low because-Threats of new entrants: In this sector govt. gives different types of subsidies and relaxing laws and regulations which attract new firms to entire new firms to enter in this industry.

    Capital requirement is high.

    Hard to have access to the distribution channels of excising companies.

    Bargaining power of buyer is low because-

    Bargaining power of buyer: As there are different substitute products, the buyers can exercise their bargaining power which may effects in case of setting price.

    Undifferentiated or standard product offering competitive price

    No potential threats of backward integration by buyer

    Customers are fewer prices sensitive.

    Bargaining power of supplier is high because-

    Bargaining power of supplier: As our raw materials are supplied by different suppliers and we are highly depended on them, so, suppliers also have the bargaining power option which may effect on our sufficient amount of production level.

    There is little number of suppliers who regulate the market according to their own association

    Lack of substitute product (raw materials)

    Credible threats of forward integration by suppliers

    Threats of substitute are low because-

    Threats of substitute Products: As our products depends on customer sentiment and willingness to buy those and the existence of different substitute products, involves competition among the funds.

    There is minimum substitute product

    Industry rivalry is high because-

    Rivalry among the existing competitors: As under this industry there are many firms operating their business in the economy. So, there exists strong rivalry among the competitors.

    The market is large.

    Industry is growing at a slow rate and yet to attain its best so supply gap is evident.

    Fixed costs are high which make it hard for exiting from the market.

    Strong capital based and technologically company is in operation and grabbing major market shares.

    Porter’s concept of competitive strategy is described as search by a favorable competitive position in an industry.

    Five factors can vary dramatically among industry

  • competitive position
  • GROWTH & TRENDS:

    Ceramics are widely used in industries for a range of purposes. Due to their high heat resistant properties and extreme durability, they can be used successfully in refractory, metallurgical, glassware, oil refinery and such other processes. Today industrial ceramic manufacture is a huge industry in itself and there are several multimillion dollar companies in the field, researching and producing industrial ceramics.

  • BUSINESS CYCLE & INDUSTRY SECTOR:Economic trends can and do affect industry performance. By identifying and monitoring key assumptions and variables, we can monitor the economy and gauge the implications of mew information on our economy, outlook & industry analysis. Most observers believe that-Industry Performance is related to the stage of the business cycle is different and those who look only at history miss the evolving trends that will determine future market performance.During a recession some industries do better than others. Consumers’ staples, such as-Pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages. Outperform other sectors during a recession because, although overall spending may decline, people still spend money on necessity So, these “defensive” industries generally maintain their values. Similarly, if a weak domestic economy causes a weak currency, industries with large export  components to growing economics may benefit because, their goods become more cost competitive in overseas markets.

    As shinepukur ceramics Ltd. is considered as it is able to hold the position of peak in economic cycle.

    MACRO ECONOMIC VARIABLES:

     Generally, investors should not invest based upon the current economic environment because the efficient market has already incorporated current economic news into security prices. Rather, it is necessary to forecast important economic variables at least 3 to 6 months is the economics, consumer sentiment etc. which may affect different industry.

  • a.     Inflation:Higher Inflation is generally negative for the stock market, because, it causes higher market interest rate, it increase uncertainty about future prices & cost, and it harms firms that can not pass their cost increases on to consumers. Although these adverse effects are true for most industries, some industries benefit from inflation.

    Shinepukur ceramics Ltd. that has high operating leverage may benefit because, many of their costs are fixed in National terms where as, revenues increase with inflation.

    b.     Interest rate:

    As Shinepukur ceramics Ltd.  is an existing company in our economy, there has a negative impact of interest rate if it rises. Higher interest causes higher operating expenses which may reduce our profit margin.

c.      International Economy:

As we are producing export quality finished products, if we can create free trade zones in different countries it will broaden the market internationally and overall economic conditions will be developed.

STRUCTURAL ECONOMIC CHANGES & ALTERNATIVES INDUSTRIES:

 

a.     Demographics:

The study of demography includes much more than population growth and age distributions. Demographics also include the geographical distribution of people, the changing ethnics mix in a society and changes in a society and changes in income distribution.

b.     Technology:

Trends in technology can affect numerous industry factors including the product or service and how it is produced and delivers. As new technologies are innovated, we are able to increase our productivity and reduce our delivery time and increase our profit margin.

c.      Politics and Regulation:

Because political change reflects social values, today’s social trend may be tomorrow laws, regulations or tax. The industry and assess political changes relevant to the industry. Regulatory changes have affected numerous industries also. Regulations and laws affect international commerce, international tax, laws, tariff, quotas, embargo and other trade barriers different industries and global commerce in various ways.
