2026 China Superhard Materials & Products Market Analysis: Market Size to Reach RMB 87 Billion

Gongyan Industrial Research Institute compiled the "2026-2032 China Superhard Materials & Products Market Survey and Panoramic Assessment Report" based on analysis of public information, in-depth interviews with senior industry insiders and corporate executives, and professional judgments by analysts. The report provides an important reference for decision-makers and investors in the superhard materials and products industry.

To ensure data accuracy and reference value, the Gongyan team collected data through listed company annual reports, factory surveys, dealer seminars and expert verification. Using an independently developed industrial analysis model, it conducted in-depth analysis combining markets, industries and manufacturers, reflecting current market conditions, hotspots, trends and future prospects, enabling practitioners to comprehensively understand the industry from multiple dimensions.

Superhard materials refer to extremely hard materials, usually with a Mohs hardness of 10 or close to 10, and Vickers hardness exceeding 40 GPa. The world's industrial superhard materials are dominated by industrial diamond, over 90% of which is synthetic diamond. After 60 years of development, China's superhard materials industry has achieved a tremendous transformation from scratch and from weak to strong. At present, China's superhard materials industry dominates the global market.

With the continuous development of nanotechnology, intelligent manufacturing and other technologies, the synthesis, processing and application of superhard materials will keep innovating and upgrading. Superhard materials will show superior performance in mechanics, optics, electricity, thermology and other aspects, becoming key materials in many fields. China's superhard materials and products market is expected to grow by 14.5% year-on-year in 2026.

High-end sectors such as semiconductors, new energy and aerospace are becoming new growth engines for superhard materials. Taking semiconductors as an example, as chip processes evolve to nanoscale, superhard materials, as key consumables for wafer dicing and polishing, are shifting from "general-purpose" to "high-purity, low-defect" products. In new energy, the thinning of photovoltaic silicon wafers drives the iteration of diamond wire saw technology, and the demand for superhard cutting tools for power battery material processing continues to expand.
