What is the production situation of sintered NdFeB magnets?

　　Within nearly ten years, China NdFeB magnets industry has made a long fast development, at present the sintered NdFeB magnets sales has been with Japan, each accounted for about 41% of the world, known as the sunrise industry, cross century industry.

　　The 2000 global sintered NdFeB magnets production is about 15090 tons, China produced 5550 tonnes ( 37%), Japanese crop is 7700 tons ( 50%), the United States and Europe respectively 1020 tons ( 7%) and 820 tons ( 6%). On this basis, the expansion continues unabated, large enterprises with an annual output of 1000 tons have more and more.

　　Faced with such a strong momentum of development, we are tempted to ask: compared to world level, which level are Chinese neodymium magnets in? Anything else? In what direction?
