Laibin's Calcium-Based New Materials Industry Rises: 5 Billion Tons of Resources Empower Full-Chain Development Toward High-End

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, leveraging its inherent resource advantage of over 5 billion tons of calcium carbonate reserves, Laibin City in Guangxi focused on the core goal of high-quality development in the calcium-based new materials industry. It has made concerted efforts to build a full-chain industrial system, driving the industry toward deep transformation toward scale, clustering, intelligence, and greening, delivering impressive development results.

　By the end of 2025, Laibin had established a core aggregate production cluster exceeding 100 million tons in annual capacity. The city now hosts over 100 calcium-based new materials enterprises above designated size, with the industry's output value approaching the 10-billion-yuan threshold in 2025. Both the number of enterprises and the scale of output value reached historic highs, demonstrating robust industrial momentum.

　The industrial capacity layout has become increasingly refined, forming a synergistic pattern where basic processing and high-end applications drive development together. In the basic processing sector, Laibin has achieved a powder processing capacity of 21 million tons, covering a full range of products including dolomite powder, calcium oxide, heavy calcium carbonate, and light calcium carbonate. Cement and cement clinker production capacity reaches 22 million tons, while ready-mixed concrete capacity stands at 22.4 million cubic meters, solidifying the foundation for industrial development. In the high-end application segment, the annual production capacity of decorative stone reaches 20 million square meters, while downstream end products like plastic masterbatch and waterproofing membranes total 3 million tons annually. A robust, coordinated development across the entire industrial chain has been fully established.

Reserves Exceed 5 Billion Tons with Excellent Quality and Ease of Development

Data indicates that Laibin City possesses uniquely abundant calcium carbonate resources, with reserves exceeding 5 billion tons. The deposits are large-scale, stable in stratum, and span multiple counties and districts including Xingbin, Wuxuan, Xincheng, and Heshan, forming contiguous resource-rich belts that provide ample support for large-scale industrial development. The ore quality is exceptional, with calcium content generally exceeding 95% and harmful impurities like iron and manganese below 0.5%. This fully meets high-end industrial raw material standards, enabling direct application in premium powders, construction materials, and fine chemicals without complex purification processes, significantly reducing production costs for enterprises.

　　Simultaneously, these mineral resources are concentrated near major transportation arteries, characterized by shallow burial depths and minimal overburden removal. This facilitates large-scale open-pit mining, effectively reducing extraction and transportation costs. It lays a solid resource foundation for the full-chain layout and cluster-based development of the calcium-based new materials industry.

Aggregate Production Exceeds 100 Million Tons, Building a Full-Chain Value-Added Ecosystem

Laibin City has focused on synergistic development across the calcium-based industry's upstream and downstream sectors, successfully establishing a complete industrial chain spanning mineral extraction, basic powder processing, and high-end end products. This achieves a full-process value-added closed loop of “raw ore mining - deep processing - value enhancement.”

By 2025, the city has developed a diversified, large-scale production matrix. Beyond its annual aggregate production capacity exceeding 100 million tons, it boasts annual capacities of: - 21 million tons of powder processing - 22 million tons of cement and clinker - 22.4 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete - 20 million square meters of decorative stone - 3 million tons of downstream application products with efficient coordination across all production segments supporting large-scale industrial expansion. Leveraging this comprehensive production system, the region has cultivated a cohort of industry-leading enterprises and premium products: Jinxiang Cement established Guangxi's largest 6,000 t/d new dry-process cement clinker production line, pioneering an integrated production model for cement, manufactured sand, and ready-mix concrete. Enterprises like Guohao Light Calcium and Huibin Calcium stand out with their competitive nano-calcium and lightweight calcium carbonate products, widely used in papermaking, PVC, and fine chemicals. Companies like Fumei, Huazhen, and Renxin have deepened their expertise in niche segments, developing high-value-added calcium-based new materials exported to over 30 countries and regions worldwide. Xincheng's “Silver White Dragon” stone has been recognized as one of the first “Nationally Renowned Specialty Stone Varieties,” exported to Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the Americas, establishing itself as a preferred choice for high-end decorative stone.
