Price increases are the symptom; upgrades are the essence.

The current sustained rise in tungsten prices is not merely a cyclical fluctuation, but a profound "reassessment of industry value" and "supply-side purification."

Price has become the most direct screening mechanism, eliminating companies that rely on cheap raw materials, have low technological content, and minimal added value.

This pressure is transforming into motivation, forcing the entire industry to leap towards high-end manufacturing: companies must innovate technologically to improve recycling efficiency, optimize material performance, and overcome challenges in high-end applications in order to gain a foothold in a future market where they will have greater influence.
