Abstract: China has become the large zirconium importer and consumer in the World. Based on the analysis of the distribution, reserve, yield, demand and supply situation, consumption structure of the zirconium resources in China, this paper put forward that there are some problems existing in the Chinese zirconium industry at present, such as scarce zirconium resources in china, extremely dependent on imports, and unreasonable zirconium consumption structure and so on. In order to solve these problems, suggestions are put forward, such as vigorously promoting the development of primary zirconium ore, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of zirconium industry, and accelerating the "going out" pace of the mining and so on, to ensure the sustainable supply of zirconium resources and the sustainable and healthy development of zirconium industry in China.
