Abstract: China’s boron resources are highly concentrated.The type of deposit is rich.There are more low-grade ores than high-grade ores, and the economic availability is poor.The boron resources product’s quantity overall decline.This paper analyzes the history and current situation of boron consumption in China, uses the “S” shape theory to forecast the consumption of boron, and analyzes the supply and demand situation.China’s boron consumption may peak in 2022, with a total boron demand of 970 000 t (B₂O₃).The resource gap expands, and degree of external dependence is rising.Glass industry is still the biggest demand sector.Demand for boron in the agricultural, nuclear and new energy sectors will continue to grow.Finally, this paper indicated several suggestions to protect the safety of boron resources in China.These suggestions are: increase boron exploration efforts and achieve comprehensive utilization of boron, lithium and potassium; strengthen the development of low-grade boron ore and high value-added products; give full play to the government and industry alliance-led top-level design and decision-making role; seize “the Belt and Road Initiative” opportunity to develop and use foreign resources.
