The demand for stabilizers in my country is gradually growing, and local companies are developing rapidly.

Light stabilizers are one of the subcategories of plastic additives. They shield or absorb ultraviolet rays, weaken or inhibit the degradation of polymer materials under light conditions, prevent or delay the aging process of polymer materials, and prolong the aging of polymer materials. Additives for product life. According to different mechanism types, light stabilizers can be roughly divided into UV absorbers, quenchers, free radical scavengers, etc. Among them, UV absorbers can be roughly divided into benzotriazoles, benzophenones, salicylates, triazines, etc.; quenchers mainly refer to nickel organic complexes; free radical scavengers mainly include Refers to the hindered amine phototype.

At present, my country’s light stabilizer industry chain has been formed. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly a raw material supplier, providing raw materials such as aliphatic mercaptans, fatty acids and esters, alkylphenols, fatty ketones or alcohols; the midstream is a light stabilizer manufacturer, responsible for the production and manufacturing of light stabilizers; The downstream is mainly oriented to application fields and is mostly used to produce adhesives, coatings, plastics and other products.

From the downstream of the light stabilizer industry chain, plastics have become the largest application field of light stabilizers. Plastics can be made into various forms of plastic products by virtue of their good formability and low production costs. Plastic additives are important materials for making plastic products, and their consumption has shown a steady growth trend. From 2018 to 2022, my country’s plastic additives consumption increased from 5.8572 million tons to 7.2861 million tons. The growing consumption of plastic additives has indirectly driven the development of the light stabilizer market.

According to the “Light Stabilizer Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, with As the level of my country’s manufacturing process continues to improve, consumers have gradually increased their requirements for anti-aging and anti-ultraviolet rays of plastic products. At present, my country has become a major consumer of light stabilizers. Against this background, the demand for light stabilizers in my country has shown a trend of increasing year by year. From 2016 to 2022, my country’s demand for light stabilizers will increase from 164,700 tons to 267,500 tons, with a compound growth rate of 8.42%. From the perspective of my country’s light stabilizer market segment, free radical capture agents account for the largest share of the overall light stabilizer market, accounting for 69.87%; followed by ultraviolet absorbers, accounting for 20.45% of the market; quenchers account for 20.45% of the market. The ratio is the smallest, 9.68%.

Industry analysts said that at this stage, the main foreign light stabilizer manufacturers include Momentive, Dow Corning, Samsung General Chemical, and Shin-Etsu Chemical , Rohm and Haas, Sekisui Chemical, BASF, etc. The domestic large-scale light stabilizer manufacturers mainly include Zhenxing Chemical, Lucky New Materials, Lianglong, Xinxing Chemical, Fubia, Jinwei Chemical, Tiangang Auxiliaries wait. Foreign light stabilizer companies occupy part of my country’s market by virtue of their advantages such as relatively mature production technology and high product quality. Domestic light stabilizer companies started late, but are developing rapidly. The gap between production technology and the international advanced level is gradually narrowing, product quality is gradually improving, market competitiveness is gradually increasing, and domestic substitution is expected to be achieved.
