p-Nitrobenzaldehyde is mainly used in the pharmaceutical field and most of its products are sold to foreign markets.

p-Nitrobenzaldehyde, also known as 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, appears as a white or light yellow crystalline powder, with a melting point of 105-108°C, a relative density of 1.496, and a chemical formula of C7H5NO3. It is an organic synthesis and preparation of medicines and dyes. An important intermediate for fine chemicals such as pesticides and pesticides, its chemical properties are basically similar to benzaldehyde. It can undergo oxidation, reduction, carbonyl addition, condensation and other reactions, and derive many important chemical products, such as the synthesis of p-nitrobenzene-2 -Butenone, p-aminobenzaldehyde, acetaminophen, trimethoprim (TMP), thiocarbazone, p-thiourea, chloramphenicol, p-nitrobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone, acetaminophen cigarette Hydrazone (INHA-17) etc.

According to the “2023-2027 In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on the P-Nitrobenzaldehyde Industry” released by the Industrial Research Center , from the production side, because the actual application scale of the product is small, and it is a hazardous chemical, which is harmful to the environment, there are not many companies actually producing p-nitrobenzaldehyde at this stage. The main production companies include Henan Huaxin Energy Materials Co., Ltd., Jingmen Dongxin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Hubei Jiufenglong Chemical Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Jisheng Chemical Co., Ltd., competition among enterprises is relatively relaxed.

From the demand side, p-nitrobenzaldehyde can be used in medicine, dyes, pesticides and other fields. Among them, the application of p-nitrobenzaldehyde in the pharmaceutical field accounts for a relatively high proportion, while the application of p-nitrobenzaldehyde in other fields accounts for a relatively small proportion. In 2022, the application proportion of p-nitrobenzaldehyde in the pharmaceutical field will be 83.6%; the application proportion of p-nitrobenzaldehyde in other fields will be 16.4%. Judging from the sales scope of p-nitrobenzaldehyde, most of the downstream pharmaceutical companies related to p-nitrobenzaldehyde are located in India and other places. Therefore, China’s p-nitrobenzaldehyde is mainly used for export. In 2022, China’s p-nitrobenzaldehyde exports accounted for 74.4% of production.

From the perspective of development prospects, p-nitrobenzaldehyde is mainly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate to produce thiourea, nitrobenzene, trimethoprim (TMP), acetamide and nicotinamide and other products. In addition, p-nitrobenzaldehyde can also be used as a pesticide and dye intermediate. In the future, with the further development of the downstream pharmaceutical industry of p-nitrobenzaldehyde, the demand for p-nitrobenzaldehyde in the pharmaceutical field will still have room for growth. The output of pyrimidine (TMP), acetamide benzene nicotinhydrazone, etc. is limited, and their demand for p-nitrobenzaldehyde is still not large.

Industrial analysts said that due to factors such as higher prices and relatively mature substitutes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other fields are not interested in There is not much demand for nitrobenzaldehyde. However, with the advancement of China’s “One Belt, One Road” and “Going Out” policies, the export environment for domestic products, including p-nitrobenzaldehyde products, will further improve, which will be conducive to the development of p-nitrobenzaldehyde export business and superimpose the pharmaceutical field. As the application of p-nitrobenzaldehyde deepens, China’s demand for p-nitrobenzaldehyde will show an overall growth trend.
