The market demand for p-nitrochlorobenzene is vast and there are many companies with global presence.

p-Nitrochlorobenzene, also known as 4-nitrochlorobenzene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H4ClNO2. It is one of the three isomers of nitrochlorobenzene (the other two are o-nitrochlorobenzene and m-nitrochlorobenzene). Nitrochlorobenzene). Para-nitrochlorobenzene appears as a light yellow crystalline powder, which is toxic and harmful. It is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in cold ethanol, and soluble in hot ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene and other organic solvents.

The mainstream production method of p-nitrochlorobenzene is the mixed acid nitration method, which refers to using mixed acid prepared from nitric acid and sulfuric acid as raw materials, and nitrating it with chlorobenzene to generate nitrochlorobenzene, which is then separated, washed, neutralized, A method to generate p-nitrochlorobenzene through drying, crystallization and other steps. This method has the advantages of fast reaction speed and sufficient supply of raw materials.

p-Nitrochlorobenzene is an important intermediate for the preparation of dyes, medicines, and pesticides, and its market demand is relatively broad. Specifically, in the dye industry, p-nitrochlorobenzene is a key raw material for the production of azo dyes, sulfur dye intermediates p-nitroaniline, p-aminophenol, p-aminophenylene ether, etc.; in the pharmaceutical industry, p-nitrochlorobenzene is Chlorobenzene is used in the production of phenacetin, paracetamol and other drugs; in the pesticide industry, p-nitrochlorobenzene is used in the production of pesticide 1605 and herbicide ether. In addition, p-nitrochlorobenzene is also an important raw material for the production of rubber antioxidant 4010.

According to the “Research Report on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Paranitrochlorobenzene Industry from 2023 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center Shows that, benefiting from the rapid development of application fields, the market demand for p-nitrochlorobenzene continues to increase and the market size continues to rise. The global p-nitrochlorobenzene market size in 2022 will be approximately US$358.2 million, a year-on-year growth of 4.7%. From the perspective of application fields, dyes are the largest application field of p-nitrochlorobenzene. The scale of p-nitrochlorobenzene used in this field accounts for more than 35% of the global total; followed by the rubber field, the application proportion is about 15% .

Globally, there are many companies entering the p-nitrochlorobenzene market. The main companies include leading international chemical companies such as Akzo Nobel in the Netherlands, LG Chem in South Korea, TORAY in Japan, Monsanto Company in the United States, BASF in Germany, DuPont in the United States, and Anhui Bayi Chemical Industry. , Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical, Nanjing Chemical, Liaoning Shixing Pharmaceutical, Anhui Zhongxing Chemical, Taixing Yangzi Pharmaceutical and Chemical and other Chinese companies.

Industry analysts said that p-nitrochlorobenzene is an intermediate for the preparation of pesticides, medicines, dyes and a raw material for rubber additives. Wide range of applications. With the rapid development of the downstream sector, the market size of p-nitrochlorobenzene continues to expand, and the industry has broad prospects for development. From the perspective of the Chinese market, there are a large number of domestic p-nitrochlorobenzene manufacturers, but there is still a big gap between local companies and international companies in terms of technology, product performance, supply capabilities, etc. In the future, local companies will need to continue to transform and upgrade. There is huge room for growth.
