The high-quality development of my country’s economy will drive the release of market demand for organic fluorine materials

Organofluorine materials refer to hydrocarbons containing fluorine. Depending on their uses and properties, organic fluorine materials mainly include fluorine-containing fine chemicals, chlorofluorocarbons and their substitutes, fluoropolymers and their processed products, etc. As an important new chemical material, organic fluorine materials have excellent performance and a wide range of downstream applications, involving defense industry, electronic appliances, machinery, automobiles, aerospace, rail transportation and other fields. They play an irreplaceable supporting role in the national economy. .

According to the “2022-2027 China Organic Fluorine Materials Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, The organic fluorine materials industry has the characteristics of high technical content, high product added value, and high market concentration. Globally, the organic fluorine materials market is mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, Japan and other countries and regions, among which DuPont, 3M Company, Hoechst, Daikin Seven companies, Ausimont, ATO and ICI, account for about 90% of the world’s production capacity of organic fluorine materials.

At present, the fluorine chemical industry has been listed by the state as an industry that encourages the development of terminals, and organic fluorine materials are the sub-industry with the most technical content and development prospects in the field of fluorine chemicals. After years of development and accumulation, my country’s research and development capabilities and production capabilities of organic fluorine materials have been greatly improved. However, due to the lack of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, the supply of high-end organic fluorine materials still cannot meet domestic market demand, and market demand still relies on imports. Overall, my country’s organic fluorine industry still presents structural problems of excess primary products and insufficient production capacity of high-end products.

At this stage, my country’s economy is in a critical period of rapid growth and high-quality development. Transformation and upgrading, quality improvement and efficiency improvement are expected to become the main theme of the development of the organic fluorine materials industry. Under the strategic goal of “Made in China 2025”, my country’s urbanization, informatization, industrialization, and modernization processes are constantly accelerating, which will provide broad space for the development of the organic fluorine materials industry.

At this stage, my country’s organic fluorine material-related manufacturers include Shandong Dongyue, Zhejiang Juhua, Shanghai Sanaifu, Xinzhoubang, etc. In recent years, in order to meet the domestic high-end market demand, Chinese companies have begun to deploy high-end organic fluorine materials market, such as the high-performance organic fluorine materials project of Zhonghao Chenguang Chemical Research Institute Co., Ltd. with an annual production capacity of 26,000 tons. In the future, as the project is completed and put into production, my country’s supply capacity of high-end organic fluorine materials will increase, and domestic substitution will gradually be realized.

Industry analysts said that my country’s organic fluorine materials industry started late and is currently incompetent in terms of equipment level, research and development capabilities, and basic research. There is still a gap compared with the international advanced level. Organic fluorine materials have a wide range of applications. With the high-quality development of my country’s economy, the market demand for high-end organic fluorine materials will continue to be released. In the future, domestic enterprises will still need to increase investment in product and technology research and development to promote the transformation and upgrading of the organic fluorine materials industry.
