The pesticide intermediates market has entered a mature stage and the industrial structure will continue to be optimized in the future.

Pesticide intermediates refer to some chemical raw materials or chemical products used in the pesticide synthesis process. Pesticide intermediates are a kind of fine chemicals. Limited by technology, R&D, funding and other factors, global pesticide intermediate R&D companies are mostly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. Compared with Europe and the United States and other countries, my country’s pesticide intermediates industry started late. , but the development speed is relatively fast. At present, the technical level of some pesticide intermediates has reached the international leading level.

According to the “2021-2025 Pesticide Intermediates Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, my country It is a major agricultural country, and the domestic market has a huge demand for pesticides and pesticide intermediates. In 2020, my country’s demand for pesticide intermediates has reached 4.35 million tons, and the market size has reached 130 billion yuan. Overall, in recent years, as the supply-side structural reform continues to deepen, the consumption of pesticide intermediates has shown an overall downward trend.

From 2015 to 2019, the number of new pesticide intermediate companies in my country was on the rise. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of new pesticide intermediate companies decreased significantly in 2020, and the downward trend continued in the first half of 2021. At present, my country is in The number of pesticide intermediate companies with “active/existing” status is around 1,430, mainly distributed in Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other regions.

In the international market, the main suppliers of pesticide intermediates include German companies such as BASF, DuPont, and Bayer. The leading companies occupy a major share of the global market by virtue of their advantages in capital, technology, brand, and quality. my country is a major producer of pesticide intermediates. The largest domestic production companies include Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical, Lier Chemical, Lianhua Technology, Jiujiujiu Technology, Guangxin Co., Ltd., etc.

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the pesticide intermediate industry chain is the raw material supply layer, involving chemical raw materials such as yellow phosphorus, liquid chlorine, methanol triphenyl, etc.; the middle reaches is the pesticide intermediate production layer. There are many types of pesticide intermediates, which can be divided into Fluorine intermediates, cyano group-containing intermediates, heterocycle-containing intermediates, etc.; the downstream of the industrial chain is the application layer, involving multiple pesticide products such as plant regulators, insecticides, and fungicides.

Since the development of my country’s pesticide intermediates industry has entered a mature stage and market demand and supply are relatively stable, the possibility of a substantial increase in pesticide intermediates production capacity in the future is small. However, with the advancement of science and technology and the upgrading of market demand, the pesticide intermediates industry The structure will be optimized, and industry development will become more environmentally friendly, green, and high-end.

Industry analysts said that pesticide intermediates are the basic raw materials of pesticides. my country is a major producer and consumer of pesticides, and the market for pesticide intermediates is developing. Larger space. At present, the development of my country’s pesticide intermediates industry has entered a mature stage, and the market growth rate is slowing down year by year. With the advancement of R&D technology of relevant enterprises and the increasingly strict environmental protection supervision, the development of the pesticide intermediates industry in the future will continue to be environmentally friendly and high-end. and upgrade in the direction of greening.
