Development status of China's hydrotalcite industry in 2020 and analysis of major enterprises: the market scale is rapidly increasing, and there is a large space for domestic substitution [figure]

Hydrotalcite （Hydrotalcites,HT） It is a kind of anionic clay with layered structure , Its structure is similar to brucite , The general chemical formula is [M2+1-xM3+x（OH）2]x+（An-）x/n·mH2O, among M2+ and M3+ Represent the divalent and trivalent metal ions occupying the central position of octahedral hydroxide on the laminate respectively ,An- It is interlayer anion . Hydrotalcite can be divided into pharmaceutical grade and industrial grade according to its application fields .

The upstream of hydrotalcite industry is aluminum salt 、 Magnesium salt 、 Sodium hydroxide and chemical equipment . The development of upstream industries is crucial , It directly affects the supply quantity and quality of raw materials for hydrotalcite industry . The downstream of hydrotalcite is for pharmaceutical manufacturing 、 plastic 、 Flame retardant material 、 Environmental protection treatment and other fields , Downstream sales are not only the circulation end of hydrotalcite products in the midstream, but also the role end of brand influence of industrial enterprises , Product quality and sales network are the core competition of enterprises .

Hydrotalcite is divided into natural hydrotalcite and synthetic hydrotalcite , Because the natural hydrotalcite mining is difficult and the purity is not high , The market supply of hydrotalcite is mainly synthetic hydrotalcite . Synthetic hydrotalcite as PVC The application of heat stabilizers was first seen in 20 century 80 In the early s, Japanese union chemistry published articles . Compared with Japan , My country until 21 At the beginning of the century, researchers began to study synthetic hydrotalcite and its application . After years of development , China has made great progress in the production of synthetic hydrotalcite , however , On the whole, there is still a gap with international advanced products .

2012 In, the market scale of hydrotalcite in China was 2.37 One hundred million yuan ,2020 In, the scale of China's hydrotalcite market increased to 9.40 One hundred million yuan ,2012 Since, the compound growth rate of hydrotalcite market scale has been 18.79%.

Hydrotalcite is widely used , According to the manufacturing process and the content and type of impurity elements , Its application fields and prices are also quite different . According to the content and type of impurity elements , Hydrotalcite can also be divided into industrial grade and pharmaceutical grade . Compared with industrial grade products , The manufacturing process of pharmaceutical grade products is more demanding , But the application field is limited , It is mainly used for medical purposes PVC field , The market capacity is relatively small .2020 In, the market scale of China's hydrotalcite industry reached 9.40 One hundred million yuan , Including industrial grade 8.36 One hundred million yuan , Medical grade 1.04 One hundred million yuan , Grow separately 19.26% and 15.56%.

There are many hydrotalcite production enterprises in China , But the competition is mainly concentrated in the low-end fields , In high-end applications , Such as the production of polypropylene resin in energy and chemical enterprises and the production of highly transparent PVC , China still mainly imports synthetic hydrotalcite , Concorde chemistry in Japan 、 Chemical enterprises have a large market share in the high-end field . However, in recent years, Chenghe shares has continuously invested in R & D , The synthetic hydrotalcite produced by the company has the performance for application in high-end fields , It has become the only domestic synthetic hydrotalcite product designated by SINOPEC , It has realized the import substitution in this product field .

Chenghe Technology Co., Ltd （ abbreviation “ Chenghe Technology ”） Founded on 2002 year , The core product R & D starts from 1995 year , After 20 years of rapid development , The company has become specialized in the research and development of polymer additives 、 An enterprise that produces and operates , It is a high-tech enterprise recognized by the state .

The company's hydrotalcite products include general synthetic hydrotalcite 、 Highly transparent synthetic hydrotalcite and flame retardant synthetic hydrotalcite products . In the past three years , The compound growth rate of the sales revenue of the company's synthetic hydrotalcite is 27.00%, The compound growth rate of sales volume is 32.27%, Sales growth is the main reason for the growth of synthetic hydrotalcite revenue . among , Single agent product is the main component of synthetic hydrotalcite products , The compound growth rate of sales volume is 35.23%, The main reason is that the market is more environmentally friendly 、 The demand for safe products is increasing rapidly ; At the same time, the company's technology and products have been recognized by the market , The increasing number of customers is also an important reason .

With the continuous expansion of downstream application demand , The development momentum of synthetic hydrotalcite market in China is increasingly strong , The prosperity of the industry has gradually improved . For now , Although Chenghe technology has achieved domestic substitution in some high-end fields , But its development is still in its infancy , Compared with some developed countries in Europe and America , There is a big gap between the quality of domestic synthetic hydrotalcite and international advanced products , As a result, the market is occupied by foreign enterprises , In the future, there is a large space for domestic substitution .
