Research and analysis of the current situation of the development of Cellulose ether industry in China.Cellulose ether in China started late, developed countries develop early market is relatively mature, at present, the international well-known cellulose ether production enterprises are major global high-end market supply, grasp the application of advanced technology, compared with foreign personnel engaged in research and production of cellulose ether in China, the number of reserves and high level professional, has a certain gap in the research and development and application technology.
As the environmental protection consciousness enhancement and stricter environmental policies, environmental requirements higher and higher for building materials, high coating of environmental protection, by the vast number of consumers, prompted the rapid development of architectural coatings in recent years, promotes the growth of cellulose ethers market demand at the same time, the cellulose ether is mainly composed of ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, etc.
Dry mixed mortar mainly uses water-soluble cellulose, which can be divided into quick-dissolve type and delayed dissolve type.
In addition, cellulose ether can be used in fields closely related to us, such as batteries, toothpaste, detergent, paper making, ceramics, textiles and so on.
According to the chemical structure classification of substituents, can be divided into anionic, cationic and non-ionic ethers.
Non-ionic cellulose ether is mainly used downstream in medicine, food and testing, coatings and detergents, daily chemicals, oil drilling industry. According to the Chinese Cellulose Association data statistics, in 2012, China’s non-ionic cellulose ether production of about 100,000 tons, to 2018 China’s non-ionic cellulose ether production grew to 300,000 tons. There are two main reasons for the rapid development of the industry:
On the one hand, benefiting from the accelerating development of domestic urbanization and the promotion of national policies, the market demand for non-ionic cellulose ether to building materials grade products increases.
Two aspects, mainly cellulose ether production independent and research and development level continues to improve, in food grade and medicine and cellulose ether domestic products gradually replace the proportion of imports gradually increased, with cellulose ether to the downstream market penetration and export pull, the future cellulose ether market capacity is expected to continue to grow.
At present, China’s cellulose ether industry market pattern is scattered, product differences are large, the low-end market competition is more intense, for food and medicine and high-end varieties into the high threshold, fewer producers. Is China’s cellulose ether industry short board.
Cellulose ether according to the application field: Food grade and pharmaceutical grade and building materials grade and daily chemicals, building materials industry market demand for cellulose ether is relatively large, up to the overall market demand, including construction and coating and PVC field accounted for 80%, including coating field accounted for more than 60% of the world, in foreign cellulose ether is widely used in daily chemicals and pharmaceutical and food fields, China’s food and medicine and daily chemical applications accounted for only 11%, with the continuous expansion of the application field, the demand for cellulose ether performance in the field continues to expand.
In recent years, China’s cellulose ether market demand according to the core network “2019-2024 Chinese cellulose ether industry market research and competitive strategy prospect investment analysis report” market research and analysis data show that in 2012, China’s cellulose ether downstream market demand for 336,600 tons to the first half of 2016 cellulose ether demand up to 314,600 tons, The annual market demand is 635,100 tons, the market demand in 2019 is more than 800,000 tons, and it is predicted that the market demand in 2020 will be more than 900,000 tons. 2019-2025 China cellulose ether market capacity compound annual growth rate to maintain 3% growth, market demand will further expand new areas, the future market will show a trend of average speed of growth.
