The development trend of the azo pigment industry is improving. my country is the world’s major producer and consumer country.

Azo pigments refer to insoluble organic compounds containing azo groups in their molecular structure. They are the pigments with the largest variety and largest output among organic pigments. According to different chemical structures, azo pigments can be divided into condensed azo pigments, insoluble azo pigments, azo lake pigments, etc.; according to the number of azo groups, they can be divided into monoazo pigments and disazo pigments.

Azo pigments have the advantages of high transparency, strong tinting power, bright colors, complete colors, good light resistance, high hiding power, good solvent resistance, simple synthesis process, and low production cost. They are widely used in inks, coatings, rubber, plastics, It is widely used in papermaking, textiles, leather products, cultural and educational supplies, cosmetics and other fields. Currently, driven by the rapid development of the national economy, my country has become the world’s major consumer of organic pigments. As a mainstream product in the organic pigment market, azo pigments have a relatively broad market demand.

The companies currently in the domestic azo pigment market mainly include local companies such as Lily, Qicai Chemical, Shuangle Co., Ltd., United Chemical, Yuhong Pigments, Wucai Fine Chemicals, as well as Dickson Group, Apollo Paint, Royal Terrence, Ke Lane and other international companies. Among them, United Chemical is the leading company in the domestic azo pigment market. Its main business is the research and development, production and sales of azo organic pigments. Its downstream customers include many leading ink companies.

There are a large number of azo pigment companies in my country. As the production capacity of local companies continues to be released, the output of azo pigments has shown a steady increase. According to the “China Azo Pigment Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , domestic azo pigment production will be approximately 125,000 tons in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%. At present, my country has become one of the world’s major producers of azo pigments.

​
my country’s azo pigment market is still dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with low industry concentration. Moreover, this type of enterprise mainly targets the mid- to low-end market and has weak innovation capabilities, resulting in fierce competition in the mid-to-low-end azo pigment market in my country. However, in recent years, as the green development trend of the domestic azo pigment industry has gradually increased, safety and environmental protection supervision of small and medium-sized enterprises has continued to strengthen, and some companies have gradually withdrawn from the market due to difficulty in coping with environmental pressure. The concentration of the domestic azo pigment industry has continued to increase. , the industry development trend is improving.

Industry AnalysisPersonnel said thatAzo pigments are the mainstream products in the organic pigment market. At present, our country has become the world’s major producer and consumer country. With the rapid development of the domestic azo pigment market and the continuous upgrading of production technology, its production and sales scale continues Expansion, the industry shows good development trends. However, at present, my country’s azo pigment companies are still mainly concentrated in the mid-to-low-end market. In the future, local companies will need to increase their efforts in product research and development.
