The market demand for gas-generating chemicals is upgrading and my country’s technology development is becoming mature.

Gas-generating agents mainly contain NaN3, Fe2O3, KC1O3, NaHCO3 and other substances. When a car collides, a large amount of high-temperature gas produced by the combustion of the gas-generating agents causes the airbag to rapidly expand, thus achieving the purpose of protecting passengers. The performance of gas-generating agents determines the inflation efficiency and reaction speed of the gas generator, and has a significant impact on automobile safety and stability. In recent years, as the safety performance of automobiles has improved, the market demand for gas-generating agents has been continuously released.

With the development of the airbag industry, attention to the gas-generating agent market continues to increase. So far, many countries around the world, including the United States, Japan, Germany, China, etc., have carried out research on gas-generating agent technology and achieved certain results. Gas-generating agents are divided into two types: gas-generating agents and gunpowder. As research in various countries continues to deepen and related technologies continue to develop, gas-generating agents with different formulas are gradually emerging.

With consumption upgrading, residents’ needs are no longer limited to safety alone, and requirements such as comfort and speed are also constantly increasing. Traditional gas-generating agents are too violent and impactful to meet the comfort requirements of residents, so there is an urgent need to upgrade the technology of gas-generating agents.

my country is the world’s largest automobile production and sales country. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to October 2022, my country’s automobile production was 22.242 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%; sales volume was 21.975 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. As the automobile market picks up, the development of the airbag market is accelerating. As one of the core components of airbags, the market demand for gas-generating agents will grow accordingly, and the industry has broad prospects for development.

According to the “2022-2026 China Gas Generating Agent Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center , my country is a major producer and consumer of gas-generating agents, and the technology of gas-generating agents is becoming mature. Gas-generating agents have high barriers in terms of technology, formula, and production qualifications. Related domestic companies include Shaanxi Qinghua Automotive Safety System Co., Ltd., Sanming Kefei Gas-Producing New Materials Co., Ltd., and Hubei Hangpeng Chemical Power Technology Co., Ltd. wait.

Shaanxi Qinghua Automobile is mainly engaged in the development, production, sales and service of automobile safety system igniters, micro gas generators and gas-generating agents. It is also the only domestic enterprise exporting gas-generating agents. At present, Shaanxi Qinghua Automobile has an annual production capacity of 500 tons of gas-generating chemicals and an annual production capacity of 15 million micro gas generators.
​
Industry analysts said that under the background of policy-driven and increasing automobile safety requirements, the penetration rate of the airbag market is increasing day by day, and the gas production As one of the core components of airbags, the market demand for chemicals will grow accordingly. Gas-generating agents have high technical, formula, and production qualification barriers. At present, the development of gas-generating agents in China is relatively mature, the industry level is high, and some companies have the ability to expand into the international market.
