Triisopropylsilyl chloride market concentration is high and the industry structure is difficult to change

The chemical formula of triisopropylsilyl chloride is C9H21ClSi, with a molecular weight of 192.8. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, soluble in organic solvents such as ether, with a density of 0.901g/cm3, a refractive index of 1.452, and a boiling point of 198°C. Triisopropylsilyl chloride is an important sterically hindered silicone protective agent. It is mainly used to protect various types of hydroxyl groups, especially in multifunctional hydroxyl compounds. It can selectively protect and deprotect, which is very important for The synthesis of nucleosides, nucleotides and sugar compounds is very important; triisopropylsilyl chloride can be used to synthesize new marine ship antifouling coating resins; as a pharmaceutical intermediate, triisopropylchlorosilane can be used in the anti-tumor inhibitor G12C Production.

The technical threshold for triisopropylsilyl chloride is relatively high. In addition, the market capacity is not large and there are few domestic production companies. The main companies include Zhejiang Hutu Silicone Technology Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Shengshi Chemical Co., Ltd., and Huangshan Jiahua Silicone Technology Co., Ltd. . Among them, Inner Mongolia Shengshi Chemical Co., Ltd. was the first to achieve large-scale mass production of triisopropylsilyl chloride in China. Its production scale is relatively large and it has a strong influence in the triisopropylchlorosilane market. Zhejiang Hutu Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. not only has a large production scale, but also has improved its production equipment and has strong technical strength. Huangshan Jiahua Silicone Technology Co., Ltd. has a small production scale and relatively weak competitiveness. Overall, the number of enterprises in China’s triisopropylchlorosilane industry is relatively small, the industry’s production capacity and output are relatively concentrated, and industry competition is relatively relaxed.

At present, triisopropylsilyl chloride is mainly used in the field of ship coatings, and also has a small amount of applications in medicine. The actual application is very narrow, and the application scale in various fields is relatively limited, resulting in a small market capacity of triisopropylsilyl chloride. According to the released “2023-2027 Triisopropylchlorosilane Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report“, 2022 In 2018, China’s triisopropylsilyl chloride market size was 63.78 million yuan. The small market capacity of triisopropylsilyl chloride has lowered the upper limit of industry development and limited the scale and number of enterprises in the triisopropylchlorosilane industry. This is not conducive to attracting investment and companies outside the industry to get involved in this field. If things go on like this, it is not conducive to stimulating the market. competition and promote industry progress.

Analysts believe that in the future, with the development of downstream industries such as medicine and ship coatings, the triisopropylsilyl chloride market may Getting better may prompt some companies to restart production. However, due to the small market capacity, it is difficult to attract a large amount of capital to enter the triisopropylchlorosilane production field. The number of triisopropylchlorosilane companies and the increase in production capacity are limited. In addition, the existing companies have formed a gap in the triisopropylchlorosilane industry. Advantages in scale, market and other aspects have a great adverse impact on new enterprises. The entry of new enterprises in the triisopropylchlorosilane industry is difficult to change the existing industry competition pattern.
