High-performance microsphere materials have good prospects and foreign brands dominate

High-performance microsphere materials mainly include chromatography fillers/chromatography media, spacer microspheres, spacer silicon spheres, conductive gold spheres, etc. Among them, chromatography filler/chromatography medium microspheres are core materials used to capture and purify target biological active ingredients from biological fermentation broth. They are also important for the separation and purification of small molecule drugs such as antibiotics, organic synthetic drugs, chiral drugs, and natural drugs. Materials; spacer microspheres are mainly used to accurately control the thickness of the LCD panel box and play a role in supporting the upper and lower glass substrates; conductive gold balls are mainly used for LCD frames by plating metal layers such as nickel and gold on the surface of polymer microspheres. , which acts as a conductive connection.

High-performance microsphere materials have the characteristics of high mechanical strength, highly uniform particle size, and strong stability. They are mainly used in fields such as biomedicine, flat panel display, analysis and detection, and in vitro diagnostics. According to the “ 2022-2026 High-Performance Microsphere Materials Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center , the global high-performance microsphere materials market will reach 21.036 billion yuan in 2021.

Industry analysts said that high-performance microsphere materials have high technical barriers and high global market concentration, with the TOP10 market share reaching 82.7 %. Among them, Cytiva (formerly GE Healthcare) is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance microsphere materials, with a market share of 33.4%. At present, spacer microspheres, conductive gold spheres, light diffusion microspheres, etc. used for flat panel displays are mainly monopolized by Japanese companies such as Sekisui; separation and purification medium microspheres used in biopharmaceuticals, and chromatographic column silica gel packing microspheres used for analysis and detection It is mainly monopolized by European and American companies, such as American Cytiva, American Bio-Rad, German Merck, Swedish Kromasil, American Thermo Fisher, etc.

China is a major producer of biomedicine and LCD panels in the world and consumes a large amount of high-performance microsphere materials every year. However, there are few domestic enterprises in China, the production scale is small, and the import dependence of high-performance microsphere materials is high. Suzhou Nanomicro Technology Co.,Ltd (Suzhou Nanomicro Technology Co., Ltd.) and Borgron (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. are the largest manufacturers of high-performance microsphere materials in China. Among them, Suzhou Nanomicro Technology Co., Ltd. has the largest development Rapidly, it has entered the global top 10 list of high-performance microsphere materials companies.
