my country's catechol production capacity continues to increase, but there is currently a certain supply gap in the market

According to different purity, catechol can be divided into two categories: industrial grade catechol and pharmaceutical grade catechol. Among them, pharmaceutical grade catechol should meet drug standards and have a purity of more than 99%. Catechol, also known as catechol and 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound that appears as colorless or white crystals. Catechol is toxic, flammable when exposed to open fire, soluble in water, ethanol, ether, pyridine, chloroform, benzene and alkaline aqueous solution.

Catechol has strong reducing properties and is an important organic chemical raw material and pharmaceutical intermediate. It is widely used in pesticides, medicines, flavors, rubber, dyes and other fields. In the industrial field, the production processes of catechol include o-dichloro method, o-chlorophenol method and phenol hydroxylation method. In recent years, under the environmental protection policy, o-dichloro method and o-chlorophenol method have long process and Due to low production efficiency and large waste emissions, its production capacity has gradually been cleared. The phenol hydroxylation method has become the mainstream production process in the catechol industry. The raw materials of the phenol hydroxylation method include phenol, hydrogen peroxide, etc.

According to the “2021-2025 Catechol Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center , in recent years, thanks to the continuous release of market demand and the optimization of production processes, the size of my country’s catechol market has been growing. In 2020, the market size will reach US$65 million, accounting for approximately 50% of the global market.

At present, my country’s catechol industry is still in the development stage, and downstream market demand is growing. In 2020, my country’s market demand for catechol will reach 24,000 tons. In the early days, my country relied on imports of catechol. However, since this century, in order to meet the needs of downstream markets, my country’s catechol production capacity has been continuously increasing. At this stage, my country has become a major catechol producer. In 2020, my country’s neighboring countries The output of the benzene industry is around 18,000 tons. Overall, there is still a certain supply gap in my country’s catechol market.

There are certain technical, financial, and R&D barriers in the catechol industry. In the international market, the main catechol manufacturers include Ube Kosan of Japan, Solvay of France, and Eni of Italy. The leading companies rely on their Its scale, technology and brand advantages account for a major share of the global market. Domestic catechol manufacturers include Jiangsu Sanjili Chemical, Shandong Cangshan Chemical, Jiangsu Tongshan Fine Chemical, etc. Imported products have a certain impact on domestic catechol.

Industry analysts said that as an important chemical raw material, catechol has a wide range of downstream applications and its market demand is constantly being released. , thanks to this, the scale of the catechol industry has gradually expanded. At present, my country’s catechol market is still in the development stage, and there is a certain supply gap in the domestic market. The catechol market has huge room for development in the future. While local companies are expanding production capacity, they also need to be wary of the impact of imported products.
