The barriers to entry for the fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates industry have increased, and the industry has broad room for development in the future.

Fluorine is a very special chemical element that can reduce the hydrophilicity of compounds, improve fat solubility, and change the electronic effects of compounds. It is widely used in pesticides, medicine, chemical industry and other fields. Among them, fluorine-containing pesticides have the characteristics of high efficiency, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, high insecticidal activity, and broad insecticidal spectrum. They are currently one of the focuses of the development of the global pesticide industry. The research and development of my country’s fluorine-containing pesticide industry started in the 1970s. After years of development and accumulation, my country has now become a major producer of fluorine-containing pesticides in the world.

According to the “2021-2025 China Fluorinated Pesticides and Intermediates Market Feasibility Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center, containing Fluorine pesticides are fine chemicals and are a key deployment area of ​​fluorine-containing fine chemicals in my country. Compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, my country’s fluorine-containing pesticide industry started late. Due to limitations in core technologies, there is still a certain gap between the technical level of domestic enterprises and the global advanced level.

Fluorine-containing pesticides are one of the development trends of modern pesticides. In recent years, with the continuous deepening of research, the types of fluorine-containing pesticides have gradually become richer, including permethrin, tefluthrin, tefluthrin, flumethrin, and permethrin. There are many varieties such as derymethrin and permethrin, which are involved in many application fields such as pesticides, medicines, materials, and chemical industries.

Fluorine-containing intermediates are the basic synthetic raw materials for fluorine-containing pesticides. In recent years, with the development of the fluorine-containing pesticide market, the market size of fluorine-containing intermediates has grown accordingly. Fluorine-containing intermediates are mainly divided into three categories: aliphatic fluorine-containing intermediates, fluorine-containing heterocyclic compounds and aromatic fluorine-containing intermediates. Among them, aromatic fluorine-containing intermediates include 2,4-dichlorofluorobenzene, p-fluorine Benzene series such as phenol and p-fluorobenzoyl chloride, as well as toluene series such as trifluoromethylaniline and p-trifluoromethoxyaniline, aliphatic fluorine-containing intermediates can be divided into trifluoroethanol, trifluoroacetic acid, and trichlorotrifluoroethyl Alkane etc.

There are certain technical, financial, resource and equipment barriers to the fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates industry. At the same time, environmental protection regulatory policies are becoming increasingly strict, which further increases industry entry barriers. In recent years, with the deepening of supply-side structural reform, some backward companies have gradually withdrawn from the market, and the market concentration of fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates has gradually increased. At this stage, fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates companies are mainly concentrated in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and Jiangxi In other areas, relevant companies include Sinochem Blue Sky Group, Zhejiang Yongtai Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Linjiang Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Jieshi New Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that fluorine-containing pesticides have the characteristics of high efficiency, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness, and are one of the development trends of modern pesticides. In recent years, as research continues to deepen, the types of fluorine-containing pesticides have become increasingly abundant. After years of development and accumulation, my country has formed a certain scale of fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates industrial clusters. In the future, as environmental protection supervision becomes increasingly strict, the barriers to entry for the fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates industry will further increase.
