The SMA resin market is highly concentrated and market demand continues to grow.
SMA resin has a hydrophilic maleic anhydride ring and a lipophilic benzene ring. It has high surface activity and can be used in automobile manufacturing, household appliances, building materials, office facilities, tool manufacturing and other fields. SMA resin can be divided into two categories based on the difference in copolymer composition and sequence structure: one is an alternating copolymer (A-SMA) with a molar ratio of St to MA close to 1:1, and the other is a random copolymer with low MA content. type copolymer (R-SMA). A-SMA for industrial applications can also be divided into two categories: one is low molecular weight A-SMA, and the other is high relative molecular mass A-SMA. Among them, A-SMA is an important functional polymer with strong molecule designability. The anhydride group on the main chain can react with alcohols, amines and water to form a variety of derivatives.
According to the “2022-2026 Global SMA Resin Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, SMA Resin industrial production is difficult and costly, and the construction period of new projects is long. Therefore, from 2017 to 2021, there will be less new production capacity in the SMA resin industry in the global market. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of production capacity, global SMA resin production is still increasing.
At present, the global SMA resin industry is mainly distributed in North America, Europe, and Asia. Among them, there are many global chemical giants distributed in Europe and North America. For example, Polyscope, the world’s leading SMA resin manufacturer, not only has production facilities in Europe, but also has production facilities in the United States. It has deep technology in the field of SMA resin. With its research and strong product strength, and relying on its global industrial layout, it has achieved global expansion of SMA resin production capacity. In addition, thanks to the development of the American automobile industry, the United States has always been the world’s largest demand region for SMA resin. The demand for SMA resin in North America is mainly concentrated in the United States.
From the perspective of downstream industry development, in recent years, China’s economic development and policy incentives have driven the development of automobiles, household appliances, building materials and other fields. In addition, the performance of SMA resin and its downstream application products has improved, and the demand for China’s SMA resin market has increased. Continued to increase. At present, there are few companies in China that can mass produce and sell SMA resin. The main ones are Nanjing Yinxin Chemical Co., Ltd. and Jiaxing Huawen Chemical Co., Ltd., which are mainly distributed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which are also the main supply areas of SMA resin in China.
Industrial researchers believe that in the future, driven by the development of major downstream industries, the market demand for SMA resin will continue to grow, and the industry The development prospects are good.
