The azobisisobutyronitrile industry is relatively mature and has small opportunities for future development.

Azobisisobutyronitrile is a high value-added fine chemical, a soluble azo initiator, and a polymerization initiator and foaming agent for polymers. It is currently mainly used in polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate. , organic glass, plastic, rubber, etc. are being produced. The rapid development of my country’s polymer plastics industry in recent years has driven the demand for initiators to continue to rise, which is good for the development of the azobisisobutyronitrile industry.

At present, the production of azobisisobutyronitrile still adopts the traditional process, which uses water and hydrazine to condense with acetone cyanohydrin to synthesize diisobutyronitrile hydrazine, and then uses Cl2 oxidative dehydrogenation to obtain crude azobisisobutyronitrile. After refined Get the product. The traditional production process mainly includes three processes: condensation, oxidation and refining, which is also called the “three-step” production process. This process for producing azobisisobutyronitrile has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials and simple process, so it is still used today.

Globally, Japan has a leading position in the azobisisobutyronitrile market. It has advantages such as leading technology and advanced equipment. The products it produces are of high quality and are highly favored around the world. Representative manufacturers include Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Nippo Chemical, Otsuka Chemical, etc. my country started late in the production of azobisisobutyronitrile, but it has developed rapidly. After decades of research, it has made major breakthroughs and has greatly improved in terms of output and quality, which can meet the needs of the domestic market.

According to the “2021-2026 Azobisisobutyronitrile Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center Shows that the current domestic azobisisobutyronitrile manufacturers include Dayixin Chemical, Nantong Jinghai, Jinao Chemical, Rongbai Biotech, Juntai Chemical, Shenbo Chemical, Jiacheng Chemical, Haichuan Biotech and other enterprises. There are many azobisisobutyronitrile manufacturers in China, but azobisisobutyronitrile is a fine chemical with a small market space. The current domestic production capacity is only about 16,000 tons, and there will be no new production capacity in the short term.

Generally speaking, azobisisobutyronitrile, as a fine chemical, has a small market space, and there are many substitute products for initiators, so the market development pressure is high. The total market demand for azobisisobutyronitrile in my country is about 900 million yuan. Most companies produce according to orders, with low capacity utilization and restrictions on downstream substitute products. The possibility of explosive growth in future demand is low, and the industry prospects are sluggish. .

Industrial analysts said that azobisisobutyronitrile is mainly used as an initiator and foaming agent, but with the development of polymer materials With the development of initiator products, there is an endless stream of initiator products, which poses a greater threat to the substitution of azobisisobutyronitrile and affects the development of the industry. At the same time, domestic azobisisobutyronitrile products are also facing the threat of imported products. The market development pressure is high and the space is small. There are already many companies in the market. The market is relatively mature and there are few opportunities for future development.
