3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol) has strong production capacity and good industry development prospects

3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (APD) is also known as 1-amino-2,3-propanediol, 2,3-dihydroxypropylamine, aminoglycerin, 3-aminoglycerol, ( ±) 3-amino-1,2-propanetriol, CAS number is 616-30-8, chemical formula is C3H9NO2. 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol) is a glycerol molecular analogue, similar to glycerol It has similar physical and chemical properties and is easier to label, so it is often used as an important intermediate for the representative non-ionic X-CT contrast agents iohexol, ioversol and iodixanol. At the same time, 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) can also be used in the production of pesticides and personal care products.

The global 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol) production companies are mainly concentrated in countries and regions such as Europe, China and Japan. Among them, Norway’s Borregaard is the main manufacturer of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) in Europe, and Kashima Chemical is the main manufacturer of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) in Japan. Product production, research and development and application started early, and it is in a leading position in the world.

There are only a few companies producing 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) in China, including Inner Mongolia Shengshi Chemical Co., Ltd. and Yixing Yangyang Plastic Additives Co., Ltd. Among them, Inner Mongolia Shengshi Chemical Co., Ltd. has the largest production capacity of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol), with an output of nearly 2,000 tons, accounting for about half of the country’s share. Yixing Yangyang Plastic Additives Co., Ltd. The output exceeds 1,000 tons, and the production capacity, output and market share of other companies are relatively small. Overall, China’s 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol) industry has few manufacturing companies and the market concentration is high. According to the released “2023-2028 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (aminoglycerin) industry in-depth market research and investment strategy recommendations report” shows that in 2022, China’s 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) production will reach 3,750 tons.

​ ​ 3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol) is an important organic intermediate that is currently commonly used in the pharmaceutical field, mainly for the preparation of iodine contrast agents such as iohexol and ioversol. At present, compared with foreign countries, non-ionic contrast agents such as iohexol and ioversol are less widely used in my country. In the future, as the demand for cardiovascular and cerebral angiography and enhanced CT increases, non-ionic contrast agents such as iohexol and ioversol will The demand for pharmaceuticals will also increase, which will drive the demand for 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) to rise. Analysts believe that in the future, based on good market prospects and development potential, 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, Enterprises in the aminoglycerin (aminoglycerin) industry may continue to promote technological progress and production capacity expansion. The supply capacity of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerin) products will continue to increase, resulting in an increase in market penetration and product application scope. has expanded, resulting in continued growth in the market demand for 3-amino-1,2-propanediol (APD, aminoglycerol).
