The market size of 3-cyanopyridine (nicotinonitrile) continues to expand, and the industry development prospects are good

3-Cyanopyridine, also known as nicotinonitrile, is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C6H4N2. It appears as white crystal, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, benzene and petroleum ether, and slightly soluble in water.

3-cyanopyridine is mainly prepared through chemical synthesis. Common production routes include using pyridine and cyanoacetate as raw materials, and performing a condensation reaction under acidic conditions to generate 3-cyanopyridine; using pyridine and cyanoacetate as raw materials. Acetic acid is used as the raw material, and a condensation reaction is carried out under alkaline conditions to generate 3-cyanopyridine.

3-cyanopyridine is an important class of chemical intermediates. In the pharmaceutical field, 3-cyanopyridine can be used in drug production scenarios such as anti-tumor drugs, peripheral vasodilators, antiviral drugs, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; in In the pigment field, 3-cyanopyridine can be used in the production of flavonoid pigments and phthalocyanine pigments; in the agricultural field, 3-cyanopyridine can be used in the production of feed additives and pesticides; in the chemical industry, 3-cyanopyridine Pyridine can be used in the organic synthesis of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide intermediates.

In addition, 3-cyanopyridine can also be used in food, feed, chemical industry, industry and other fields, and the market development space is relatively broad. With the rapid development of the downstream market, the demand for 3-cyanopyridine continues to increase, and the industry shows good development prospects. Take nicotinamide as an example. Niacinamide is an important material required in food, feed, medical and other fields. In 2022, global market demand will exceed 50,000 tons. In this context, according to the“China 3-cyanopyridine Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development from 2023 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center Prospect Research Report shows that the global 3-cyanopyridine market size will reach US$480 million in 2022, a year-on-year growth of 5.7%.

Global 3-cyanopyridine production companies mainly include international companies such as Ventrus of the United States, Jubilant Life Sciences of India, Lasons India of India, Lonza Group of Switzerland, as well as Nantong Acetic Acid Chemicals, Anhui Ruibang Biotechnology, Nanjing Guangtong Pharmaceutical Chemicals, Hebei Yanuo Biotechnology, Shandong Aowei Chemical, Shandong Hongda Group and other Chinese companies. From the perspective of the Chinese market, there are a large number of 3-cyanopyridine manufacturers in my country, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. The industry concentration is low. There is still huge room for growth for local enterprises in the future.

Industry analysts said that 3-cyanopyridine is an important chemical intermediate that can be widely used In medicine, pigment, industry, chemical industry, food, feed and other fields. In recent years, with the rapid development of the downstream market, global demand for 3-cyanopyridine has continued to increase, and the industry has good development prospects. There are currently a large number of 3-cyanopyridine manufacturers in the world, and the production capacity of high-purity and high-end 3-cyanopyridine is still concentrated in the hands of leading international companies. In the future, Chinese companies will need to continue to improve their technology and increase the research and development of high-end products to promote enterprises. Competitive strength continues to improve.
