The market concentration of biphenyl-diphenyl ether is high, and the market share of domestic products is gradually increasing.

Diphenyl and diphenylether (Diphenyl and diphenylether), also called diphenyl ether-biphenyl and diphenyl ether, is a mixture of 26.5% diphenyl and 73.5% diphenyl ether. Biphenyl-diphenyl ether is a colorless to straw yellow liquid. The product is insoluble in water, easily soluble in ether, ethanol, etc., and is non-corrosive. It is a high-quality gas/liquid two-phase heat transfer oil. It can be used in both liquid phase and steam. Phase use. The maximum operating temperature of biphenyl-diphenyl ether can reach 400°C. It is the product with the highest operating temperature range and the best thermal stability among thermal oil products. It is widely used in modern chemical fiber and polyester, oil and natural gas, coal coke chemical, and chemical industries. It is widely used in the industrial sector.

Biphenyl-diphenyl ether is currently the most commonly used heat transfer fluid in photothermal power generation systems. With the increasing scarcity of traditional fossil energy resources and the increasingly obvious phenomenon of global climate warming, renewable energy power generation has become an important part of the power industry in recent years. Components. After wind power and photovoltaic power became grid-parity, the Chinese government began to target solar thermal power generation. Project approvals were gradually accelerated, and the scale of application continued to grow, boosting the market demand for biphenyl-diphenyl ether. According to the “China Biphenyl-Diphenyl Ether Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center , China’s demand for biphenyl-diphenyl ether products in 2022 will be 15,400 tons, with a growth rate of 18.5%.

From the perspective of enterprises, there are currently not many enterprises in the biphenyl-diphenyl ether industry in my country. Leading enterprises represented by Jiangsu Zhongneng Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. and Shexian Jindong Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. occupy a larger market share. , the industry market concentration is relatively high.

From the perspective of market competition between imported products and domestic products, in recent years, with the continued development of the biphenyl and its derivatives industry, domestic biphenyl-diphenyl ether production enterprises have gradually grown and expanded, and their market share has steadily increased. Compared with foreign companies in the same industry, domestic companies are closer to customers. Their technical teams can quickly respond to customer needs and provide biphenyl-diphenyl ether thermal oil system solutions, as well as a series of services such as oil replacement, and are better able to win Customer favor. At the same time, the technical level of domestic biphenyl-diphenyl ether manufacturers is also gradually improving, and some products have basically reached the quality requirements to replace similar foreign products, and the prices are lower than foreign products. Therefore, the market share of domestically produced biphenyl-diphenyl ether has gradually increased, while the market share of imported products has declined.

Industry analysts said that in the future, with the gradual increase in the number of participants in my country’s biphenyl-diphenyl ether industry, my country’s biphenyl-diphenyl ether industry will Competition in the phenylene ether market will become more intense, and competition among companies in the industry will gradually shift to the mid-to-high-end market. In the high-end market, domestic leading companies will be able to gain a larger market share by virtue of their advantages in production and processing, process control, sales network construction, after-sales service, brand awareness, etc., which will promote market concentration in the biphenyl-diphenyl ether industry. The increase has accelerated the process of domestic substitution and squeezed the market space of imported products.
