The anhydrous aluminum trichloride market is highly competitive and has many applications in the pharmaceutical field.
Anhydrous aluminum trichloride is also called aluminum trichloride, aluminum chloride, and anhydrous aluminum chloride. Its molecular formula is AlCl3 and its relative molecular mass is 133.34. It is a compound of chlorine and aluminum. Anhydrous aluminum trichloride appears as white particles or powder with a strong smell of hydrochloric acid. The industrial product is light yellow in color. It is easily soluble in water, alcohol, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and slightly soluble in benzene. Molten anhydrous aluminum chloride does not conduct electricity easily, unlike most salts containing halogen ions (such as sodium chloride).
In recent years, with the continuous advancement of production technology, the global production capacity and output of aluminum trichloride products have continued to increase, and countries such as China and the United States have become the world’s major aluminum trichloride producers. At the same time, the downstream application fields of aluminum trichloride are gradually expanding, and the industry market size has further grown. As countries attach more importance to environmental protection, the anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry has begun to develop simple, economical and reasonable processes and supporting industrial production equipment as its main trend, and is developing in the direction of green, clean, efficient and safe.
According to the “China Anhydrous Aluminum Trichloride Product Market Analysis Feasibility Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , Anhydrous aluminum trichloride is an important inorganic chloride. The downstream of the industrial chain involves many fields such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, rubber, spices, etc. Especially in the fields of pharmaceuticals and dyes, the application scale of anhydrous aluminum trichloride is relatively large, and the market The proportion is relatively high. In 2022, among the downstream target application areas of the anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry, the demand for anhydrous aluminum trichloride in the pharmaceutical field will account for about 37%.
At present, there are a large number of manufacturing enterprises in the anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry in my country, and most of them are small in scale, have weak independent innovation capabilities, serious product homogeneity problems, and fierce market competition. Representative domestic companies include Shanghai Shenglong Chemical Co., Ltd., Shandong Yubin New Materials Co., Ltd., Hunan Hengguang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhanhua Licheng Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., Wenshang County Yizhongxin Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., etc. In addition to these key enterprises, there are also many small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in China, and the production capacity of a single enterprise is not large. Overall, China’s anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry has a large number of enterprises, but the number of large-scale enterprises is small, and the industry market concentration is low.
Industrial researchers believe that in some high-end anhydrous aluminum trichloride fields, some products still need to be imported, so in the future, as our country With the transformation and upgrading of the anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry, high-end fields represented by electronic grade anhydrous aluminum trichloride will usher in good development space. In addition, with the continuous development of the downstream application fields of anhydrous aluminum trichloride, the demand for anhydrous aluminum trichloride in foreign markets has increased significantly. In the future, with the encouragement and support of policies such as the “Belt and Road Initiative”, my country’s anhydrous aluminum trichloride industry export market will be further developed, and relevant companies can actively expand overseas markets to increase their sales performance.
