Industry production capacity continues to increase, and domestically produced nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) will gradually enter the international market

Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is an inorganic fluoride that appears as a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. It is insoluble in water and alkali. It will decompose under high temperature conditions to produce fluorine. Nitrogen trifluoride is one of the common fluorine-containing electronic special gases. Compared with other fluorine-containing electronic special gas products, nitrogen trifluoride has the characteristics of fast response, high efficiency, and easy handling. It is currently the electronic special gas with the largest market capacity. product.

Nitrogen trifluoride is one of the key materials for the production of liquid crystal panels, solar cells, integrated circuits, etc. In recent years, with the support of policies, my country’s LCD panel, solar cell and other industries have developed rapidly, which has led to an increase in the market demand for nitrogen trifluoride. According to the “2022-2027 Global Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report》shows that in order to meet the growing market demand, the scale of my country’s nitrogen trifluoride industry continues to expand. From 2015 to 2021, the output of the nitrogen trifluoride industry increased from 28,000 tons to more than 156,000 tons.

my country’s nitrogen trifluoride industry started late, but the industry has developed rapidly. Driven by policy support, technological empowerment and other factors, the localization rate of nitrogen trifluoride has steadily increased. my country is a major producer of nitrogen trifluoride, with production capacity accounting for approximately 33.4% of the global production capacity. The supply and demand in the domestic market tend to be balanced. In order to expand the market, domestically produced nitrogen trifluoride is gradually entering the international market. In 2019, my country’s nitrogen trifluoride import and export market achieved a trade surplus. In 2021, my country’s nitrogen trifluoride export volume will be close to 2.0 thousand tons, and the import volume will be approximately 1.0 thousand tons.

As one of the fluorine-containing inorganic substances, nitrogen trifluoride has a wide range of applications. In recent years, with the upgrading of downstream industries, the market has higher requirements for the purity and performance of nitrogen trifluoride. The proportion of high-purity nitrogen trifluoride continues to increase. promote. In the international market, nitrogen trifluoride suppliers mainly include South Korea’s SKM, Japan’s Kanto Denka, Mitsui Chemicals, and American Gas Chemicals. Their production materials are mainly imported from China, so they do not have cost and raw material advantages.

In the domestic market, the main suppliers of nitrogen trifluoride include China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation 718, Haohua Technology Subsidiary, Nanda Optoelectronics, etc. Among them, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation 718 is the largest nitrogen trifluoride enterprise in China. Attracted by the broad market prospects, domestic nitrogen trifluoride companies are expanding their production capacity. As relevant production capacity is put into operation, my country’s nitrogen trifluoride production capacity will be further improved. By then, the proportion of domestic companies in the international market is also expected to increase.

Industry analysts said that thanks to the eastward shift of the global LCD panel and semiconductor industries, my country’s market demand for nitrogen trifluoride continues Release, in order to meet market demand, domestic companies continue to expand the production scale of nitrogen trifluoride. As each company gradually puts into production, my country’s nitrogen trifluoride market will gradually enter a production capacity release period. my country is a major producer of nitrogen trifluoride. While the localization rate of nitrogen trifluoride continues to increase, it also continues to enter the international market.
