my country’s potassium permanganate production scale is large and market concentration is increasing

Potassium permanganate, commonly known as gray manganese oxygen, has a chemical formula of KMnO4 and is a strong oxidizing agent. Potassium permanganate appears as black-purple prismatic crystals or particles with a blue metallic luster. It is soluble in water and is reduced when exposed to ethanol. As a chemical raw material, potassium permanganate is widely used in chemical industry, medicine, scientific research, metallurgy, food, environmental protection and other fields.

In the field of chemical industry, potassium permanganate can be used to manufacture saccharin, vitamin C, isoniazid, benzoic acid and other products; in the field of environmental protection, potassium permanganate can be used as a water treatment agent to improve domestic water purification and wastewater treatment problems; in medicine As a strong oxidant, high oxidants have bactericidal effects and are suitable for the treatment of acute dermatitis and acute eczema.

According to the “2022-2026 potassium permanganate industry market supply and demand status and industry operating indicators in-depth investigation and analysis report released by the Industrial Research Center ” shows that since 2013, my country’s potassium permanganate production capacity has been in a steady growth trend. At this stage, my country has become the world’s largest producer and exporter of potassium permanganate. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, my country’s potassium permanganate industry output still achieved positive growth. In 2020, the industry output was 78,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.4%.

my country’s potassium permanganate market is well supplied. While its production capacity meets domestic market demand, it is also exported to overseas markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, Iran and Bangladesh, with Vietnam being the main export region. From the perspective of import and export, my country’s potassium permanganate import and export market has always been in a state of trade surplus. In 2020, my country’s potassium permanganate export volume exceeded 16,000 tons, the export value reached 34.82 million US dollars, and the import volume was approximately 0.1 tons.

Potassium permanganate production processes include the open-hearth method, the classic liquid phase method, the three-phase pressurized liquid phase method, the horizontal kettle pressurized oxidation method, etc. In the early days, the production of potassium permanganate in my country was dominated by the open-hearth method. In recent years, with the With the advancement of high-tech and the increasingly strict environmental protection policies, the production capacity of the open-hearth method has been gradually eliminated, the production capacity of the liquid phase method has been increased, and the development of the potassium permanganate industry has shifted towards environmental protection and high-end development.

Globally, the potassium permanganate market is mainly concentrated in China, North America, Japan and other regions, with the combined market share of the three major regions reaching 97.8%. The market competition for potassium permanganate in my country is fierce. At present, the main potassium permanganate manufacturers in my country include Chongqing Changyuan, Guangdong Hangxin Technology and Yunnan Qunxing Chemical Industry. Among them, Chongqing Changyuan is the leading enterprise in the global potassium permanganate market.

Industry analysts said that potassium permanganate is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields. large application requirements. In recent years, thanks to the continuous release of market demand, my country’s potassium permanganate production capacity has gradually increased. At this stage, my country has become a major producer and exporter of potassium permanganate in the world. The market competition for potassium permanganate in my country is relatively fierce. Under the fierce market competition and strict environmental protection policies, the potassium permanganate market will continue to attract leading companies.
