The demand for N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is small and the downstream application fields need to be expanded.

N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C13H22N2. It is insoluble in water and easily soluble in dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide and other organic compounds. Solvent. N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is a bifunctional cross-linking agent. It is a dehydrating agent commonly used in esterification, amidation and other reactions. It can also be used in the synthesis of acid anhydrides, aldehydes, and ketones; It can also be used for the synthesis of peptides and nucleic acids. Using N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), peptides can be easily synthesized from compounds with free carboxyl groups and free amino groups at room temperature. N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is widely used in medicine, pesticides, health products, biology and other fields.

N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is a niche chemical raw material. Its market size is small, and the number of industry companies it carries and its production capacity and output are relatively limited, resulting in fewer companies in the industry and market concentration. higher. The main domestic manufacturers of N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) include Shandong Jincheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Zibo Tiantangshan Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhanhua Jiashi Chemical Co., Ltd. Fuyuan Branch, and Shanghai Covalent Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou Haofan Biological Co., Ltd., among which Shandong Jincheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has a larger production scale and has a larger presence in the global N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) market including China. influence and strong market competitiveness. The production scale of Zibo Tiantangshan Chemical Co., Ltd. and Fuyuan Branch of Zhanhua Jiashi Chemical Co., Ltd. is below 1,000 tons. Shanghai Covalent Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. and Suzhou Haofan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. have small production scales, high production costs and product prices, and lack of competitiveness.

Although the application fields of N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) involve many fields such as medicine, pesticides, dyes, new materials, etc., the application amount in each field is small, even in the main application field-domestic medicine The market demand of the industry is only about 1,000 tons/year. According to the released “2023-2028 China Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report” shows that China’s N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) market size in 2022 will only be 118 million yuan. The smaller market size has lowered the development ceiling of the industry, which is not conducive to the expansion of the market and sales scale of the N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) industry.

Nearly two-thirds of the N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) produced in China is exported. In addition to being exported to the European and American markets, it is also exported to developing countries such as India. In recent years, the international trade environment has been volatile, exchange rate fluctuations have expanded, and especially trade protection has increased, which has increased the export risks of the N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) industry, such as India’s N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) industry. -Addition of anti-dumping duties on the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) industry has increased the export costs of related Chinese companies.

Analysts believe that in the future, with the development of China’s pharmaceutical industry, N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbon dioxide in the pharmaceutical field will The market demand for imines (DCC) may maintain a steady growth trend. The expansion of the application fields of N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), especially if researchers successfully use it as a lithium battery electrolyte additive and achieve industrial application, will greatly expand N,N’ -The market space of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) has injected new impetus into the development of N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) industry.
