The number of companies in the sodium percarbonate market has increased, and competition in the industry has increased.
Sodium percarbonate is a chemical substance formed by the compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It appears as white crystals or crystalline powder. It has the dual properties of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Its theoretical content of active oxygen is 15.28%. It is easy to use. It is soluble in water and is a strong oxidant. Therefore, sodium percarbonate is mainly used as a bleach, oxidant, detergent, cleaning agent, bactericide, etc. It can also be widely used in chemical industry, papermaking, textile, medical and health and other fields.
The production process of sodium percarbonate is divided into two types: dry method and wet method. The wet production process is long and the investment is large, but the production process is easy to operate, the product is stable, and quality control is relatively easy. At present, most sodium percarbonate production enterprises at home and abroad adopt wet process production. However, due to the poor stability of sodium percarbonate itself, the stability of sodium percarbonate products is improved by adding stabilizers, improving the production process, and using coating and other technologies during the production process. The stability of sodium percarbonate products is a technical issue for enterprises in this industry. key issues in innovation. At present, my country’s sodium percarbonate production enterprises have established a relatively complete industrial system through the introduction of foreign technology and independent research and development. In recent years, they have made great progress in process technology, and many enterprises have automated production lines.
According to the “Sodium Percarbonate Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, with With the continuous development of the domestic downstream industry, the market demand for sodium percarbonate continues to increase. Manufacturers in the industry continue to expand their production scale. In addition, more and more companies enter the industry. Wrapped and non-wrapped sodium percarbonate products are on the Chinese market. The production of sodium percarbonate is increasing. In 2022, China’s sodium percarbonate production has reached 400,000 tons, ranking among the top in the world.
From the perspective of competition in the global market, as technology continues to mature and is attracted by good market prospects, the number of manufacturing companies in the global sodium percarbonate industry continues to increase, and market competition becomes more intense. At present, Solvay is the world’s largest manufacturer of sodium percarbonate, and Germany’s Evonik is the world’s second largest manufacturer in the sodium percarbonate business after Solvay. These leading companies occupy the high-end market for sodium percarbonate in the world.
Industry analysts believe that large domestic and foreign companies such as Solvay, Evonik, OCI, Kemira, etc., rely on their capital, technology, and talents With advantages in other aspects, it still dominates the sodium percarbonate market at home and abroad. In recent years, companies such as Zhejiang Jinke, Jiangxi Bohaoyuan Chemical, and Hongye Biotech that have emerged in China have gradually formed strong international competitive advantages and have seized a certain amount of international market share. However, under the background of Sino-US trade friction, Russia-Ukraine conflict, energy crisis, inflationary pressure, external uncertainty and other factors, the global sodium percarbonate market is constantly consolidating, which will have an adverse impact on Chinese sodium percarbonate companies and related investments. Readers need to be vigilant at all times.
