The m-nitrobenzoic acid industry is developing rapidly and has a wide range of applications.

Meta-nitrobenzoic acid, also known as 3-nitrobenzoic acid, has a molecular formula of C7H5NO4 and is a chemical substance. m-Nitrobenzoic acid appears as white or yellowish monoclinic flake crystals with an almond smell. It is soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and acetone, and slightly soluble in carbon disulfide, water, petroleum ether and benzene. Nitrobenzoic acid is commonly used in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, dyes and other fields.

According to the “2023-2028 China m-nitrobenzoic acid industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that benzoic acid is the main raw material of m-nitrobenzoic acid. Benzoic acid, also known as benzoic acid, benzoic acid, and benzoic acid, is the simplest aromatic acid. Benzoic acid raw materials come from a wide range of sources and can be produced by processes such as trichlorotoluene hydrolysis, benzyl halogen oxidation, toluene liquid phase air oxidation, and phthalic anhydride decarboxylation. In recent years, as the production technology has matured, my country’s benzoic acid production has continued to increase. Wuhan Organic Industry, as one of the world’s major benzoic acid manufacturers, accounts for nearly 35% of the world’s production. Driven by the advantages of raw materials, the development speed of my country’s m-nitrobenzoic acid industry has accelerated.

Meta-nitrobenzoic acid has a wide range of applications, including medicine, petrochemicals and dyes. In the pharmaceutical field, m-nitrobenzoic acid can be used to synthesize angiography drugs, new anti-epileptic drugs, etc.; in the petrochemical industry, m-nitrobenzoic acid can be used as an organic synthesis intermediate to produce m-dimethylaminobenzoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, etc. Chemical products such as benzoyl chloride and 3-nitropropiophenone; in the field of dyes, m-nitrobenzoic acid can be used to produce functional dyes.

At present, the global m-nitrobenzoic acid market is mainly concentrated in European and American countries, and my country’s high-end products are highly dependent on imports. Major global suppliers of m-nitrobenzoic acid include Merck, Amresco, ALFA, etc. There are many m-nitrobenzoic acid manufacturers in my country, the market is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and the industry concentration is low. Taizhou Hongxing Chemical Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Daewoo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Huabang Life Health Co., Ltd., Shandong Kaisheng New Materials Co., Ltd., Hubei Zhonglong Kangsheng Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., Shandong Vanadium Refined Chemical Biotechnology Co., Ltd., etc. It is a major player in my country’s m-nitrobenzoic acid market. Hongxing Chemical focuses on the R&D, production and sales of benzoic acid series products, and currently has advanced production technology for m-nitrobenzoic acid.

Industry analysts said that m-nitrobenzoic acid, as an organic synthesis intermediate, is widely used in many fields. With the development of production technology With continuous progress, its output will be further increased. my country is a major producer of benzoic acid, and its raw material advantages have laid a good foundation for the development of the m-nitrobenzoic acid industry. It is expected that companies with high-quality m-nitrobenzoic acid production capabilities will occupy a larger market space in the future.
