The thionyl chloride market is highly concentrated and Kaisheng New Materials is a leading company in the industry.

Thionyl chloride is also known as thionyl chloride, sulfur oxychloride, thionyl chloride, etc. Under normal temperature and pressure, it appears as a colorless or light yellow to red transparent liquid with a pungent odor. Thionyl chloride is soluble in some organic solvents such as benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc., and can decompose when heated to 150°C. The decomposition products are chlorine, sulfur dioxide, sulfur monoxide, etc., and easily decomposes into sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride when exposed to water.

As a chemical raw material, thionyl chloride can be used to produce fenpropathrin, deltamethrin, ciprofloxacin, ibuprofen, sucralose and other products, and is used in medicine, pesticides, fuels, food additives and other fields, among which Pesticides and medicine are the main application fields of thionyl chloride. Thionyl chloride is an organic chemical intermediate with excellent acid chlorination ability. It can be used as an organic synthetic chlorination agent for chlorine replacement of nitro compounds, alcohol chlorination, acid anhydride chlorination, organic sulfonic acid synthesis, Carboxylic acid chlorination, etc.

According to the “2022-2026 Global Thionyl Chloride Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center , globally, thionyl chloride production capacity is mainly concentrated in countries and regions such as China, India, and Europe. The above regions are also the main global consumer markets for thionyl chloride. In 2020, the global thionyl chloride market size will be close to 1.18 billion yuan.

Thionyl chloride has a wide range of applications and huge market demand. In recent years, with the development of my country’s economy, the market demand for thionyl chloride has continued to grow. After continuous development and accumulation, my country has become the world’s largest producer and consumer of sulfoxide chloride. From 2017 to 2020, the average annual compound growth rate of my country’s sulfoxide chloride market demand reached more than 8.0%. my country’s thionyl chloride market has entered a mature period, and the production technology is becoming increasingly mature. At the same time, with the deepening of the supply-side structural reform, small-scale and technologically backward production companies have gradually withdrawn from the market, and the thionyl chloride market is relatively concentrated.

The production processes of sulfoxide chloride mainly include the chlorosulfonic acid method, the phosphorus oxychloride co-production method, the sulfur dioxide gas phase synthesis method, etc. Among them, the sulfur dioxide gas phase synthesis method is the mainstream production process of sulfoxide chloride in my country. The main manufacturers of sulfoxide chloride in my country include Shandong Kaisheng New Materials, Jiangxi Shilong Industrial Co., Ltd., Jiyuan Hengtong High-tech Materials, Shandong Xinlong Technology Co., Ltd., Junan Cathay Chemical, Xintailanhe Chemical, etc. Among them, Shandong Kaisheng New Materials has the world’s largest The company’s thionyl chloride production base has an annual production capacity of 120,000 tons, making it a leading enterprise in the global thionyl chloride industry.

Industry analysts said that as a chemical raw material, sulfoxide chloride has a wide range of applications. In recent years, my country’s market demand for sulfoxide chloride has increased. The volume is constantly growing. After continuous development, my country has become the world’s largest producer and consumer of sulfoxide chloride. The development of the domestic sulfoxide chloride market has entered a mature stage. The number of enterprises in the industry is small, and most of them are large enterprises. There is room for development of new entrants. smaller.
