my country's methylene chloride market supply will tighten in 2021 and the market price is expected to continue to rise

From the perspective of production process, methylene chloride production processes include natural gas chlorination, methyl chloride chlorination, etc. Among them, methyl chloride chlorination is divided into photochlorination and thermal chlorination. In the industrial field, methylene chloride Usually synthesized by chlorination of methyl chloride. With the continuous optimization of relevant processes and the increase in market demand, my country’s methylene chloride production capacity has steadily increased. At this stage, my country has become a major producer and consumer of methylene chloride in the world.

Dichloromethane appears as a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor similar to ether. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in ethanol and ether. Dichloromethane is an industrial raw material with a wide range of applications. It can be used as a foaming agent, adhesive, diluent and refrigerant in pharmaceuticals, film production, coatings, plastic processing, polycarbonate, household appliances and other fields. Among them, film is the main application scenario of methylene chloride in my country, accounting for nearly 50% of consumption.

According to the “2021-2026 China Dichloromethane Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, At present, my country’s methylene chloride industry is in a stage of rapid development. In terms of production, my country’s methylene chloride production companies are mostly concentrated in Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other regions. Related production companies include Luxi Chemical, Qingdao Xinrui Chemical, Juhua Co., Ltd., Quzhou Rongqiang Chemical, Zhejiang Huishi Pharmaceutical, Shandong Haihua Co., Ltd., New Dongyue Group, etc.

my country is a major producer of methylene chloride. While its production capacity meets domestic market demand, it is also exported to overseas markets. Therefore, in recent years, my country’s methylene chloride import and export market has been in a state of trade surplus. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, in January 2021 -In October, my country’s import volume of methylene chloride was 78 tons, and its export volume reached 140,000 tons. From the perspective of export regions, my country’s methylene chloride is mainly exported to India, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and other regions.

In 2021, affected by the dual energy consumption control policy, my country’s methylene chloride market supply will tighten. In the short term, with the implementation of the dual energy consumption control policy, the tight supply of methylene chloride will continue. In December 2021, the epidemic was severe in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Affected by this, some manufacturers’ methylene chloride shipments were blocked. However, companies in Guangxi and Jiangxi have short-term maintenance plans, and the supply of methylene chloride may also be reduced. Overall, methylene chloride stocks of most companies are at low levels. With good supply, methylene chloride prices are expected to continue to rise.

Industry analysts said that as a chemical raw material, methylene chloride has a wide range of applications. In recent years, with the increase in market demand, The scale of methylene chloride production in my country continues to expand. At present, my country’s methylene chloride industry is in a stage of rapid development. However, due to factors such as the dual energy consumption control policy, the COVID-19 epidemic, and equipment maintenance, the supply of methylene chloride in my country is tightening. Therefore, in the short term, methylene chloride prices are expected to continue rise.
