In-depth research on the global and Chinese polyetheramine industry in 2021

The polyetheramine industry has formed a leading enterprise, and in the context of the continuous improvement of downstream customers' requirements for polyetheramine performance, major companies continue to update their technology, and the leading technology level has become one of the main competitive advantages in the market
.
Polyetheramine (PEA), also known as polyetheramine, amino-terminated polyether, and polyether polyamine, is a polymer with a polyether as the main chain structure and an amino group at the end
.
Polyetheramine, because the main molecular chain is a soft polyether chain, and the hydrogen at the end is more active, so it can be used instead of polyether in some areas and can improve the application performance of new materials
.
Polyetheramine is mainly used in many fields such as polyurea spraying, epoxy resin curing agent, gasoline detergent, polyurethane reaction injection molding material, etc.
Affected by the development of the terminal industry, the global market demand for polyetheramine has increased year by year in recent years, especially Because the Asian region is in a stage of rapid economic development, there is a higher demand for polyetheramine
.
According to the "2021 Global and China Polyetheramine Industry Deep Research Report" issued by the New Sijie Industry Research Center, there are many synthetic processes for polyetheramine, including hydrolysis, aminophenoxy, aminolysis, and leaving groups.
Group method, high-pressure reductive amination, etc.
, and can be divided into batch method and continuous method according to the production process
.
In the world, the production process of polyetheramine is mainly in the hands of well-known chemical companies such as BASF and Huntsman.
The above companies mainly adopt continuous production processes.
The production equipment and processes are more advanced.
The catalyst efficiency is higher, so there are fewer side reactions and costs.
Lower, stable product performance, but higher equipment investment
.
Relatively speaking, the batch process has lower equipment requirements and can switch between different product types, but the production efficiency is lower, the production cost is higher, and the product quality is not as good as the continuous process
.
In terms of market competition, the global polyetheramine market is mainly concentrated in Huntsman and BASF.
The above two companies occupy half of the global market, and their production processes use continuous production
.
There are few domestic enterprises that realize the industrialization and large-scale production of polyetheramine, and most of the products produced are of single model, single production efficiency, and high cost, making it difficult to realize import substitution
.
At present, domestic companies that can produce polyetheramine on a large scale include Wuxi Akeri Chemical, Yantai Minsheng, Yangzhou Chenhua Technology, etc. .
The barriers to entry in the polyetheramine industry are relatively high, which are mainly reflected in two aspects: technical barriers and customer barriers
.
The polyetheramine industry has formed a leading enterprise, and in the context of the continuous improvement of downstream customers' requirements for polyetheramine performance, major companies continue to update their technology, and the leading technology level has become one of the main competitive advantages in the market
.
In terms of customer barriers, although the production of polyetheramine products does not have national compulsory qualification certification requirements, its application terminals have higher requirements for product safety and quality, and once the customer relationship is established, it will maintain long-term stability.
Therefore, the new Competitors are difficult to enter
.
Industry analysts from Xinsijie said that as a chemical product, polyetheramine has been used in many industries such as wind power and shale gas mining, and the market demand has grown steadily
.
In terms of production, due to the limitation of production technology and production equipment, the quality of polyetheramine products in China is relatively poor.
The domestic high-end market demand still relies on imports, and the future domestic substitution has a large space
.
