According to statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2018, among more than 130 key basic chemical materials, 32% of China's varieties are still blank, and 52% are still dependent on imports
.
Such as high-end electronic chemicals, high-end functional materials, high-end polyolefins, etc.
, it is difficult to meet the needs of the economy and people's livelihood
.
Therefore, although the production capacity of more than 20 chemical products in China ranks first in the world and has formed a relatively complete industrial layout, the industrial structure of China's chemical industry is mainly concentrated at the low-end level, with high-end new chemical materials, high-end chemical equipment and cutting-edge technology.
Depend on foreign countries
.
The price hikes that began at the beginning of this year are not only related to the epidemic, oil bans, and safety inspections, but also to the reliance on imports of some key basic chemical materials in China.
Once prices rise or are out of stock abroad, the domestic market will face constant rises
.
Under the recent tide of chip shortages, price increases have become the only option for chip makers
.
"Can't buy" and "can't afford" have become a common dilemma faced by many downstream companies
.
The price of some German-made chips last year was 3.
5 yuan, and this year it has risen to 16.
5 yuan.
Compared with the previous chip, the price has soared to 5 times
.
Many people think that “lack of core” is far from their lives, but in fact, there are “stuck necks” in various industries
.
Especially in the domestic chemical industry, which is highly dependent on foreign raw materials, a variety of chemical products are heavily dependent on foreign imports, and various factors such as overseas epidemics and force majeure have caused a shortage of domestic chemical products
.
High-end titanium dioxide High-end titanium dioxide is currently produced mainly by the sulfuric acid process in China, and the output of chloride-processed titanium dioxide accounts for 5.
83% of the total output of titanium dioxide in the country .
In foreign countries, the sulphuric acid process has been gradually eliminated, and the chlorination process is currently the leading industry, accounting for about 60% of the output .
In terms of high-end chlorinated titanium dioxide, China is more dependent on imported products .
The global titanium dioxide companies are mainly concentrated in Tenuo (16.
82%), Chemours (14.
5%), Lomon Bailey United (11.
02%), venator [formerly Huntsman] (9.
28%), Connors (6.
38%) In the hands of the five companies, their share accounts for 58% of global production capacity .
In addition to the titanium dioxide industry, which is closely related to the coating industry, most of the domestic organic silicon products and photoresist products also rely on imports .
Silicone products Silicone products
China’s exports of organic silicon products are mainly low-end intermediate products and basic polymers, while high-end organic silicon products rely heavily on imports
.
From 2010 to 2020, the unit price of China's imports has always been higher than the unit price of exports.
In 2020, the unit price of imports is 5392 yuan/ton, and the unit price of exports is 2975 yuan/ton
.
From the perspective of the concentration of production capacity, the global silicone monomers present a pattern of monopolistic competition.
The global silicone monomers are mainly concentrated in Dow Corning, Momentive, China Bluestar, Wacker and Shin-Etsu, the five largest companies in the world.
The production capacity accounts for approximately 46% of the global total production capacity of organic silicon monomers
.
Adiponitrile technology.
Adiponitrile technology has a long production process, a complex catalyst system, and the reactants also contain highly toxic cyanide, and the technical barriers are very high .
At present, the global production capacity of adiponitrile is concentrated in the United States, France and Japan.
The only suppliers of adiponitrile are Invista, Ascend, Solvay, and Asahi Kasei with 14 production facilities.
The total global production capacity is about 2 million tons.
.
Due to the foreign monopoly and blockade of adiponitrile technology, there is currently no company in China that can produce adiponitrile on a large scale .
For a long time, China's foreign dependence on adiponitrile has been 100% .
Hexylene Diamine Hexylene Diamine Hexylene Diamine is the core raw material for PA66 synthesis, which is mainly produced by hydrogenation of adiponitrile
.
At present, the global production of hexamethylene diamine is mainly concentrated in companies such as INVISTA, BASF, Ascend, Shenma and other companies, which are in a highly monopolistic industry.
The production capacity of the first three companies accounts for 76.
9% of the total global production capacity
.
The supply of adiponitrile as a raw material for the hexamethylene diamine industry is limited, and the industry operating rate and market price are determined by the adiponitrile.
Once force majeure occurs, it will have a greater impact on the industry
.
Public data shows that new chemical materials have become the fastest growing field of China's chemical industry during the 13th Five-Year Plan.
The output of new chemical materials in China is about 22.
1 million tons, and the domestic self-sufficiency rate has increased to 65%, but the output value only accounts for the total domestic chemical output value.
5% of China’s chemical industry is far behind 10% of the world’s share.
New chemical materials are still the biggest shortcoming of China’s chemical industry
.
The structural contradiction of "low-end surplus and high-end shortage" in China's chemical industry is very prominent
.
Most products are still at the middle and low end of the industrial value chain.
The proportion of mid-to-high end products is relatively low.
The existing products have low technical content and low added value.
Compared with developed countries, the industry is still in the industrial chain.
Low-end level
.
If you always rely on imported high-end technology, the fate of "stuck neck" will be difficult to change.
If you want to change the status quo that core technology is "subject to others", you must continue to achieve source innovation, innovate technological processes, and control the lifeblood of technology and industry in your own hands.
