It is used in organic synthesis and dye intermediate; It is an important
intermediate for the manufacture of azo dyes and sulfur dyes, the drug
phenacetin, paracetamol, pesticide herbicide, etc., and is also the raw material
of rubber antioxidant 4010; It is an important intermediate for preparing dyes
(azo dyes, sulfur dyes), medicines (phenacetin, paracetamol), and pesticides
(herbicides). It can also be used as raw material of rubber antioxidant 4010,
etc. Sodium p-nitrophenol, a derivative of p-nitrochlorobenzene, is mainly used
as an intermediate of 1605; Herbicide paraquat produced with
p-nitrochlorobenzene; This product is an important organic synthesis
intermediate, widely used in dye, pesticide, medicine and rubber industry.
#Nitric acid #4-Chloronitrobenzene, or 4-nitrochlorobenzene, is a light
yellow monoclinic prismatic crystal, mainly produced by nitric acid, sulfuric
acid formulated into a mixed acid and then nitration reaction with
chlorobenzene, which can be used in the production of dyes, pesticides, rubber
chemicals, etc.
In the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, the global
4-Chloronitrobenzene development is relatively rapid, but with the
intensification of market competition, as well as environmental policy pressure
increases, many companies in the industry gradually withdraw from the market.
According to the "Global and China 4-Chloronitrobenzene Industry 2020 Deep
Research Report" published by Synopsys, the global supply of
4-Chloronitrobenzene has shown a decrease since 2016, and in 2019, the global
4-Chloronitrobenzene market size was USD 304 million.
In terms of downstream applications, the dyestuff market is the largest
application area for 4-Chloronitrobenzene, which accounts for nearly 30% of the
total industry demand size. In the rubber segment, with the continuous
development of the global automotive industry, the production of rubber products
such as automotive tires is growing, driving the increase in the demand for
4-Chloronitrobenzene. In the pesticide sector, with the global pesticide market
boom decreasing, the global pesticide market size is shrinking and the
application of 4-Chloronitrobenzene in the pesticide sector is decreasing. The
improvement of citizens' health awareness has driven the development of the
pharmaceutical intermediates market, and the application of 4-Chloronitrobenzene
in the pharmaceutical field is relatively good.
In terms of regional scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest global market
for consumption of 4-Chloronitrobenzene in 2019, accounting for 58.6% of the
total. With the continued development of industries such as pharmaceuticals and
rubber in China and India, as well as emerging economies such as Southeast Asia
taking up the shift in global manufacturing, the demand for 4-Chloronitrobenzene
in these regions is relatively strong. North America is the second largest
consumer market for 4-Chloronitrobenzene, with the North American
4-Chloronitrobenzene market dominated by the U.S., followed by Mexico and
Canada. The presence of a large number of downstream chemical manufacturers and
the establishment of specialty chemical manufacturing facilities have boosted
the consumption of 4-Chloronitrobenzene in the region.
In terms of market competition, the global production of
4-Chloronitrobenzene is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and
some market players not only produce 4-Chloronitrobenzene, but also its upstream
raw materials and downstream derivatives to extend the enterprise value chain
and enhance their competitiveness. At present, the global manufacturers of
4-Chloronitrobenzene mainly include Aarti Industries Limited, Hefei Tianjian
Chemical Industry Company Limited, Setagaya Industries Limited, Panoli
Intermediates India Private Limited, Chemdyes Corporation, Sarna Chemicals,
Hangzhou Ltd., Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical Group Co.
According to the investment analysts at Synopsys, although
4-Chloronitrobenzene has a wide range of applications, the current competition
in the industry is relatively fierce due to the strong supply capacity of
4-Chloronitrobenzene globally. At the same time, 4-Chloronitrobenzene is prone
to environmental problems in the production process, and as countries have
strengthened their focus on environmental protection, the environmental costs of
enterprises have risen. In addition, the slowdown of 4-Chloronitrobenzene
downstream industries such as pesticides, rubber auxiliaries and dyestuffs makes
the consumption market of 4-Chloronitrobenzene sluggish, all of which bring
greater challenges to the production enterprises.
