Glutaraldehyde (GA) is mainly used in the field of sterilization and disinfection. Local companies lack high-end competitive advantages.

Glutaraldehyde (GA), also known as 1,5-glutaraldehyde, has a chemical formula of C5H8O2 and is an organic compound. Glutaraldehyde is a saturated linear aliphatic dialdehyde. It appears as a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in water, ether, ethanol and other organic solvents. Glutaraldehyde has the characteristics of good chemical stability, low toxicity, and little influence from organic matter. It is widely used in food processing, wood processing, sterilization and other fields.

The main preparation methods of glutaraldehyde include the cyclopentene oxidation method, the pyran method, the pentanediol oxidation method, and the glutaric acid reduction method. The pentene oxidation method uses hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, easy availability of raw materials, and convenient operation. It is widely used in industrial production processes; the pyran method uses ethyl vinyl ether and acrolein as the main raw materials. The two are reacted under high pressure conditions and then hydrolyzed to obtain the finished product. This method has the disadvantages of high production cost and long preparation cycle.

Glutaraldehyde is widely used in food processing, wood processing, sterilization and other fields, among which the sterilization and sterilization field is the largest demand end. In June 2022, the National Health Commission issued the “Monkeypox Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines (2022 Edition)”. The document clearly mentioned that the monkeypox virus is sensitive to disinfectants such as glutaraldehyde and sodium hypochlorite. According to the “2023-2028 China Glutaraldehyde (GA) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center ” shows that in recent years, my country’s glutaraldehyde market has continued to expand, reaching 1.26 billion yuan in 2022. As the national health concept continues to deepen, my country’s glutaraldehyde market space will be further expanded.

The global glutaraldehyde market is mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. Representative companies include 3M Company of the United States, Nippon Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Belimed of Switzerland, Nordion of the United States, and Thermo Fisher Scientific of the United States. Thermo Fisher Scientific, BASF AG of Germany, etc. BASF is a leading global chemical company and occupies a dominant position in my country’s glutaraldehyde market.

There are many glutaraldehyde production companies in my country, but only a few companies have large-scale production capabilities. Wuhan Dike Chemical Co., Ltd., Henan Jingzhong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Ningxia Jinghong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. are major players in my country’s glutaraldehyde market. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s glutaraldehyde industry started late and is highly dependent on imports of high-end products. This is the main challenge facing the development of the industry.

Industry analysts said that glutaraldehyde, as a dialdehyde, has broad application prospects in the field of sterilization and sterilization, along with downstream As demand grows further, the development speed of its industry will accelerate. At present, due to factors such as high technical barriers and high production costs, Chinese companies focus on the production of mid- to low-end glutaraldehyde, while high-end products rely on imports. In the future, as the technical level of local enterprises improves, the market share of high-end glutaraldehyde in my country will further increase.
