Sodium methoxide has wide downstream applications and good industry development prospects.

Sodium methoxide is the most basic sodium alkoxide, which is divided into two types: liquid sodium methoxide and solid sodium methoxide. Sodium methoxide is widely used. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is mainly used as an intermediate raw material for the preparation of sulfadiazine, sulfonamide synergist, vitamin A1 and other drugs; in the chemical industry, sodium methoxide can be used as a condensing agent and strong alkaline catalyst to produce biodiesel, Ethyl acetate, methyl formate, ethyl malonate, etc.; in the field of dyes, sodium methoxide can be used to produce products such as Hansa yellow, tartrazine, methyl violet, and toluidine.

At this stage, the number of sodium methoxide production enterprises in China is increasing, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the number of large enterprises is relatively small. From the perspective of competitive strength, large enterprises have more mature technology and better product quality; at the same time, enterprises have strong financial strength, higher market and brand building levels, and strong comprehensive competitive strength. At present, a competitive landscape has been formed in China dominated by leading enterprises such as Anhui Jinbang Pharmaceutical Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Pioneer Technology Co., Ltd., Henan Shenghongfeng Chemical Co., Ltd., Ningbo Zhetie Jiangning Chemical Co., Ltd., and Weifang Binhai Petrochemical Co., Ltd.

According to the “2023-2028 China Sodium Methoxide Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, China It is a major producer of sodium methoxide. Domestic sodium methoxide products can not only meet domestic market demand, but also export products to foreign markets with their cost-effective advantages. In 2022, China’s sodium methoxide production will be 634,000 tons, exports will be 21,500 tons, and imports will be negligible. In recent years, with the development of China’s chemical industry, some domestic companies have successively constructed sodium methoxide units, and some companies have already built production units. However, due to the high transportation cost of sodium methoxide, companies generally purchase it nearby; in addition, some companies mainly use it internally, so market competition is relatively relaxed.

In terms of production technology, the domestic production methods of sodium methoxide mainly include the alkali method and the metal sodium method. The metal sodium method has a simple process, high product purity, and low equipment investment, but the production process is extremely unsafe and metal sodium is expensive; The alkaline process raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, and the operation safety is good, but the product often contains sodium hydroxide impurities. Therefore, if investors in the sodium methoxide industry want to obtain more stable and reliable products, they can choose metal sodium production; if they want to improve economic benefits, they can focus on improving the alkali production process.

Industry Analysts People said that since 2019, in recent years, the country has introduced a number of policies to promote the chemical industry and biodiesel industry. development of. The sustained development of the above-mentioned industries has laid a very good market foundation for domestic sodium methoxide. On the whole, based on good market expectations, domestic chemical companies are actively building, rebuilding and expanding sodium methoxide projects, and the industry has good development prospects.
