my country’s demand for potassium fluoride continues to rise, and the market’s dependence on imports increases

Potassium fluoride is an inorganic fluoride with the molecular formula KF. It is in the form of white monoclinic crystal or crystalline powder. It is toxic, easily deliquescent, and hygroscopic. It is soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. Potassium fluoride is widely used in agriculture, construction, chemical industry, medicine, automobile manufacturing, electronic appliances, aerospace, national defense and military industries, etc. It is often used in the production of pesticides, fluorinating agents, pesticide intermediates, and welding fluxes. , glass etching fluid, wood preservatives, organic fluorinated raw materials, pharmaceutical industry raw materials and other products.

According to the “China Potassium Fluoride Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that potassium fluoride is an important chemical product, and the Asia-Pacific region, North America and Europe are its main consumer markets. Among them, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for about 41.6% of the global potassium fluoride market share and is the largest consumer market for potassium fluoride; North America accounts for about 20.4%, ranking second; Europe accounts for about 26.2%, ranking third.

In recent years, my country’s potassium fluoride industry has developed well. On the one hand, with the continuous advancement of my country’s scientific research and technological level and the deepening of new industrialization construction, the application scope of potassium fluoride has gradually expanded. The rapid development of emerging application fields of potassium fluoride such as laser manufacturing and semiconductor manufacturing has driven the rapid increase in demand for potassium fluoride. On the other hand, the market price of potassium fluoride is relatively low, which can effectively reduce the production costs of enterprises, and the market demand will further increase.

On the other hand, potassium fluoride has been widely used in my country’s pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. With the announcement of policies such as the “14th Five-Year Plan for National Health Plan”, the “14th Five-Year Plan for Pharmaceutical Industry Development”, and the “Center for Drug Evaluation to Accelerate the Review Procedures for Innovative Drug Marketing Applications (Trial)”, my country’s drug manufacturing The industry is developing rapidly, and the consumption of potassium fluoride is gradually increasing, which promotes the rapid development of the potassium fluoride industry.

The regional concentration of potassium fluoride production enterprises in my country is relatively high, mainly distributed in eastern coastal areas such as Zhejiang and Jiangsu and central areas such as Henan. Under the background of “carbon neutrality” and “carbon peak”, my country’s environmental protection supervision continues to strengthen. Some potassium fluoride companies have been affected to a certain extent and their output has declined. There is a certain gap in the supply of my country’s potassium fluoride market, and import dependence has increased. Judging from the import situation of potassium fluoride, Japan, the United States, South Korea, Germany, and Russia are the main importing countries of potassium fluoride in my country. Among them, South Korea is the largest importer of potassium fluoride in my country; followed by the United States.

Industrial analysts said that globally, potassium fluoride production is mainly concentrated in China, France, and Russia , the United States and other places, China Salt Industry Group, Solvay of the United States, Alkma of France and other companies occupy most of the market share of potassium fluoride. Within China, Salt Industry Group, Duofuo, Juhua Co., Ltd., Runfeng Petrochemical, Huanghe New Materials, and Jiyesheng Chemical are the main manufacturers of potassium fluoride.
