Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) companies have low operating rates and fierce market competition

Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), also known as sodium polyphosphate, is a water-soluble polyphosphate glass composed of polyphosphate chain length distribution. Sodium hexametaphosphate appears as white powder crystals or colorless transparent glassy solid. It is easily soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents, and easily deliquesces in the air. As one of the functional phosphates, sodium hexametaphosphate has a wide range of applications. It can be used as an improver, pH regulator, swelling agent, water treatment agent, preservative, etc. in food, papermaking, water treatment, metallurgy, fiber and other fields.

According to the “2023-2028 China Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》shows that in recent years, due to factors such as environmental protection policies and reduced demand, the operating rate of my country’s sodium hexametaphosphate enterprises has been low, and the industry’s output has shown a downward trend. In 2021, the output of my country’s sodium hexametaphosphate industry will be less than 155,000 tons. The apparent consumption is about 88,000 tons, and the operating rate of enterprises is less than 50%.

Sodium hexametaphosphate can be divided into food grade and industrial grade. Due to the imperfect standards of early food grade sodium hexametaphosphate, industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate is the mainstream product in the market. In 2020, relevant departments successively issued GB 1886.4-2020 “National Food Safety Standard Food Additive Sodium Hexametaphosphate” and “Announcement on 6 “Three New Foods” including Monascus Red”, which clarified that sodium hexametaphosphate can be used for Multiple food categories. Driven by policies, the food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate market will usher in good development opportunities.

The production process of sodium hexametaphosphate is divided into one-step method and two-step method. The one-step method uses liquid yellow phosphorus as raw material. It has the advantages of short process and continuous production, but it is difficult to control and the product quality cannot be guaranteed; the two-step method is easy to control. , large production capacity and low labor intensity. From the perspective of production capacity distribution, my country’s sodium hexametaphosphate industrial chain layout is relatively complete, and production capacity is mainly distributed in locations rich in phosphate rock resources, including Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei and other regions, of which Sichuan’s production capacity accounts for more than 30%.

my country’s sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers include Hubei Xingfa Chemical, Sichuan Venus, Chongqing Chuandong Chemical, Changzhou Lishi Yuanyang, Jiangyin Chengxing Industrial, etc. Market competition is intensifying. As one of the world’s largest producers of sodium hexametaphosphate, China’s production capacity not only meets domestic market demand, but also exports to overseas markets. Specifically, in 2021, my country’s export volume of sodium hexametaphosphate will be approximately 46,000 tons.

Industry analysts said that sodium hexametaphosphate is a functional phosphate, and my country is a major producer of sodium hexametaphosphate. Production capacity is mainly distributed in areas with rich phosphate rock resources. Sodium hexametaphosphate is mainly used in the industrial field. The market competition for industrial-grade sodium hexametaphosphate is fierce. However, as the standards for food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate are improved, food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate is expected to become a key direction for the differentiated layout of major enterprises. In the future The development prospects are good.
