The application scenarios of lufenuron continue to expand, and the future market development potential is huge

Lufenuron is a highly efficient, broad-spectrum, low-toxic insecticide that inhibits insect molting. It appears as white crystals. Lufenuron is a benzoyl urea insecticide that has stomach poisoning and contact effects. Its insecticidal mechanism is to inhibit the formation of larval chitin synthase, interfere with the deposition of chitin on the epidermis, and prevent insects from normal molting and metamorphosis. , ultimately leading to death.

Lufenuron was first launched in France by Syngenta for the prevention and treatment of fleas on cats, dogs and other animals. Later, with the development of the market, the application of lufenuron gradually expanded from the field of animal health to the fields of agriculture and public health. In the agricultural field, lufenuron can be used for pest control in crops such as citrus, soybeans, cotton, corn, vegetables, and fruit trees. Thanks to its high insecticidal efficiency and broad spectrum and expanded application fields, the market demand for lufenuron continues to increase, and sales continue to grow.

Lufenuron synthesis intermediates include 2,5-dichlorophenol, oxalyl chloride, 2,6-difluorobenzamide, etc. Due to insufficient domestic production capacity of 2,5-dichlorophenol, market demand relies on imports. Affected by the epidemic, the supply of imported 2,5-dichlorophenol was unstable in early 2020, resulting in high prices in my country’s lufenuron market.

At present, lufenuron has been registered and marketed in many countries and regions around the world. In overseas markets, Japan and Brazil are the main markets for lufenuron. There are many lufenuron registration certificate numbers in my country. According to data from the China Pesticide Information Network, as of October 20, 2022, there are 162 lufenuron registration certificate numbers. The preparation forms include suspension concentrate, emulsifiable concentrate, water-dispersible granules, Microemulsions, water emulsions, mainly suspension agents.

According to the “2022-2027 China Lufenuron Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, There are many lufenuron registered companies in my country, but there are fewer companies with actual production capacity, mainly including Shandong Luba, Jiangsu Zhongqi, Anhui New North Carolina, Henan Jinpeng, Dezhou Luba Jing, Jiangsu Jiannong, Jilin Tonghua and other companies. In order to expand the market and reduce competitive pressure, domestic companies have begun to pay attention to the export business of lufenuron. For example, Jiangsu Subin Biotech’s Amethyst + Lufenuron water-dispersible granules are exported to Cambodia.

Lufenuron compound formulations include chlorfefenuron + lufenuron, emamectin + lufenuron, Avitamin + lufenuron, lufenuron + fenflufen, pyrofendifen + lufenuron, etc. Lufenuron compound not only has a significant synergistic effect, but also delays pest resistance, which is conducive to promoting the development of the lufenuron market.

Industry analysts said that lufenuron has a broad insecticidal spectrum, high safety, long lasting effect and good mixability With its characteristics, it is widely used in the fields of animal health, agriculture, public health and other fields. In recent years, with the promotion and application of lufenuron in the agricultural field, the development of lufenuron market has accelerated. Relying on excellent insecticidal properties, rich compound products and increasingly expanding application scenarios, the lufenuron market has great development potential in the future.
