The market demand for rubber antioxidants is steadily increasing, and market supply and demand are basically balanced.
Rubber antioxidant refers to a chemical substance that can delay rubber aging and extend the service life of rubber during the rubber production process. It is mainly used in tires, hoses, tapes, wires and cables and other fields. According to different chemical structures, rubber antioxidants can be divided into ammonium antioxidants, phenolic antioxidants, heterocyclic antioxidants, etc.; according to different functions, they can be divided into anti-ozonants, harmful metal ion inhibitors, and anti-thermal oxygen aging agents. , anti-fatigue agent, ultraviolet absorber, anti-cracking agent, etc.
Tires are the largest application market for rubber antioxidants. In recent years, against the background of the continuous development of the automobile industry, the development trend of the domestic rubber tire industry has been improving. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s rubber tire production will reach 899.108 million units in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 9.9%. Against this background, the demand for rubber antioxidants in my country has shown a steady growth trend. According to the “Comprehensive Market of China’s Rubber Antiaging Agent Industry 2022-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center “Research and Investment Analysis Report” shows that my country’s rubber antioxidant market demand in 2021 will be approximately 412,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.9%.
At present, my country is the world’s largest producer of carbon disulfide. In 2021, domestic carbon disulfide production will be approximately 676,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%. Carbon disulfide is the main raw material for the production of rubber antioxidants. The continuous development of upstream raw materials has a positive impact on the stable production of rubber antioxidants in my country. According to data from the China Rubber Industry Association, my country’s rubber antioxidant production increased from 367,000 tons in 2020 to 415,000 tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 12.8%. To sum up, my country’s rubber antioxidant market supply and demand are in balance, and the industry has good development prospects.
The entry threshold for the rubber antioxidant industry is low. There are a large number of related companies in my country, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the market competition is fierce. At present, the leading domestic rubber antioxidant companies mainly include Shandong Shangshun, Tianjin Kemai, Sinopec Nanhua, Sennics, Yixing Jujinxin, Shanxi Xiangyu, etc., and the industry concentration is low. In the future, as the country’s dual-carbon goals continue to advance and environmental protection efforts continue to increase, my country’s rubber antioxidant market structure will continue to be optimized. Some small companies will face extinction, dominant leading companies will occupy more market shares, and industry concentration will continue to increase. .
Industry Analysts personnel said that in recent years, against the backdrop of the rising trend of the global rubber industry and tire production bases shifting to Asia, my country’s rubber The development of the antioxidant industry has ushered in huge development opportunities, and the industry has good development prospects. Although the supply and demand of rubber antioxidants in my country are currently basically balanced, domestic products are still concentrated in the mid-to-low-end market, and high-end products are insufficiently supplied. Therefore, in the future, domestic companies will need to continue to increase product innovation and technology research and development, and accelerate the advancement of the domestic market towards the high-end market. The direction is constantly transforming and upgrading, and the industry has huge potential for future development.
