Antioxidant industry market research

Antioxidants are organic compounds that inhibit or delay the thermal oxidation of polymers and other organic compounds in the air. Antioxidant is an important food additive. Its mechanism of action includes binding metal ions, scavenging free radicals, scavenging oxygen, inhibiting oxidase activity, quenching singlet oxygen, etc. Antioxidants can prevent or delay the oxidation of food, prolong the storage life of commodities, and improve the stability and safety of food.

Antioxidant industry market research

There are several types of antioxidants:

(1) Antioxidants can be divided into synthetic antioxidants (such as BHA, BHT, PG, etc.) and natural antioxidants (such as tea polyphenols, phytic acid, etc.) according to their sources.

(2) Antioxidants can be divided into three categories according to solubility: oil solubility, water solubility and compatibility. Oil soluble antioxidants include BHA, BHT, etc. Water soluble antioxidants include ascorbic acid, tea polyphenols, etc. Compatible antioxidants are ascorbic acid palmitate and so on.

(3) According to the mode of action, antioxidants can be divided into free radical absorbent, metal ion chelating agent, oxygen scavenger, peroxide decomposition agent, enzyme antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber or singlet oxygen quenching agent, etc.

China is the largest antioxidant production country in Asia, and the largest domestic antioxidant production enterprises include Linyi Sanfeng, Tianjin Lianlong, Baifu Chemical, BASf Highbridge, etc. From the perspective of industrial structure, most Chinese antioxidant enterprises mainly produce hindered phenolic antioxidants and organic phosphite esters, and their combined production capacity accounts for about 94%. It can be seen that Chinese antioxidant products are relatively simple. In the long run, with the upgrading of market demand and intensifying market competition, the antioxidant industry will gradually upgrade to the direction of safety, high-end, diversification and naturalization. In the future, enterprises with high-end antioxidant production capacity and innovation ability will have more development advantages.

In recent years, with the increasing attention of residents to food safety, the increasing market demand for antioxidants has promoted the continuous expansion of the industry scale.

At present, antioxidants have been widely used in production, life, technology and other fields in the world. Due to the development of China and the global economy, people's demand for material life has increased, and the demand for antioxidants is also gradually expanding.

At present, China has reached or approached the advanced level of foreign countries in the field of general antioxidants, such as 1010, 1076, 168 and other products, the performance and indicators can basically meet the demand of polyolefin market, and the domestic competition is relatively full. However, in the field of specialized antioxidants, there is still a certain gap between local enterprises and overseas giants, and a considerable amount of quality still needs to rely on imports. After nearly ten years of rapid development, Leanlong has formed a competitive trend with BASF. It is expected that the rapid expansion of domestic olefin production will bring about an additional demand of 100,000 to 150,000 tons of antioxidants. Enterprises with financial advantages and technical strength are expected to seize more market shares.
