Development of China's fluorine chemical industry at present, the total amount of global fluorine chemical products (including inorganic fluorine) is about 250wt (including inorganic fluorine products), with sales of more than 21 billion US dollars. The average annual growth rate in the past five years has reached 3.5%. There are nearly 100 kinds of inorganic fluoride products, with a total amount of about 100wt and a sales volume of about US $2 billion (electronic chemicals, optical materials, catalysts, etc. account for more than half); There are thousands of fluorine-containing fine chemicals, with sales of about 15 billion US dollars, accounting for about 70% of fluorine chemical products. In recent years, with the sustained and rapid development of China's economy, the annual growth rate of fluoride demand has reached more than 12%. In particular, the rapid development of automobile, electronic information, construction and petrochemical industry provides a broad market space for fluorochemical industry. With the enhancement of economic strength and the improvement of people's living standards, the growth rate of China's demand for fluorine is much higher than the global average. As the main raw material of fluorine chemical industry, fluorite is a non renewable resource. With the rapid development of China's fluorine chemical industry, the demand for raw materials is rising day by day. Therefore, the fluorite mine with large reserves, high grade, good quality and low mining cost will be subject to key protective mining, and the export license quota of fluorite mineral will be greatly reduced.
The production technology of China's fluorine chemical industry is becoming more and more mature, the scale is expanding, and the product grade is gradually increasing. The products can basically meet the domestic demand Over the past decade, China's fluorochemical industry has formed a certain industrial layout,. At present, China's anhydrous hydrogen fluoride production capacity has reached 800000 tons per year, 74000 tons of TFE and 33000 tons of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). The demand for PTFE ranks first in the world after the United States, Europe and Japan. The demand for fluororubber will reach 7000 tons in 2010, with broad market development prospects.
The domestic development of fluorine chemical industry has the advantages of rich raw material resources, low investment and cheap labor. China has increasingly become an international production and export base of fluorine chemical industry. The entry of multinational companies into the Chinese market not only brings technology to the domestic fluorochemical industry, but also intensifies the competition. The competition in the domestic low-end field has been very fierce. The focus of multinational corporations is mainly to control the high-end market and obtain domestic fluorine resources at the same time. For domestic fluorine chemical enterprises, how to more effectively absorb and utilize foreign advanced technology and strengthen R & D, but we should also face up to the low-level repeated construction and vicious competition in the fluorine chemical industry.
