Analysis of Chlorpyrifos industry in China

Since 2007, China not only ended the long-term dependence on imported intermediate chlorpyrifos important situation of sodium trichloro-ol, also turned into the export out of sodium trichloro-ol. With high quality and low-cost advantage, China's share of chlorpyrifos products in the international market continued to expand. Latest survey shows that total production capacity of the domestic chlorpyrifos in 2010 was about 116,000 tons / year, compared to 2006 increased by more than 6 times. Meanwhile, the original drug Chlorpyrifos in China in 2010 production is estimated close to 40,000 tons, an increase of 40%, mainly due to improved international economic situation makes this year's exports increased significantly. 

U.S. information researcher Guo Qiuhua West, said: "Some leading companies like Nanjing Red Sun, the ongoing upgrading of the production line technology to continuously improve their international competitiveness. With Trichloropyridine alcohol sodium advances in production technology, China has become the world's Chlorpyrifos largest production base of the original drug. pesticide industry in recent years more and more stringent emission standards for water pollutants, chlorpyrifos manufacturers will gradually shift in the next few years tetrachloropyridine routes, alternative at this stage most of the manufacturers take Trichloroacetyl chloride route. "low-cost advantages of making high quality domestic chlorpyrifos from 2006, the rapid growth in the international market share, export volume and value have a more substantial increase. However, due to the increase in domestic production capacity much faster than the increase in market demand, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos is why the original drug manufacturer is still relatively low operating rate this year. ] 

In recent years, the price fluctuations of chlorpyrifos, but the production technology improvement, cost reduction, the rapid expansion of production capacity and other reasons, prices in general continued to show a clear downward trend. This year, though now the country is still significant overcapacity of chlorpyrifos, but significant growth in demand in overseas markets, from large to ensure price stability of chlorpyrifos. The impact of oil prices by making rapid rise in raw material prices, chlorpyrifos prices began to rebound from the end of the third quarter. Chlorpyrifos 95% of drug ex-factory price of 4,370 dollars from the September / ton to 10 months up to 4,600 U.S. dollars / ton, and also maintained a rising momentum.
