Survey of Fluorine Industry in China

There is no doubt that fluorine industry has been one of the fastest developing and most promising chemical industries in China and China is the second largest economy in the world. Thus, fluorine chemicals, such as inorganic fluoride, refrigerant, fluorpolymer and fluorintermediate four main sectors are absolutely worth investigating.

After tenyear development, with the appreciated policies implemented, China has formed a complete industrial chain, from fluorite supply to each sector in downstream. However, most China's production of fluorine chemical concentrates in primary products so far, and there are a high proportion of these primary products for export.

Central Government adopts a series of policies to protect the fluorite resources and upgrade the industry structure. For example, exploitation quota has been set up since 2010 and it is predicted that the quota will be generally reduced in the coming five years. Moreover, fluorine chemical industry has been listed as a subplan in Twelfth Five Years Plan. A series of polices in restriction of fluorite and hydrogen fluoride production has been put forward and integration of fluorite resources forcefully becomes the hot point after 2010. As a result, the prices of many fluorine chemicals have increased a lot since 2010 and price of fluorite rose to the peak in June 2011.

Domestic demand for fluorine products is estimated to keep increasing steadily in the coming five years, which is considered to be the most important driven factor to China's fluorine chemical industry. So it is crucial to find out the consumption situation in China.

In order to have a comprehensive understanding of fluorine industry, lots of investigation has been made. To inorganic fluoride, a widely investigation is made and not only traditional products, but also lithium hexafluorophosphate which is fast developed in the past two years, is further investigated. To fluorrefrigerant, HCFC22, HFC134a and HFC410A are deeply surveyed and some valuable analysis has been done. To fluorpolymer, both resin and rubber are researched and the whole graphics is drawn. To fluorintermediate, major synthesis routes are investigated and some exclusive opinions are raised. To sum up, in detail, analysis and forecast about each sector of fluorine industry in China are presented in this report.
