The paper industry, textile industry, and chemical synthesis are the three traditional major consumption sectors for hydrogen peroxide in China. China’s paper and textile industries rank among the top in the world in terms of production capacity and output. In recent years, the consumption in these two industries has accounted for over 50% of the total consumption. As production capacity in the field of chemical synthesis continues to increase, the consumption of hydrogen peroxide in this sector is also on a steady upward trend. According to incomplete statistics, the consumption of hydrogen peroxide in these three industries in our country accounts for 90% at present. Furthermore, with the implementation of new environmental protection laws, requirements for wastewater treatment have become increasingly stringent, and the role of hydrogen peroxide in wastewater treatment applications has also been gradually increasing. As of June 2016, based on market research and statistical analysis, BaiChuan Information determined that the demand structure for hydrogen peroxide in China’s downstream industries is as follows (all demand figures for hydrogen peroxide are calculated based on a concentration of 27.5%): China’s pulp production capacity is approximately 80 million tons, resulting in a demand for hydrogen peroxide of around 2.8 million tons per year ； The domestic capacity for caprolactam (already in operation) is 2.35 million tons, while the demand for hydrogen peroxide is around 3.05 million tons per year ； The domestic production capacity of propylene oxide via the HPPO method (already in operation) is 400,000 tons, while the actual production capacity is 200,000 tons; the demand for hydrogen peroxide is approximately 314,000 tons per year ； The domestic production capacity of epoxy soybean oil is around 800,000 tons, while the annual demand for hydrogen peroxide is about 720,000 tons.
II. Future development trends of hydrogen peroxide: As the production capacity of hydrogen peroxide continues to grow, and with the slowdown in China’s national economic growth over the past two years, domestic demand has also slowed down. This imbalance between supply and demand, along with persistently low prices, will force manufacturing enterprises to enter a phase of survival of the fittest and resource consolidation. Therefore, in the future, the hydrogen peroxide industry needs to continue to deepen adjustments to its consumption structure, increase investment in technology, and make greater efforts to tap into consumption potential outside of the traditional sectors. 1. The role of hydrogen peroxide in the development of the environmental protection industry: Hydrogen peroxide not only generates no pollutants during use, but it can also effectively treat industrial waste, especially various toxic wastewater, without causing secondary pollution. The environmental protection industry represents the largest potential market for hydrogen peroxide in China. Industrial water pollution is severe in this country, and the use of hydrogen peroxide for treating industrial wastewater is still in its infancy. With stricter environmental regulations and enhanced enforcement measures, as well as further reductions in the production costs of hydrogen peroxide, its application in environmental protection becomes increasingly necessary. Widespread use of hydrogen peroxide in wastewater treatment will bring new opportunities for development to the hydrogen peroxide industry. 2. The role of hydrogen peroxide in the development of the electronics industry: Hydrogen peroxide is an essential inorganic chemical in the advancement of the electronics industry, primarily used for cleaning and stripping photoresists. Our country has now become the world’s second-largest integrated circuit market. Integrated circuits have extremely strict requirements regarding the quality of liquid chemicals, and only high-purity hydrogen peroxide can meet these demands. Driven by the rapid growth of this industry, China’s semiconductor sector has seen a significant increase in its demand for high-purity hydrogen peroxide in recent years. High-purity hydrogen peroxide is primarily used as a cleaning agent for semiconductor wafers, as a etching agent, and as a remover of photoresist. In the electronics industry, it is employed to create high-quality insulating layers, to remove inorganic impurities from plating solutions, and in the processing of copper, copper alloys, as well as semiconductor materials such as gallium and germanium. It is also used in the manufacturing of cathode-ray tubes. Its purity has a significant impact on the yield, electrical performance, and reliability of integrated circuits. Currently, the large enterprises in China that are engaged in commercial-scale production include Shanghai Hubble Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Jingxin Chemical Co., Ltd., and Xi’an Hansong Electronics, among others. At present, the production scale of high-purity hydrogen peroxide in China is generally small, with a large proportion of mid- and low-grade products, leaving room for further development.
3. The development of hydrogen peroxide in the food industry: As the world’s largest food market, in 2002 the total value of China’s food industry exceeded one trillion yuan for the first time； In 2005, the total industrial output value of food enterprises above a certain scale across the country exceeded 2 trillion yuan ； In 2010, there were 41,286 enterprises in China’s food industry that met the specified size criteria, a figure that represented a 73.2% increase compared to 2005, with an average annual growth rate of 11.6% ； Achieve an industrial output value of 6.1 trillion yuan. In 2015, the total output value of China’s food industry was 11.34 trillion, roughly doubling compared to 2010. Industry experts say that the food industry has become a pillar sector of China’s national economy, and is even one of the industries with the greatest potential for sustainable development. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide boasts broad-spectrum and highly effective bactericidal properties; it is an environmentally friendly additive and disinfectant for food processing. It can be used for disinfecting flexible packaging and canned goods, sterilizing milk and dairy products, facilitating bread fermentation, decoloring food fibers, as well as serving as a preservative and antioxidant in foods. At present, hydrogen peroxide in our country is mainly used as a bleaching agent for foods such as wheat flour, edible oil, agar, and proteins. The development of specialized production of food-grade hydrogen peroxide in our country started late, and its growth has also been relatively slow. At present, there are over 10 domestic manufacturers of food-grade hydrogen peroxide, including Shandong Huatai Interos, Hangzhou Jingxin Chemical, Hangzhou Mingxin Chemical, and Suzhou Lingsu Peroxide Co., Ltd., with a total production capacity of less than 50,000 tons. Therefore, the development of food-grade hydrogen peroxide and the exploration of consumer demand in the food industry represent an important direction for the future growth of the hydrogen peroxide sector. 4. Development of hydrogen peroxide in other fields: The application of hydrogen peroxide in other fields also holds great market potential. In the aquaculture industry, hydrogen peroxide, as an ideal disinfectant and bactericide, is expected to see an increasing demand year by year. In the building materials industry, hydrogen peroxide can be used in the production of foaming agents for lightweight foam materials. Used in the machinery industry for the purification and cleaning of chemical equipment and pipelines. Used in plating solutions to remove inorganic impurities and improve the quality of the plated parts. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used for the synthesis of VB hydrochloride, dexamethasone, and prednisone; hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 3% or less can be used as a pharmaceutical antiseptic. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide also has broad applications in high-tech industries such as the preservation of fruits and vegetables. High-concentration hydrogen peroxide is used in the aerospace industry as a rocket fuel and oxygen source. Many potential consumer markets with great development potential are also being explored.
