China's growth rate of fluorine chemical workers will maintain 12%
During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China's fluorine chemical industry is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of around 12%. Specific segments show varying rates: hydrogen fluoride at 9%, inorganic fluorides at 8%, fine fluorine chemicals at 12%, ODS substitutes at 18%, HCFC-22 at 7.5%, PTFE at 7%, meltable fluororesins at 23%, and fluorine rubber at 12%. These figures were shared by a reporter at the 5th China Fluorine-Silicone Organic Material Industry Association meeting.
China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of fluorspar, accounting for over half of global production. However, since 2000, export volumes have been declining. This trend highlights the need for sustainable development in the fluorine industry.
Over the past five years, hydrogen fluoride has seen a 12% annual growth, driven mainly by demand from organic fluorine products such as F22 and PTFE. As a major producer and consumer of fluoropolymers, China's PTFE consumption rose from 13,000 tons in 2002 to over 24,000 tons in 2005. In 2004, PTFE exports reached 3,900 tons.
Domestic demand for fluorine-based products has grown faster than the global average. The aluminum industry's expansion has increased the need for aluminum fluoride. The textile sector, with relaxed quotas, is boosting demand for high-performance fluorine-based finishing agents and reactive dyes. The electronics industry is also driving demand for high-purity hydrogen fluoride and specialized fluorides. Meanwhile, pharmaceuticals are showing growing interest in physiologically active fluorine compounds, and agriculture is turning toward eco-friendly, low-toxicity fluorochemical pesticides.
Additionally, due to environmental regulations and rising labor costs in developed countries, some basic fluorine production is shifting to China and South Asian nations, offering new opportunities for the domestic fluorine industry.
Under the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan," the focus will be on restructuring the industry, promoting mid-to-high-end products, enhancing self-sufficiency, and increasing the share of fine fluorine chemicals. Large-scale production of high-value-added fluorine materials, meltable fluoropolymers, and new ODS substitutes will be prioritized.
