Strong demand drives the methionine industry

Since 2008, although the domestic methionine market has been running weakly, on the whole, the demand is strong. Therefore, the development trend of methionine in the industry is still promising.

Methionine is an important amino acid species and an essential additive in animal feeds. Animal feed supplemented with methionine can help animals grow rapidly in a short period of time, saving about 40% of feed. The largest consumer market for methionine is feed additives. For a long time, the demand for methionine in the global market has continued to grow rapidly. In order to meet the consuming demand of methionine, methionine production continues to increase worldwide. In 1993, the global production of methionine was 260,000 tons, 450,000 tons in 1999 and 600,000 tons in 2005. In recent years, the market demand and the steadily rising prices have made the production plants expand their methionine production capacity.

In 1959, Hebei Pharmaceutical Factory built China's first small-scale synthetic methionine device, after which some small-scale synthetic methionine devices were successively built. The total production capacity was only about 200 tons/year, and Hebei Pharmaceutical Factory had the largest scale, only 70~80 tons. /year. Due to the small scale of production, backward technology, low level of control and high production costs, it is difficult to compete with foreign countries and production has been suspended. Over the years, it has been difficult for China's feed methionine to change its dependence on imports. In 2003, the import volume exceeded 55,000 tons, and the import amount reached 155 million US dollars, accounting for 16% of the national import amount of chemical raw material medicines. In the first quarter of 2004, methionine still ranked first among imported varieties of chemical raw materials in China. For a long time, Chinese enterprises have also been actively developing feed methionine, and some companies have also cooperated with foreign companies to jointly invest in the construction of methionine production lines. On January 17, 2006, the China National Bluestar (Group) Corporation officially completed the settlement of France's Antissu Group in Brussels, Belgium, becoming the first overseas acquisition of China's chemical industry, filling China's methionine and bio-enzymes industry and technology. blank. The Adisseo Group is the world's largest professional animal nutrition additive company. It possesses the most advanced methionine engineering technology and production equipment. It is the only company in the world that can produce both liquid and solid methionine. Its main product methionine market share ranks second in the world. .

At present, China’s imports of methionine for feed use have increased year by year. With the acceleration of China’s aquaculture development, China has become the world’s second largest feed producer. The annual output of feed is second only to the United States, reaching 100 million tons/year, and is growing at a relatively large rate. The market demand for feed additives is therefore increasing. Increased substantially. Although the current market is subject to small fluctuations due to the influence of prices and holidays, overall, the demand for methionine in domestic and foreign markets will continue to increase at a relatively large rate, especially for methionine for feeds. By 2010, the global demand for methionine will increase. Will reach 900,000 tons, China's demand for methionine will also reach more than 100,000 tons.

The continued strong growth in demand has promoted the domestic industry to accelerate the development of the methionine industry. Some enterprises in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Hubei, and Shanghai have also shown great interest in the production of methionine and its supply of raw materials. At present, there are more than a dozen companies that have methionine APIs throughout the country. The company's production capacity has been continuously expanded. The country's methionine production capacity has reached more than 1,000 tons, and its annual output is about 700 tons.

Some experts believe that the domestic technology for producing methionine is not too high to climb. In recent years, some research institutions in China have also made progress in developing their own technologies. It is feasible to use their own technology to build a certain scale of methionine production facilities. In addition, in the past decade or so, China's material and equipment manufacturing industry has made great progress, and the materials needed for the construction of methionine devices have also passed through now.

The production of methionine raw materials is no longer a big problem, China's existing propylene production capacity 1.5 million to 1.6 million tons / year, sodium cyanide 90,000 tons / year or more, hydrogen sulfide production is also very large, from the natural gas separation of hydrogen sulfide, oil refining Plants and inorganic salt production plants also produce by-product hydrogen sulphide, and some large-scale petrochemical companies basically have main raw materials. In addition, the methionine production plant can be separated from the intermediate raw materials, acrolein and methyl mercaptan, and acrolein and methyl mercaptan can also be used in the production of pesticides, glutaraldehyde, and the like. With the development of the storage and transportation industry, the supply of raw materials is not a problem. For example, the Adisseo Methionine production plant was built in the United States, France, and Spain, and its raw material was produced in France, and ships were used to transport raw materials to Spain and the United States. China's existing acrolein and methyl mercaptan production plants have also shipped their products thousands of miles away for use by pesticide plants, and some have even been exported to Europe and other places. Therefore, the problem of raw materials can be solved.

In the next few years, China will independently build a methionine device with a certain scale. At present, we must continue to do a good job in research and development. Enterprises should consider joint efforts to form an integrated methionine industrial chain.
