Analysis of upstream and downstream industries of fluorinated pesticides and intermediates in China

Make Virtual Participation of 2021 China Pesticide Exporting Workshop to see all the presentation video

According to incomplete statistics, the fluorine-containing compounds in the new varieties of pesticides developed in the past 10 years globally are as high as more than 50%. Fluorine-containing pesticides have become the main direction of the development and application of the pesticide industry, which shows the important position of fluorine atoms in pesticides.

As an important fluorine-containing heterocyclic structure, trifluoromethyl pyridine is also a common group in current commercial pesticides. From the perspective of classification, it covers the entire pesticide categories and should still be the mainstream of market supply. 

In 2021 China Pesticide Exporting Workshop, Xiao Lifeng, Vice general manager of Dalian Join King Fine Chemical, gave a basic introduction to China's fluorine-containing pesticides and intermediates industry, to help global buyers understand China's pesticide industry more clearly , so as to find cooperation opportunities for development. 

Major fluorinated pesticides

Fluorinated herbicide

Trifluralin, Oxyfluorfen, Fomesafen, Acifluorfen, Fluazifop, Flumioxazin, Flupoxan, Carfentrazone-ethyl, etc.

Fluorinated fungicide

Fluazinam, Fluopyram, Fluopicolide, Flusilazole, Triflumizole, Dichlofluanid, Nuarimol, etc.

Fluorinated insecticide

-Fluorinated pyrethroids: Bifenthrin, Brofluthrinate, Flumethrin, etc.

-Fluorinated benzamides: Hexaflumuron, Diflubenzuron, Penfluron, Teflubenzuron, etc.

Fluorinated acaricide

Fluazinam, Arylfluoroamine, Chlorfenapyr, etc.

Fluorinated PGR

3-Indolebutyric acid, Flurprimidol, Flumetralin, etc.

Fluorinated rodenticide

Flocoumafen, Bromethalin, etc.

The fluorine-containing pesticide intermediates mainly include: aliphatic fluoride, fluorinated heterocyclic compounds, fluorobenzene compounds, and trifluoromethyl compounds. 

Overall, the development of fluorobenzene intermediates in China is relatively early, and the current production capacity is generally surplus; The development of trifluorotoluene intermediates is relatively late, and the development speed has been relatively fast in recent years; For heterocyclic aromatic compounds, especially fluorine-containing pyridines, currently only a few research units and manufacturers in China possess the synthesis technology of fluorine-containing pyridine intermediates. Therefore, fluorine-containing pyridine intermediates will become one of the main directions for the research and development of fluorine-containing intermediates in the next few years.
