According to the "Research Report on China's p-Nitroaniline Industry Research and Investment Prospects (2021 Edition)" released by Limu Information Consulting, p-Nitroaniline is an important chemical raw material, which can be directly used in the synthesis of various dyes and pigments. It can be used as p-phenylenediamine, o-chloro-p-nitroaniline, 2.6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline, 5-nitro-2-chlorophenol, etc. It can also be used to synthesize pesticide chlornitramine and medicine caliche; Raw materials for antioxidants, light stabilizers, developers, etc.

From the perspective of global p-nitroaniline market demand, the global p-nitroaniline market demand in 2016 was 115,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%; in 2017, the global p-nitroaniline market demand was 119,200 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%; In 2018, the global p-nitroaniline market demand was 123,300 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%; in 2019, the global p-nitroaniline market demand was 127,400 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.5%; in 2020, the global p-nitroaniline market demand was 129,200 tons, an increase of 2.0% year-on-year.

At present, the domestic production capacity of p-nitroaniline is about 110,000 tons per year, and about 20,000 tons are sold to foreign markets every year. At present, the domestic market concentration of p-nitroaniline enterprises is relatively high, and enterprises with large production capacity include Suzhou Rosen Auxiliary Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia Kailidi Chemical Co., Ltd. and Dingyuan County Fashion New Materials Co., Ltd. In recent years, the domestic p-nitroaniline production enterprises have achieved good benefits, and the operating rate of the enterprises has reached about 80%.

p-Nitroaniline is a project with good market prospects, the key lies in the temperature and pressure control of the ammoniation process and the treatment of waste water. Reducing ammonia consumption and wastewater volume is the key to the production process of this product, and the recovery of the by-product ammonium chloride in wastewater is also a problem worthy of consideration by various manufacturers. In addition, the automation control degree of each production enterprise is not high, and the manual intermittent operation is basically used. Each set of equipment has a large number of personnel, and the labor cost is relatively large. The use of advanced automation control is the first choice for cost reduction in the future.
