Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose belongs to the chemical industry. With the acceleration of China’s urbanization process, China’s demand for HPMC products will increase year by year. In China’s vast rural areas, downstream products will also grow and improve product quality to cope with fierce market competition. Demand will increase, but HPMC product quality and cost-effective requirements will be higher. In the future, product quality and brand will become the focus of competition among manufacturers of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Breaking down technical barriers and ensuring product stability are the keys to sustainable market development in the future.

As a non-ionic cellulose ether, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is superior to ionic cellulose ether in terms of thickening, emulsification, film-forming, protective colloid, water retention, adhesion, etc. It has excellent performance and is widely used in Oilfield mining, latex paint, polymer polymerization, building materials, daily chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, papermaking, textile printing and dyeing and other industrial sectors. Compared with foreign countries, although my country’s HCFC phase-out management plan industry is not small, it lacks leading enterprises that play a decisive role in industrial development and market changes, and to a certain extent also lacks research and development input for industrial technology upgrading. Foreign-funded enterprises mainly focus on the high-end market, have professional market research support, and have great advantages in developing sales strategies. Take the application technology as the forerunner and occupy the market. Domestic enterprises mainly focus on the low-end market, or mainly foreign-funded enterprises. Due to lack of strength, lack of long-term strategy or ability to dominate the market. They just follow the market and do some small things. Therefore, domestic HPMC companies should vigorously increase R&D investment, pay attention to market development and personnel training, and realize business transformation and healthy development as soon as possible.

Judging from the current development trend, the domestic HPMC industry will inevitably bring about the integration of industry resources in the next few years. The hydroxypropyl methylcellulose of various manufacturers will use their own advantages to become more and more specialized to form their own business advantages. Advantages, brand advantages, cost advantages, through vicious competition such as homogenization and price pressure, HCFC production enterprises will become more rational and professional, and have their own characteristics and core advantages through integration. With the development of market technology and application constantly broadening and deepening, in the next 10 years, there will be several domestic secretaries of the same large or multinational companies like Dow Chemical Company and Hercules Public Company, leading domestic HPMC enterprises forward, forming A school where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
