Since the 1980s, dry mixed mortar represented by ceramic tile binder, caulk, self-flow and waterproof mortar has entered the Chinese market, and then some international brands of redispersible redispersible powder production enterprises have entered the Chinese market, leading the development of dry mixed mortar in China.
As an indispensable raw material in special dry mix mortar such as tile binder, self-leveling mortar and wall insulation system supporting mortar, redispersible polymer powder plays an important role in the performance of special dry mix mortar. From the perspective of the global market, the amount of redispersible polymer powder has been showing a steady growth trend, at the same time, the promotion of domestic building energy conservation and emission reduction policies, the promotion of green building materials and the wide acceptance of special dry mix mortar and a large number of applications, promote the domestic market demand for redispersible polymer powder rapid growth, since 2007, Some foreign multinational companies and domestic enterprises have set up redispersible polymer powder production lines all over the country.
After nearly 20 years of development, the domestic demand for redispersible polymer powder has shown a stable growth trend corresponding to the international, we have integrated the data of the past five years, 2013-2017 redispersible polymer powder production showed a relatively stable growth trend, in 2017, the domestic redispersible polymer powder production of 113,000 tons, an increase of 6.6%. Before 2010, due to the rapid growth of the domestic real estate market, led to a substantial increase in the capacity of the insulation market, but also led to the strong demand for redispersible latex powder, many companies invested in the field of redispersible latex powder, in order to gain short-term benefits, rapid growth of production capacity, the current production capacity is formed before 2010. In recent years, the domestic real estate market downturn, the decline of new commercial housing, construction and new project approval in varying degrees of slowdown, directly caused the slowdown in the demand for all kinds of building materials, but in the past two years, the building renovation market gradually formed a scale, from another aspect to promote the development of special dry mix mortar behavior, but also led to the redispersible polymer powder demand growth.
The redispersible polymer powder industry has entered an adjustment period after 2012, the new industry competition pattern has gradually formed, the market has entered a stable development stage, and the production capacity of redispersible polymer powder has also remained stable. Due to the relatively large gap between production capacity and demand, coupled with the rational cost and profit regulation, the price of redispersible latex powder has been on a downward trend, and the price of redispersible latex powder in the domestic market has been declining year by year from 2013 to 2017. In 2017, the average price of latex powder in domestic enterprises is 14 RMB/kg, the average price of foreign brand latex powder is 16 RMB/kg, and the product price gap of domestic and foreign enterprises is narrowing year by year, mainly because of the improvement of production technology of domestic enterprises, the strengthening of product independent innovation ability, and the improvement of the quality level of redispersable polymer powder.
At present, the domestic redispersible emulsion powder industry has begun to take shape, and there is still a certain gap between domestic production enterprises and developed countries in production technology and equipment, research and development investment, product quality, and application development, which is also the main factor affecting and restricting the healthy development of the redispersible emulsion powder industry. The domestic brand redispersible emulsion powder has not become the market leader, the main reason is the lack of technical strength of domestic enterprises, non-standard management, poor product stability, single varieties.
Compared with other chemical projects, the construction period of redispersible polymer powder projects is short and the product is widely used, so there is a phenomenon of disorderly competition in the industry. In addition, due to the lack of industry standards and market norms adhered to by mortar manufacturers, there are most small enterprises with low technical level and limited capital investment in the industry, these enterprises have environmental pollution problems in the production process, and the low cost and low price impact of low quality and low environmental protection investment can be redispersed latex powder market. As a result, the market is filled with many unqualified and non-standard products, and the quality is uneven. At the same time, some enterprises in order to meet customer needs, seek to maximize immediate benefits, take short-term behavior at the expense of product quality, especially in the past two years, many compound products in the domestic redispersible polymer powder market phenomenon, with conventional products in appearance can not be distinguished clearly, simple on-site testing can also pass, the product price is relatively low. However, its durability is poor, and after adding the external wall insulation product system and applying it to the wall, there will be quality problems within two or three months.
At the same time, we also see that due to the frequent occurrence of safety accidents such as wall tiles falling off and formaldehyde excessive caused by product quality problems in recent years, the public's concern for the safety of the living environment and the improvement of relevant regulations by the state, the product supervision will increase, and the redispersible polymer powder industry will gradually move towards a healthy and sustainable development stage
