Due to the late start of China's TPU film manufacturers, mainly for China's low-end TPU film market, while TPU film production technology and production experience threshold is high, so resulting in the current stage of China's professional TPU film producers are fewer in number, the industry is characterized by a high degree of concentration.

Foreign TPU particle enterprises products are mainly concentrated in the adhesives, cables, high-end injection molding and other medium and high-end markets. South Korea Jinxing Industry, Taiwan Kunzhong and three wobbly have produced TPU particles. BASF Bayer as the representative of foreign enterprises occupy the high-end market of China's TPU particle industry. Chinese enterprises mainly include Yantai Wanhua, Zhejiang Huafeng and Shanghai Lianjing, and the overall industry concentration of TPU particles is relatively high.

Summarized TPU film manufacturers are as follows:

(1) Taiwan Dingji

Dinkey Chemical was founded in 1981 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is the world's largest TPU film manufacturer, with a global dominant position in the field of TPU film applications.

Its TPU film products include: waterproof and moisture permeable film, microporous breathable film, TPU leather, hot melt adhesive film series, non-yellowing hot melt adhesive film, shoe application series, non-yellowing series, medical grade moisture permeable film, bulletproof glass film, TPU foaming series, elastic bands and so on.

(2) Dongguan Xionglin

Established in July 2006, Dongguan Xionglin New Material mainly produces cast TPU films, and owns a number of cast TPU film production lines, and is the largest supplier of cast TPU films in Asia in terms of annual sales volume.

(3) Zhongshan Borealis

Founded in 2007, BORIS was listed on the New Third Board in 2015. Its TPU film products include cast and blown film processes. The main business of Borealis is the research and development, production and sales of functional TPU films.

(4) Shenzhen Gaoxiang

The competitive landscape of the TPU industry is mainly composed of three parts: Taiwan, China, foreign countries, and mainland China. From the geographical point of view, the comparison between the main producers in China's TPU industry and foreign enterprises is as follows:

In the Chinese market, the middle and high-end markets of the TPU industry are mainly occupied by enterprises in Taiwan, Europe and the United States. Taiwan and foreign TPU enterprises have more than 30 years of development history and rich experience, so their market position in China's TPU industry is very important. Due to the more mature technology and stable product performance of Taiwan and foreign enterprises, Taiwan and foreign enterprises mainly occupy the middle and high-end market.

Foreign enterprises are mostly diversified product producers, and their products are involved in many parts of the polyurethane industry chain. BASF provides TPU upstream raw materials such as MDI, polyol and other basic chemical materials, and also produces TPU particles, and produces TPU film products on the basis of TPU particles. For example, Bayer MaterialScience's TPU films are mainly Dureflex series products produced by its North American materials company, and Bayer MaterialScience also produces other polyurethane products. Huntsman's TPU film products are focused on TPU glass sheets, and Huntsman also offers base chemicals such as MDI. Lubrizol produces many types of TPU particles and TPU film products. Therefore, foreign companies have a wider range of products, and TPU film is one of the many material products with a more comprehensive product structure.

Taiwan TPU film manufacturer's product structure is mostly TPU film and other plastic products constitute the company's main products. Taiwan enterprises are mainly concentrated in the products of pneumatic tube, shoe materials, adhesives and other markets. Taiwan Dingji Chemical not only produces TPU film, but also produces TPU seals, pneumatic tubes, conveyor belts and other related TPU products. Taiwan Golding Chemical produces TPU particles and extends its TPU particle production line to TPU films.
