Which Factors are Propelling the Chloroacetic Acid Demand?

The increased use of derivative products in tin stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride processing, oil field applications, and surfactants are expected to be the key factors for market growth. Furthermore, chloroacetic acid has industrial applications in the production of ethyl cellulose, herbicides, and thioglycolic acid.

Because of the rising demand for chloroacetic acid in the production of glycine, the global chloroacetic acid market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. Chloroacetic acid amination with ammonia yields glycine, which is used as a stabilizing agent in antacids, analgesics, antiperspirants, and toiletries.

Which Factors are Restraining the Calcium Peroxide Market Demand?

Regulatory requirements on chloroacetic acid are a key factor impeding the chloroacetic acid industry's growth. Chloroacetic acid can be toxic if swallowed or applied to the skin, according to the European Union's harmonized categorization and labeling (ATP01). If inhaled, it also causes eye and skin irritation damage.

Moreover, the classification provided by companies to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) registrations aided in determining that chloroacetic acid is toxic to aquatic life and may be corrosive to metals. These factors limit its usage and restrain market growth.

What are the Key Opportunities in the Chloroacetic Acid Market?

The use of chloroacetic acid in the stabilization of PVC and the production of a variety of cosmetics has also contributed to the rise of the global chloroacetic acid market. Over the last decade, the global market for chloroacetic acid has grown at a significant rate. The widespread use of this carboxyl group in the industrial sector is one of the primary drivers of chloroacetic acid market growth.

Moreover, chloroacetic acid is a necessary element in the development of organic synthesis, which has increased its demand. The rising popularity of thickening agents such as carboxymethyl starch and carboxymethyl cellulose is expected to create new opportunities in the global market for chloroacetic acid.

Region-wise Analysis

Which Region is projected to Offer the Largest Opportunity for Chloroacetic Acid Market?

Over the forecast period, Asia Pacific will be a profitable chloroacetic acid market due to rising agricultural industries in India and China, as well as regulatory incentives to increase domestic production output.

The advancement of the pesticide residues, dyes, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industry in China is anticipated to propel the market due to low manufacturing costs and easy raw material access. The Government of India constituted the "Draft National Chemical Policy" in February 2014, with the goal of increasing domestic chemical output from 3% to 6% by 2020. This policy will open up new avenues for manufacturers.

Due to the introduction of hydraulic fracturing, which has resulted in increased domestic manufacturing of natural gas and crude oil, North America is anticipated to be a potential market for chloroacetic acid. Because of the existence of dominant cosmetic manufacturers, Europe is also expected to be a profitable market.

The expanding application scope of chloroacetic acid for the production of betaines and imidazolines, which are used in the production of personal care products, is expected to be a positive factor for the chloroacetic acid industry. Furthermore, this compound is used in the iron ore and taconite mining areas.

Country-wise Analysis

U.S. Chloroacetic Acid Market Analysis

The United States is expected to have the highest chloroacetic acid market of US$ 1.4 Bn by the end of 2032. Rising investigation and drilling of shale deposits in the United States for domestic natural gas production is expected to boost the market for drilling fluids, propelling the chloroacetic acid market in the country during the forecasted period.

Chloroacetic acid is a halogenated acetic acid derivative that is used in the production of drugs, drilling fluids, pesticides, and dyes. Growing agriculture industries are further expected to drive pesticide demand, which will drive chloroacetic acid market growth due to favorable government regulatory support and raw material access.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Commission have developed regulatory standards targeted at decreasing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which has led to growth for bio-based chemicals and will harm the industry.

Competitive Analysis

Some of the key companies like Akzo Nobel, CABB GmbH, Daicel, Solvay, Niacet, Dow Chemical Company, Denak Co. Ltd., and PCC MCAA Sp. z o.o.

Some of the recent developments in the Chloroacetic Acid Market are :

• In December 2021, the new ultra-pure MCAA manufacturing facility of PCC MCAA Sp. z o.o., which began operations in 2016, considerably expanded the value stream of the Chlorine sector since it uses chlorine that it generates as an input. It also allows for backward vertical integration, as MCAA is a raw material used in the manufacturing of betaine in our Surfactants division. Ultra-pure MCAA is largely utilized as an intermediary in the production of personal care products, but it is also employed in the agriculture, food, and pharmaceutical sectors.
• In October 2021, Akzo Nobel obtained a patent for the technique of producing monochloroacetic acid. This invention relates to a reactive distillation method for producing monochloroacetic acid utilizing chlorine and acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. The method, as well as the requisite reactive distillation apparatus, is less complicated than conventional reactors, and it produces a monochloroacetic acid product with a low proportion of over-chlorinated compounds.
