Chloroacetyl Chloride Market
Chloroacetyl chloride is a light-yellowish-colored organic compound derived from the chlorination process of acetyl chloride with strong aliphatic acids. It is highly corrosive & toxic and tends to release fumes with a pungent odor when exposed to moist air. Chloroacetyl chloride is widely used as an integral ingredient in the production of various pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediates such as butachlor and alachlor. The principal application of the chemical is as an intermediary in the synthesis of butachlor and alachlor. Alachlor and butachlor are produced each year using more than 100 million pounds of Chloroacetyl chloride. An herbicide from the chloro acetanilide family is alachlor, while herbicides of the acetanilide family include butachlor. The most significant of these is the synthesis of adrenaline, chloroacetic acid esters, and anhydride, which uses Chloroacetyl chloride as an intermediary. Moreover, the chemical modification of polymers and the manufacture of N-hydrazino acetyl-sulphonamides both require Chloroacetyl chloride (glycidyl methacrylate).
Market Dynamics
In recent past years, the chloroacetyl chloride market has witnessed a rise in demand in Asia-Pacific region owing to growth in the consumption of pesticides and fertilizers in the farming industry. Chloroacetyl chloride is widely used in the formulation of herbicides used in farming. The agriculture industry is facing a challenge to meet the demands of food products in Asia-Pacific due to the rapid rise of population in the region. Pesticides and fertilizers are being used to increase the production rate of crops. This is expected to foster the market’s growth in forthcoming years.
Companies involved in the pharmaceutical industry are transitioning from batch production to continuous flow production technology to align with the rising demand for medicines in emerging economies. As Chloroacetyl chloride is employed in the pharmaceutical sector to prepare active medicinal components, this is anticipated to fuel an increase in demand for the substance.
