Globa Chloroacetic Acid Market was valued at US$ 1575.6 million in 2021, According to Chloroacetic Acid Market Report, by Product Type (Monochloroacetic Acid and Trichloroacetic Acid) and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Global chloroacetic acid market was valued at US$ 1575.6 Million in 2021. Chloroacetic acid market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.47% over the forecast period (2022–2030), to reach US$ 2765.4 Million by 2030.
Chloroacetic acid is used for the manufacturing of raw materials including cyanoacetic ester for purines, vitamin B6, phenoxyacetic acid for penicillin, chloroacetylchloride for pharmaceutical and agrochemical, glycine for pet food, flavoring agents, and pharmaceutical for soluble aspirin. Chloroacetic acid is a synthetic organic intermediate used as an acidic derivative such as salt, acyl chloride, ester, hydrazide, anhydride, and amide due to the high reactivity of the carboxylic acid group and substitution of the direct interaction of a Chlorine atom. Trichloroacetic acid is used to treat skin problems such as acne, wrinkles, rough skin, sun-damaged facial skin, crow’s feet around the eyes, age spots, chicken pox, superficial scars, and some cancerous growth of skin cancer. A Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) chemical peel removes the top layer of the skin to stimulate natural growth, produce collagen, and elastin for giving a clear and bright glow to the skin. Acute inhalation of chloroacetic acid may irritate or damage skin, eyes, respiratory tract, and mucous membranes. However, Environmental Protection Agency has not classified chloroacetic acid for potential carcinogenicity.
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Several countries were forced to go into lockdown, owing to the pandemic scenario, which led to the shutdown of manufacturing facilities of almost every industry globally for a specified time. The herbicide and laundry agents, which are the major end users of chloroacetic acid suffered hugely due to the pandemic. Large-scale manufacturing interruptions across Europe and the closure of assembly plants in the U.S. significantly impacted the global chloroacetic acid market.

Key Trends and Analysis of the Global Chloroacetic Acid Market:
Among regions, Asia Pacific accounted for a significant market share of 37% in 2021. This is owing to the increasing demand for chloroacetic acid from the agrochemical sector in Asia Pacific. In the agrochemical industry, chloroacetic acid is used for the production of pesticides such as 2,4-D acids (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), dimethoate, CAC (chloroacetyl chloride), TCAC (trichloroacetyl chloride), 2,4,5-T acid (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid), MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid), and glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine). The necessity of high production within limited land in the region to cater to demand from the increasing population is boosting demand for agrochemicals in Asia Pacific.
Key Takeaways of the Global Chloroacetic Acid Market:
According to Coherent Market Insights 2021, among product type, the monochloroacetic acid segment held the largest revenue share of 75.3% in the global chloroacetic acid market in 2021. Monochloroacetic acid (MCA) is used for the production of surfactants such as mild betaine amphoteric surfactants and thioglycolic acid. Thus, thioglycolic acid and its derivatives are used as additives in the production of cosmetics including hair cosmetics. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration in 2020, Mexico cosmetics industry market was valued at US$ 6.97 billion in 2019 and it was expected to reach US$ 7.39 billion in 2021. In Mexico, the demand for hair cosmetics is increasing due to the increasing adoption of grooming products by men.
