Global Dichloroethane demand stood at 7.14 Million Tonnes in 2022 and is forecast to reach 10.26 Million Tonnes by 2032, growing at a healthy CAGR of 4.14% until 2032.

Dichloroethane also known as ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is highly flammable, toxic, and carcinogenic. The major applications of dichloroethane are vinyl chloride monomer, tetraethylenepentamine, and others. Vinyl chloride monomer is the major application of dichloroethane is the precursor to polyvinyl chloride. Major end-use industries for dichloroethane are construction, automotive, electricals, and electronics. Growing demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from construction and automotive coupled with the increasing demand of other application areas is expected to drive the demand for dichloroethane for the forecast period. Moreover, stringent environmental regulations regarding dichloroethane are expected to hinder demand growth during the forecast period.

In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 in major global economies caused nationwide lockdowns which had an impact on several industries. Construction and automotive were among the most affected industries during the pandemic. This had an impact on the demand for dichloroethane in 2020. Therefore, the demand for dichloroethane fell during the coronavirus pandemic.

Region-wise, Asia-pacific region holds the major share of global demand for dichloroethane due to the increasing demand of application areas including construction and automotive. Moreover, continuous revamping of infrastructure in disaster-prone countries like Japan and South Korea is also another factor propelling the demand for dichloroethane. Increasing population and subsequent rise in per capita income in emerging economies like India and China is also another factor supporting demand rise in Asia-pacific.
