Global Thionyl Chloride Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Thionyl Chloride market size was valued at US$ 289 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 353 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 2.9% during review period.

Thionyl chloride，also known as sulfur oxychloride. It is a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, and with a pungent odor. Thionyl chloride dissolved in benzene, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. It is an important inorganic chemical product.

Thionyl chloride is a broad-spectrum chlorinating agent with excellent performance. Traditional application areas include medicine, pesticides, and dyes. Emerging application areas are mainly sucralose and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide.

Sucralose is a new generation of sweeteners, made from sucrose as raw material through chlorination. Its sweetness is 600 times that of sucrose, with pure sweetness and extremely low caloric value (can be regarded as 0). It will not cause obesity or blood sugar fluctuations. It can be used by diabetics, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the elderly. It is currently recognized as a strong sweetener in the world.

Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) is mainly used as an electrolyte additive for lithium-ion batteries. It can effectively reduce the high and low temperature resistance of the SEI layer formed on the surface of the electrode plate at low temperatures, reduce the capacity loss of lithium batteries during storage, and thus improve the battery capacity and electrochemical performance.

The emerging application of thionyl chloride will promote the industry to grow further.

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of thionyl chloride. The production capacity will exceed 500,000 tons in 2023. Currently, Kaisheng New Materials has a production capacity of 150,000 tons and is the world's largest producer of thionyl chloride.
