Global Chloroacetic Acid (Monochloroacetic Acid) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Chloroacetic Acid (Monochloroacetic Acid) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 728 million in 2025 to US$ 912 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2031.

Chloroacetic acid, also called Chloroacetic acid (MCA), is a bi-functional molecule-structured acid. At room temperature, pure MCA is a colorless, deliquescent crystalline mass. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, diethyl ether and acetone. It is extensively used as a chemical intermediate for the production of numerous industrially and commercially important chemicals, including glycine, CMC, TGA, and cyanoacetic acid. It is also used in the production of betaine-type surfactants, synthetic caffeine, and vitamins, and the production of 2, 4-D and methanoates for using in herbicides. MCA is commercially produced through the chlorination of acetic acid during the production of acetic anhydride as a catalyst. MCA is marketed in various forms: as a solid (powder or flakes), in molten form (kept at a temperature > 80°C) or as 80% dilution in water. For these forms of packaging, exposure estimates are made.

Global Chloroacetic Acid (Monochloroacetic Acid) key players include AkzoNobel, CABB, Tiande Chemical, China Pingmei Shenma Group, Denak, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share about 45%. China is the largest market, with a share about 55%, followed by Europe, with a share about 20 percent. In terms of product, Solid MCA is the largest segment, with a share about 70%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), followed by Agrochemical, Thioglycolic Acid (TGA), Surfactants, etc.
