ALLYL CHLORIDE MARKET Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

ALLYL CHLORIDE MARKET Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The Allyl Chloride Market size is expected to grow from 0.92 million tons in 2023 to 1.08 million tons by 2028, at a CAGR of 3.30% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, nationwide lockdowns around the world, disruption in manufacturing activities and supply chains, and production halts negatively impacted the market in 2020. However, the conditions started recovering in 2021, restoring the market's growth trajectory.

Key Highlights

• The primary factor driving the market is the increasing use of allyl chloride derivatives in several applications and the increased demand for epoxy resins in different industrial applications.
• On the flip side, stringent government regulations are expected to hinder market growth.
• The emergence of various allyl chloride polymers and copolymers as plasticizers and emulsifiers is expected to act as opportunity for the market studied.
• Asia-Pacific region represents the largest market and is expected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period owing to the consumption from countries such as China, South Korea, India, and Japan.

Allyl Chloride Market Trends

Increasing Use of Allyl Chloride in Epichlorohydrin Production

• The key demand for allyl chloride is from epichlorohydrin production. Allyl chloride is transformed into epichlorohydrin by the epoxidation process or by reacting allyl chloride with hypochlorous acid.
• The primary use of Epichlorohydrin is in the production of epoxy resins which is used in coatings, adhesives, and plastics. It is also used to manufacture synthetic glycerine, textiles, paper, inks and dyes, solvents, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals.
• According to AstraZeneca, by 2024, the United States is projected to spend between USD 605 to 635 billion on medicines. This will make the country achieve the highest pharmaceutical spending by far.
• Further, as per the annual report of AstraZeneca, Latin America and the Indian Subcontinent are projected for the highest growth rates in the pharmaceutical market till 2025, with 12.6% and 10.9% respectively.
• The data published by INEGI further indicated positive growth trends in pharmaceutical production activities. Mexico's gross pharmaceutical production was valued at USD 8.67 billion in 2021, registering a fifth consecutive rise year-on-year and a 15% increment from the gross production value assessed in previous year.
• Europe is the homeland of the pharmaceutical industry. The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association (EFPIA) represents a sizable proportion of Europe's drug manufacturers. It currently includes 36 national pharmaceutical associations and 39 of Europe's leading pharmaceutical companies. In Europe, Germany holds the largest healthcare market. With demographic changes and digitalization, the country has been investing in a mobile healthcare facility, which is providing a platform for the further expansion of the German healthcare sector.
• Hence, owing to the aforementioned factors, the allyl chloride application for epichlorohydrin production is likely to dominate during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

• Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR because of rapid expansion and consumption in pharmaceutical and industrial applications from countries like China, South Korea, Japan, and India. Further, increasing demand for polymers, plastics, and other chemicals from these countries is driving the demand for allyl chloride.
• According to statistics, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in China is anticipated to grow by about 17% year-on-year in 2022. Digestive and metabolic drugs account for around 14% of the total pharmaceutical market of the country.
• Further, China's 14th Five-Year Plan beholds broad insights for China's pharmaceutical industries in the wake of the rising incidences of non-communicable diseases and the increasing aging population. The devised plan targets boosting domestic pharmaceutical production along with promoting high-quality industrial production compliant with regulatory monitoring, adopting Chinese traditional medicines in new innovations, and reaching global standards of vaccine regulations.
• As per the data revealed by the All Indian Origin Chemists and Distributors, the sales of the Indian pharmaceutical industry delivered a healthy growth of 17.3% y-o-y in November 2022 and 10.4% y-o-y in December 2022. In December 2022, the production volume registered 1.5% y-o-y growth while prices of the pharma products climbed 6.8%. The growth figures in the pharmaceutical industry during the remaining three months of FY 2022-23 are expected to stay up by 9-10% and are in line with the average growth rate of 9.1% y-o-y in the first nine months of FY 2022-23.
• Due to the factors above, the region's demand for allyl chloride is expected to increase during the forecast period.
