Increasing Demand for Pesticides and Fertilizers to Augment the Chloroacetyl Chloride Market Growth

Chloroacetyl Chloride Market


Chloroacetyl chloride is an organic compound derived from the chlorination process of acetyl chloride with strong aliphatic acids. It is widely used as an intermediate in the production of various pesticides such as butachlor, alachlor, acetochlor, and metolachlor; around 100 million pounds annually. It is also used to produce phenacyl chloride and also used as tear gas. Moreover, chloroacetyl chloride is used in the preparation of various pharmaceutical formulations. It is also used as an intermediate in several important chemical products.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing food demand due to the increasing population worldwide, as well as increasing demand for pesticides and fertilizers in farming to increase crop production and meet the rising demand for food, is expected to propel the growth of the chloroacetyl chloride market. For instance, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, overall food production needs to increase by 70% from 2005/07 to 2050 to sustain a population of 9.1 billion. Moreover, growing usage of herbicides such as alachlor, butachlor, and acetochlor to increase crop production of sorghum, soybean, and corn is also expected to fuel the growth of the chloroacetyl chloride market.

Expanding pharmaceutical and agriculture industry, especially in the Asia Pacific, is expected to augment the growth of the chloroacetyl chloride market. For instance, India is the largest provider of generic drugs globally, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF).

However, growing adoption of biodegradable pesticides/herbicides, ban on pesticides, and stringent health/environmental regulations are expected to restrain the chloroacetyl chloride market. For instance, in May 2020, The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare (the Government of India) banned the use of 27 insecticides and pesticides in the country.

Competitive Analysis:

Major players operating in the chloroacetyl chloride market are YiDu Jovian Industry CO., Zouping Qili Additives Co., Chengwu Chenhui Environmental Protection Technology Co., Taixing Shenlong Chemical Co., Triveni Chemicals, Transpek Industry Limited, Shiva Pharmachem Ltd, CABB, ALTIVIA Petrochemicals Corporation, and Daicel Corporation.

Major players in the market are involved in different business strategies, such as business expansion, to enhance their market share or to strengthen their product portfolio. For instance, in 2019, ALTIVIA Petrochemicals Corp. announced the completion of a new multipurpose production unit at its Phosgene Derivatives Unit at La Porte, Texas. This new facility will result in a 30% increase in capacity for the production of acid chlorides and chloroformates.

  Meningococcal vaccines prevent the contraction of meningococcal diseases, including meningitis caused by the bacteria called meningococcus aureus. An outbreak of meningococcal disease is usually followed by an onset of meningitis. Meningococcal meningitis can cause permanent damage to the brain or spinal cord in as little as 10 days, depending on the degree of infection and the natural immunity of the person. Since meningitis is usually associated with a fever and signs and symptoms of a serious illness, many parents prefer not to use the traditional treatments for their children such as meningitis or oral antibiotics. Instead, they often resort to various forms of therapeutic interventions that may even improve their chances of developing a positive outcome. Meningococcal vaccines are now available for meningococcal meningitis, as well as for men who have had other prior bouts of meningitis. Some vaccines used for these purposes are PPSV, Rallo, and Q fever type 1. These vaccines
