Global Chloroacetyl Chloride Market Accounted for a Value
Share of US$ 382.9 Mn in 2015, Characterized by
Increasing Growth in the Pharmaceutical Sector
Persistence Market Research delivers key insights on the global chloroacetyl chloride

market in a new report titled “Chloroacetyl Chloride Market: Global Industry Analysis and
Forecast, 2016–2024”. Global sales of chloroacetyl chloride is estimated to be valued at US$
403.1 Mn by 2016 end, witnessing a Y-o-Y growth of 5.3% over 2015. Asia Pacific is estimated

M a r k e t

to account for a market value share of 39.5% in the global chloroacetyl chloride market by 2016
end and is anticipated to remain dominant throughout the forecast period (2016 – 2024).
Fixed arable land and shortage of agricultural workers is expected to increase the dependency
on chemical fertilizers/pesticides to increase crop production and meet the rising global demand
for food. Thus, the demand for herbicides to increase crop productivity is expected to drive the
demand for chloroacetyl chloride over the forecast period and boost the growth of the global
chloroacetyl chloride market. The use of chloroacetyl chloride in the production of active
pharmaceutical ingredients and as an acylating agent in various reactions is expected to
increase over the forecast period and fuel overall growth of the global chloroacetyl chloride

On the basis of manufacturing process, the global chloroacetyl chloride market can be
segmented into chlorination of acetyl chloride, oxidation of 1,1-dichloroethylene, and others. The
others segment is expected to witness a significant growth over the forecast period. This is
mainly attributed to the development of new processes. Reaction of chloroacetic acid with
chlorinating agents such as phosgene and phosphoms trichloride is expected to augment the
share of the others segment over the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the global chloroacetyl chloride market can be segmented into
herbicides, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and chemical production. The herbicides segment
is expected to witness stagnant growth over the forecast period due to a ban in Europe as well
as few other countries on the use of alachlor and butachlor herbicides that are made from
chloroacetyl chloride. However, use of chloroacetyl chloride as an intermediate in other
