has applications in the pesticide industry, and spice production. Also, methylenecyclopropane
can be synthesized from methallyl chloride using an intramolecular cyclisation
process and a strong base such as sodium amide. Globally, the increasing usage
of methallyl chloride, in the formulation of medicines is driving the growth of
the market. Also, the rising growth of the pharmaceutical sector is uplifting
the demand for methallyl chloride. Additionally, rising product launches and
acquisitions are estimated to propel the global methallyl chloride industry
forward over the forecast period.
Report Coverage
The report " Global Methallyl Chloride Market
Report – Forecast (2022-2027)" by IndustryARC covers an in-depth
analysis of the following segments of the methallyl chloride industry.
Key Takeaways
- The APAC region dominated the global methallyl chloride market due to the huge government investments made in the pharmaceutical industries in emerging economies such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea.
- Essential oils can be extracted from spices such as ginger and thyme using methallyl chloride. This results to an increase in methyl chloride import and consumption demand, which has a direct impact on market earnings throughout the projection period.
- Furthermore, strict regulations pertaining to use of methallyl chloride will hinder the growth of the market in the forecast period.
- Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, packaging sector experienced a positive demand from the healthcare sector as well as e-commerce industry. Thus leading to the significant increase in demand for packaging and positively impacted the growth of the methallyl chloride industry.
Methallyl Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By Application
Pesticide held the largest share in the methallyl chloride market and is expected to continue its dominance over the period 2022-2027. Methallyl chloride is considered as an essential intermediate used in the production of pesticides such as carbofuran, ethalfluralin, and fenbutatin oxide. Owing to the alluring characteristics, such as methallyl chloride's colourless and highly flammable liquid and vapour with a pungent odor is widely used in the formulation of pesticide. Methallyl Chloride aids in the breakdown of plant cell walls by interfering with enzymes required for photosynthesis, resulting in the death of plants and controlling their growth rate. When bugs come into touch with the substance while spraying pesticides onto crops, they are killed through suffocation or poisoning. Thus, the increasing usage of methallyl chloride in pesticide would further drive the growth of the industry.
Methallyl Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
The agrochemicals sector dominated the methallyl chloride
market with more than 35% in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4%
during 2022-2027. Several studies and research papers have
shown that using methallyl chloride in agrochemicals such as pesticides can be
quite beneficial. It has the potential to increase farm productivity and
support good agricultural practices. Increasing investments for the production
of fertilizers has uplifted the demand for methallyl chloride. For instance, in
March 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a US$ 250
million investment to support innovative American-made fertilizer, giving US
farmers more market options. Additionally, as per India Brand Equity Foundation
(IBEF), India intends to be self-sufficient in total fertilizer output by 2023,
with the government building new manufacturing units to minimize reliance on
imports.
Methallyl Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global methallyl chloride market with a share of 37% in terms of value in the year 2021. The market in the region is witnessing expansion with the rising demand for methallyl chloride in several end-use sectors such as medical, food, packaging and others. Consumers' perceptions of a brand and the overall shopping experience are heavily influenced by packaging. Since it touches practically every industry segment, the packaging industry is one of India's fastest growing industries. Currently, rising growth of the packaging sector has uplifted the methallyl chloride industry. As per Invest India, The India Packaging Market was worth US$50.5 billion in 2019 and is predicted to reach US$204.81 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 26.7% between 2020 and 2025.
Methallyl Chloride Market Drivers
Increasing demand for methallyl in the medical sector.
Methallyl
chloride is utilized in the manufacture of a variety of pharmaceuticals. Generally,
it is a chemical substance that can be used to kill bacteria by either
destroying or preventing it from growing. Various compounds are mixed with methallyl
chloride to treat diseases such as leprosy, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and
malaria. Methallyl Chloride-containing medications assist & hinder bacterial
cells from performing essential life activities such as cell division and
protein production. This eventually causes microorganisms to die, resulting in
the successful cure of various disorders. Rising growth of the
pharmaceutical industry in emerging economies are driving the global methallyl
chloride market.
For instance, as per Invest India, the pharmaceutical business in India inclined
at a CAGR of 22.4% between 2015 and 2020 to reach US$ 55 billion. India's
pharmaceutical exports totaled US$ 17.27 billion in fiscal year 2018, which increased
to US$ 10.80 billion in fiscal year 2019. Also, according
to the International Trade Administration, in Japan the local production for
pharmaceuticals increased from USD 62,570 thousands in 2018 to USD
87,027 thousands in 2019. Additionally, in China, by 2030, the size of the pharmaceuticals industry is
expected to reach 16 trillion RMB (US$ 2.3 Million), according to the staff
research report on the "US-China Economic and Security Review
Commission." Furthermore, according to the European Federation of
Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), the total pharmaceutical
production was US$340,898.7 Million in 2020 from US$322,407.6 Million in 2019. Thus,
the growing pharmaceuticals industry will increase the demand for medicine and is
anticipated to drive the growth of the methallyl chloride market over the
forecast period.
Methallyl Chloride Market Challenges
Strict Regulations Associated with Methallyl Chloride
According to the risk phrases of
the United Nations, Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals, methallyl chloride is threatening if swallowed and
inhaled, and causes severe skin burns and eye damage, may cause an allergic skin
reaction, and is toxic to aquatic life with long-term effects. According to the
United States National Toxicology Program, methallyl chloride is
reasonably expected to be a human carcinogen based on substantial evidence of
carcinogenicity from experimental animal research. Also, methallyl
chloride has been identified as a chemical with some evidence of
carcinogenicity by the German Commission for the Investigation of Health
Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Environment. Thus, due
to such strict regulations the market for methallyl chloride is estimated to get
hindered over the projected period.
