The global Monochloroacetic Acid Market estimated at US$786.8 Million in the year 2021, is projected to reach a revised size of US$918.9 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% over the analysis period 2021-2030.
Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA), also known as chloroacetic acid, is a specialty organochlorine compound. It is colorless, crystalline structured mass, highly soluble in water. The global monochloroacetic acid industry is primarily driven by the rising demand for agrochemicals in the major agricultural countries such as India, Brazil, China, and others. Lack of cultivable land and infertility of soil are the major drivers of the global monochloroacetic acid industry. Furthermore, monochloroacetic acid is used in the production of carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), which is required in bulk for oil drilling activities such as a viscosity modifier and water retention agent, which is likely to drive the market growth over the assessment period. Additionally, the product holds a vital place in the pharmaceutical industry and is used for producing drugs such as maleates, ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, n-glycine, and others. The product is also used as a thickening agent and offers proper texture to the cosmetics and personal care products. The increasing demand for cosmetic & personal care products across the globe due to increasing awareness amongst the consumer is expected to fuel the market growth further. Moreover, the product is used in the processing of PVC resins, which is likely to propel the product demand in the plastic industry. However, fluctuations in raw material prices may challenge the market growth over the assessment period. Depletion of oil & gas reserves is another concern that may restrain the market growth.
