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.
