Reports Description
Global Methylene Chloride Market was valued at USD 24.4 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 39.9 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 5.08% during the forecast period 2023 – 2032.
Methylene Chloride is a volatile, colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odour. It is also called dichloromethane. Methylene chloride is used in various applications such as paint stripping, pharmaceutical manufacturing, paint remover manufacturing, and metal cleaning and degreasing.
Methylene chloride is miscible with a variety of solvents. Its volatility makes it useful as a solvent in various chemical processes. Methylene chloride is the least toxic compound of the simple chlorohydrocarbons and is not flammable. It is even used in the food industry to decaffeinate coffee and tea.
Methylene Chloride Market: Growth Factors
Growing Usage of Methylene Chloride in Construction Industry
Methylene chloride is used as solvent in the manufacturing of various construction chemicals, paints strippers and adhesives.
Construction Industry across the developing and developed economies such as China, India, Japan, ASEAN, U.S., Canada, Germany and France is expanding rapidly due to increasing population and rapid urbanization, which in turn propelling the demand for construction products, thereby driving the market growth of Methylene Chloride.
For instance, according to the government of India’s National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, the construction Industry in India is expected to reach USD 1.4 Trillion by 2025. An estimated 600 Mn people are likely to be living in urban centres by 2030, creating a demand for 25 Mn additional mid-end and affordable units.
China’s 14th Five-Year Plan is encouraging new infrastructure projects in transportation, energy, water systems, and new urbanization. According to estimates, through this overall the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) Government of China is aiming to invest USD 4.2 trillion in new infrastructure.
The new plan also calls for the retrofitting of over 350 million square meters of buildings and the construction of over 50 million square meters of net zero energy consumption buildings. Thus, such a rapidly expanding construction industry is expected to increase the demand for paint strippers, adhesives and construction chemicals thereby driving the market growth of global methylene chloride during the forecast period.
Increasing Usage of Methylene Chloride in Various End Use Industries
Methylene Chloride finds applications in many end use applications such as pharmaceutical production, paint remover, and metal cleaning and degreasing. Methylene dichloride paint removers are capable of removing many kinds of coatings from a range of surfaces.
Methylene chloride is a colourless liquid which has a sweet, penetrating, ether-like smell. It is a volatile liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon. Due to such versatile properties, Methylene chloride is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an aerosol spray propellant, and as a blowing agent for polyurethane foams.
In the transportation industry, Methylene chloride is used to degrease metal surfaces and parts, such as airplane components and railroad tracks and equipment. Various lubricating and degreasing products such as gasket removal contain methylene chloride.
Automotive specialists use a vapour methylene chloride degreasing process to remove oils and grease from car transistor parts, diesel motors and aircraft components and spacecraft assemblies. Modern vapour degreasing techniques that rely on methylene chloride enable metal parts in transportation systems to be cleaned quickly and safely.
Thus, the growing usage of methylene chloride in above mentioned applications is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
Methylene Chloride Market: Restraints
Despite of various advantages and benefits of Methylene Chloride, many factors are restraining the market growth of Methylene Chloride. Factors such as Stringent regulations about the usage of Methylene Chloride, fluctuation in raw material prices, and easy availability of substitutes, are restraining the market growth.
Governments across the globe are implementing stringent regulations about Methylene Chloride production, transportation and usage. Concerns regarding the toxicity of methylene chloride is a major factor restraining consumption in certain applications.
Methylene chloride exposure and excessive consumption can have adverse effects on human health including liver toxicity, neurotoxicity, and cancer risks.
Regulatory authorities have imposed stringent regulations on the usage of methylene chloride in pharmaceutical, electronics cleaning, and other applications where it directly contacts humans. These regulations are restraining the market growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, the lack of universal directives about the usage and production of methylene chloride is also reducing the production and consumption of methylene chloride. Every country has different directives about the usage and production of methylene chloride.
Methylene Chloride manufacturers are finding it very difficult to cope with such country wide regulations, which in turn discourage the investment in market, thereby restraining market growth.
Methylene Chloride Market: Opportunities
Growing Usage of Methylene Chloride in Food and Beverages Applications
Increasing usage of methylene chloride in food and beverage applications is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Methylene chloride is used as an extraction solvent in the food and beverage manufacturing industry. Methylene chloride is used to decaffeinate tea and coffee in the food & beverage sector.
For example, methylene chloride can be used to remove caffeine from unroasted coffee beans and tea leaves, to make decaffeinated coffee and tea.
Furthermore, Methylene chloride also is used in processing spices, creating hops extract for beer and other flavourings for the food and beverage industries. The FDA has established limits on the amounts of methylene chloride that can remain in these food products.
Thus, the growing usage of methylene chloride in food and beverage applications is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
