Monochloroacetic Acid Market by Product Form (Crystalline, Liquid, And Flakes), Application (CMC, Agrochemicals, Surfactants, TGA), and Region (North America, APAC, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America) - Global Forecast to 2022
Monochloroacetic Acid Market Size And Forecast
[105 Pages Report] MCA, also known as chloroacetic acid, is a strong acid, mainly used as an intermediate in industrial processes for the production of CMC, herbicides, and surfactants. MCA is produced through catalytic chlorination of acetic acid with acetic anhydride as the catalyst. It is colorless, hygroscopic, and crystalline. Major applications include CMC, herbicides & pesticides such as 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), surfactants, TGA, and others. It is available in three forms, namely, crystalline, liquid, and flakes
The market size of MCA in 2016 was USD 733.4 million and is projected to reach USD 908.9 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.6%. CMC is the largest application of MCA that accounted for a share of 49.3%, in terms of value, in 2016. The MCA market size was 800.1 kilotons in 2016, with a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. The market in this segment is projected to register a CAGR of 3.3% between 2017 and 2022. Surfactants are the fastest-growing application segment of MCA, which is projected to register a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period.
”CMC application to lead the MCA market between 2017 and 2022”
Surfactants are the fastest-growing application of MCA owing to its increasing use in detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants, which are used in several personal care products. The increasing disposable income and a better standard of living of consumers in emerging economies play a pivotal role in the growth of the personal care industry, which, in turn, drives the demand for surfactants. CMC is the largest application of MCA owing to its use in various end-use industries such as oil & gas, construction, textile, paints & coatings, food & beverage, and several others.
Crystalline form to lead the MARKET between 2017 and 2022”
Crystalline product form accounted for the largest market share in 2016, in terms of value. The high market size is attributed to the low cost and easy production process of a crystalline form. The demand for liquid product form is increasing globally, owing to its easy miscibility as an intermediate and efficient operation.
“APAC to be the largest and fastest-growing market DURING the forecast period”
APAC is the largest market, which accounted for a share of 29.7% in 2016, in terms of value. The market growth is primarily attributed to the growth in population, increasing demand for MCA in the formulation of CMC, agrochemicals, and surfactants, which are used in the industries such as building & construction, and agriculture. The market growth in this region is also attributed to higher growth prospects in the personal care applications. According to the World Bank, Eastern Asia and Pacific regions together witnessed approximately two-fifths of the personal care product consumption, in 2015, which was more than twice the combined contribution by other developing regions. This has indicated the growth potential in this region. Globally, China is expected to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing Demand for agrochemicals
The demand for agrochemicals is increasing due to the growing population. As per the United Nations, the amount of food required by 2050 will be 70% more than the current requirement. In emerging economies such as China and India, growing population and greater economic prosperity will further drive food production. In India, the population is projected to rise to 9.3 billion by 2050 which will lead to increased food demand and hence will increase the use of crop protection chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides. Crop protection chemicals safeguard crops and ensure higher yield. The demand for crop protection chemicals is high in APAC and Latin American countries. In addition, the development of environment-friendly crop protection chemicals due to the environment-related restrictions issued by various agencies such as EPA and European Environment Agency in developed countries such as the US and the UK will also drive the market for MCA.
Opportunity: High Demand from the construction industry of emerging economies
Emerging economies such as China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and others are some of the major markets for MCA. The growing infrastructural development and rapid urbanization in emerging economies are encouraging the rise in demand for CMC and surfactants, thus, boosting the demand for MCA.
China among other emerging economies is the largest construction market. In 2016, China’s construction industry grew at 17%, a 5% increase from 2015. This growth was augmented by policy changes such as strong fiscal stimulus for infrastructure investments and easing of real estate regulations, purchase criteria, and credit availability which resulted in the growth of the domestic real estate market. Infrastructure investment will further improve, driven by mandates to meet regional development plans, initiatives such as “Belt and Road” and development of smart cities which will include optimization of urban space through public transport, high-capacity infrastructure, mixed-use development, and green city planning. In India, the constant economic growth of around 7.5% driven by government initiatives such as FDI allowance, improved policy framework, and low commodity prices have provided a strong stimulus to the construction industry. Recent deregulations for the ease of doing business are attracting foreign investments. In addition, modernization of the construction industry also drives the MCA market.
Challenge: Harmful effects of MCA exposure
MCA is an acid and can cause eye and skin irritation upon contact. Diluted MCA causes skin irritation while concentrated MCA may cause skin corrosion and conjunctival burns. The toxicity by MCA causes inhibition of enzymes of the glycolytic pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle. This causes a metabolic blockage that damages organs with high energy demand such as heart, central nervous systems, kidneys, muscles, and also leads to the accumulation of lactic and citric acid in the body. Liquid and flakes forms of MCA are more corrosive than crystalline form. Proper handling and operation techniques are mandated while working with MCA.
