Methyl And Ethyl Chloroacetate Market
Methyl & Ethyl Chloroacetate Market – Insights
Methyl chloroacetate is a lachrymatory, colorless liquid with a pungent odor, and is used as an intermediate for dyestuff, medicines, and pesticides. The advantages offered by methyl chloroacetate include precise pH value, excellent purity, accurate composition, and longer shelf life.
Ethyl chloroacetate is a water-white liquid with a strong, fruity odor, and is used in the process of manufacturing dyes, chemical compounds, and other applications. The advantages offered by ethyl chloroacetate include balanced composition, stable chemical and physical properties, and optimum purity.
Methyl & ethyl chloroacetate is used in end-use industries such as personal care, pharmaceutical, and agriculture. Increasing population and food demand is driving the growth of agriculture industry, which in turn is predicted to boost demand for methyl & ethyl chloroacetate market from the agriculture industry in the near future.
Growth of the food industry in Africa has accelerated demand for herbicides and pesticides. For instance, according to World Bank Statistics, Africa food market was valued at US$ 300 billion in 2017, and is expected to reach revenue of US$ 1 trillion by the end of 2030.
Nevertheless, stringent regulations imposed by government agencies is expected to hinder the market growth in the coming years. Methyl chloroacetate is crystalline solid or solid which is dissolved in a liquid, and acute contact with it may cause serious damage to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Methyl chloroacetate is used in the manufacturing process of chemicals, however it poses occupational hazards due to its toxicity content. These factors are expected to hamper growth of the global methyl & ethyl chloroacetate market.
The global methyl & ethyl chloroacetate market was valued at US$ 760.6 Mn in 2018, and is expected to register a CAGR of 7.9% in terms of revenue over the forecast period (2019-2027), to reach US$ 1,562.8 Mn by 2027.
