Grignard reagents are highly reactive compound with chemical formula R-Mg-X. It belongs to the organometallic compounds and finds extensive applications in the synthesis of various chemicals. Moreover, in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce various drugs for curing prolonged diseases. Pharmaceuticals, packaging, flavours and fragrances, agrochemicals, and research &developments center are some of the major end-user of the Grignard reagents.
NAFTA and Europe Grignard Reagents market is projected to reach around US$ 4,427.8 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
Drivers
Growing demand for eco-friendly Grignard reagents due to strict environmental regulations is primarily fueling the market growth of the NAFTA and Europe Grignard reagents. According to the Coherent Market Insights analysis, Rieke metals, LLC., an American Grignard reagent manufacturer, produces over 30 Grignard and organozinc reagent chemicals in its naturally derived 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF).
An increasing number of the manufacturer that produces Grignard reagents are further expected to augment the market growth. According to the Coherent Market Insights analysis, Albemarle Corporation, GFS Chemicals, Pentagon Chemicals, Weylchem international GmbH, and Boulder Scientific Company are among the top producers of Grignard reagents in the NAFTA and Europe region. These companies, collectively, are estimated to hold around 11%-13% market share in the NAFTA and Europe Grignard reagent market.
Market Restraints
Due to the highly strong and unstable nature of the Grignard reagents, extreme care and well-experienced expertise are required during the chemical reactions. This factor is expected to restrict the market growth of the NAFTA and Europe Grignard reagent.

Coronavirus Impact on Grignard Reagents Market
The Grignard reagents find application in various end-use industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals, Flavors & Fragrances, Packaging, and Research. Except for its application in the pharmaceutical industry, Covid-19 has reduced the demand for Grignard reagents across other industry verticals. The lowest demand has been estimated from the flavors & fragrances industries. Low consumer spending on non-essential items is expected to reduce demand for flavors & fragrances. If the pandemic lasts for a medium or long span of time, it may impact supply of active materials and ingredients, mainly from China, as well as import and export of pharmaceuticals. According to Coherent Market Insights, the Grignard reagents market is expected to grow at a slightly lower CAGR between 2020 and 2021.
