Global Chloroacetyl Chloride Market - Growth Drivers
- Growing demand for chloroacetyl chloride
Growing demand for chloroacetyl chloride as acylating agent for the production of intermediates chemicals is expected to fuel the market growth of chloroacetyl chloride. Acylation reactions are used generally used to produce organic chemicals that have a wide range of chemical and biological applications. Acylation reactions are mainly used for the manufacturing of industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical products in which protein assembly is important. Therefore, rising demand for chloroacetyl chloride as an acylating agent as an intermediate is expected to fuel the market growth.
Global Chloroacetyl Chloride Market - Market Opportunities
- Growing usage of chloroacetyl chloride for manufacturing cellulose-derived products
Growing usage of chloroacetyl chloride for manufacturing cellulose-derived products is expected to fuel the market growth of chloroacetyl chloride. Chloroacetyl chloride is used as the precursor of cellulose-derived products and the reaction of chloroacetyl cellulose with other groups produces highly substituted cellulose derivatives. Cellulose-derivative product is widely used across films, water-resistant coatings for medicines, removable coatings for photographic films, and photo-bactericidal plastic films. Hence, the rising usage of chloroacetyl chloride for the production of cellulose-derived products is expected to offer new room for a growth opportunity to the market of chloroacetyl chloride.
Global Chloroacetyl Chloride Market -Market Restraints
- Chloroacetyl chloride is claimed to have few side effects on human health
Chloroacetyl chloride has little side effects on human health when it comes to breathing. These include eye irritation, skin problems, nose and throat discomfort, and coughing. Moreover, higher exposure can also lead to an accumulation of fluid in the lungs and that can ultimately result in breathing problems. Therefore, the aforementioned side effects associated with exposure to chloroacetyl chloride are expected to curb the market growth over the forecast timeframe.

Key Takeaways
Among manufacturing process, the chlorination of acetyl chloride segment contributed to the substantial share of 37.3% in the global chloroacetyl chloride market in 2025, reporting US$ XXX million in terms of revenue. The chlorination of the acetyl chloride process is followed by the oxidation of 1, 1-dichloroethylene process, in terms of revenue share.
Market Trends
Increasing investment by major players to enhance the production of chloroacetyl chloride is expected to boost the market growth of chloroacetyl chloride over the forecast timeframe. For instance, in November 2025, Anjaniya Industries has announced to set up a chemicals unit in Meghnagar in Jhabhua district in Madhya Pradesh. The project involves setting up of manufacturing facility to produce specialty chemicals like Chloro Acetyl Chloride (150 mtpm), Mono Chloro Acetic Acid (100 mtpm) and Hydrochloric Acid (30%) (300 mtpm) as a by-product.
Increasing exports of plastic products is another major trend that is expected to propel the demand for chloroacetyl chloride as it is used in the production of plastic film. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, from April-October 2025, top five importers of Indian plastic products were China (US$ 553.42 million), U.S. (US$ 234.76 million), Italy (US$ 188.31 million), Bangladesh PR (US$ 168.33 million) and UAE (US$ 159.02 million).
