The global Epichlorohydrin market stood at approximately 2000 thousand tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.39% during the forecast period until 2030. Recently, Meghmani Finechem, one of the leading producers of Chlor-Alkali, commissioned a new plant of Epichlorohydrin at Dahej, Gujarat, India. This plant is anticipated to have an annual capacity of 50 thousand tonnes. The project is estimated to have worth INR 275 crore.

Epichlorohydrin is an epoxide and an organochlorine substance. It is a white liquid with a strong garlic-like odour. This compound is miscible with most of the polar organic solvents but only moderately soluble in water. There are three main ways to synthesize Epichlorohydrin- allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and glycerine route. However, chlorination of Propylene Acetate is the conventional method and most widely used one. The niche applications of epichlorohydrin are for the production of epoxies, fabrics, paper goods, dyes, pigments, automobile and aviation parts, biocides, cosmetic, and ion-exchange resins.

The primary market driver of the global Epichlorohydrin market industry is the Paints & Coatings industry which is utilized in industries like architecture, vehicle, aviation, and other significant industries. Additionally, its usage to manufacture epoxies which are also frequently utilized in flooring because they offer excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, wear resistance, and slip resistance, is also a significant market driver. Owing to rising construction projects, the demand of paints, coatings and epoxies are bound to hike up, which is anticipated to propel the Epichlorohydrin market in coming years. The global Epichlorohydrin market is anticipated to reach approximately 3200 thousand tonnes by 2030.

Asia Pacific is the dominating all over the world with the highest demand of Epichlorohydrin. This region accounted a market share of about 55% of the global Epichlorohydrin market in 2021. Market growth is anticipated through 2030 in countries like India, China and Japan as a result of the rising modernization, industrialization, and continuous construction projects with the additional funds from government. The second-largest market for epichlorohydrin is in Europe. Moreover, the rise in petroleum refining activities coupled with increasing demand for epoxy resins is also expected to propel market growth in these regions. China is the giant for the manufacture of Epichlorohydrin due to abundance of raw material to produce the chemical.

Based on the end-user industry, the Epichlorohydrin market is segmented into sectors such as Paints & Coatings, Electrical & Electronics, Adhesives, Water Treatment Chemicals, and Elastomers, Textiles, Paper Industries, Ion Exchange Resins & Others. Among these, Paints & Coatings industry is leading segment and accounted around 40% of the share of total Epichlorohydrin demand in 2021. This industry is anticipated to dominate the global Epichlorohydrin market owing to the growing demand of paints and varnishes with the industrial activities and construction sector. Additionally, Electrical & Electronics industry also hold noticeable market shares.
