India Ethylene Dichloride Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, FY2015-FY2030

India Ethylene Dichloride market is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.58% by FY2030. Increasing the use of Ethylene Dichloride in the manufacturing of Vinyl Chloride monomer, Ethylene Amines and Vinylidene Chloride is anticipated to fuel the demand for Ethylene Dichloride in India.

Ethylene dichloride (EDC) also called as 1,2- Dichloroethane. 1,2- Dichloroethane (EDC) is an odourless liquid that resembles chloroform. This chlorinated hydrocarbon called dichloroethane is typically used to create vinyl chloride monomer, the main precursor to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Iron (III) chloride is used as a catalyst to catalyze the reaction between ethane and chlorine for the industrial synthesis of ethylene dichloride. By producing vinyl chloride monomer using ethylene dichloride, hydrogen chloride is also created as a byproduct. It serves a variety of extraction and cleaning functions in closed systems solvents used for organic synthesis. As a lead scavenger, it is also added to gasoline that contains lead. Moreover, it serves as a wetting and penetrating agent, a dispersion agent in rubber and plastics.

The increasing demand for Ethylene Dichloride to produce VCM which is further integrated to produce Polyvinyl chloride. PVC derived pipes, wire & cables, profiles and tubes, films and sheets is expected to drive India Ethylene Dichloride market during the forecast years. Additionally, the surging demand for PVC pipes is backed up by its extensive usage in the agriculture sector for water supply, drainage, and irrigation, due to its enhanced properties such as corrosion resistance and easy mouldability. The use of PVC derived products is also gaining popularity in automotive, packaging and agriculture industries, which further contributes to the Ethylene Dichloride market. Also, it is anticipated that over the course of the projection period, a rise in the use of pipes and fittings would further fuel market expansion.

Based on region, India Ethylene Dichloride Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In the historic period of FY2015-FY2023, West India has been dominating the market. In FY2022, West India consumed approximately 37% of the market. Owing to the large number of PVC production units available in western region, is likely to stay prominent in the forthcoming years.

Based on end-use, India Ethylene Dichloride Market is divided into Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Production, Ethylene Amines, and Others. As of FY2023, Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) Production is dominating the EPS market with a share of 95%. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a highly stable, non-flammable, lightweight, and resilient plastic, is largely produced using the VCM monomer.

Major players operating in India Ethylene Dichloride market include Reliance Industries, Chemplast Sanmar Limited and DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd. While some major global players are Formosa Plastics, Westlake Chemical, INOVYN, Shintech, OxyVinyls, Olin Corporation, VYNOVA, OxyMar, LG Chem, Dow, Shin-Etsu, SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation), and Others.
