Global dichloroethane demand is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.75%.
Dichloroethane also known as ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a colourless liquid with a chloroform like odor. It is highly flammable, toxic and carcinogenic. The major applications of dichloroethane are vinyl chloride monomer, tetraethylenepentamine, and others. Vinyl chloride monomer being the major application of dichloroethane is the precursor to poly vinyl chloride. Major end use industries for dichloroethane are construction, automotive, electricals and electronics. Growing demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from construction and automotive coupled with the increasing demand of other application areas is expected to drive the demand of dichloroethane for the forecast period. Moreover, stringent environment regulations regarding dichloroethane are expected to hinder demand growth during the forecast period.
In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 in major global economies caused nationwide lockdowns which had an impact on a number of industries. Construction and automotive were among the most affected industries during the pandemic. This had an impact on the demand of dichloroethane for the first half of 2020. Therefore, the demand for dichloroethane fell during the coronavirus pandemic.
Region wise, Asia pacific region holds the major share of global demand for dichloroethane due to increasing demand of application areas including construction and automotive. Moreover, continuous revamping of infrastructure in disaster prone countries like Japan and South Korea is also another factor propelling the demand for dichloroethane. Increasing population and subsequent rise in per capita income in emerging economies like India and China is also another factor supporting demand rise in Asia Pacific.
