The Asia Pacific Epichlorohydrin Market would witness market growth of 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2021, the Asia Pacific market’s volume surged to 520.99 kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 3.7% (2019-2022).
Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is a crucial industrial chemical vital in various applications across diverse sectors. It is an organochlorine compound produced through the reaction of chlorine, propylene, and caustic soda. The versatile nature of epichlorohydrin makes it a key component in manufacturing epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin, and elastomers. Economic growth in emerging nations will lead to expanding the consumption of epoxy resin in building and construction sectors, paints and coatings, and automotive. As a result of increased employment opportunities, the rise in private and public non-residential spending is enhancing the development prospects for epoxy resins, thus benefiting the market.
Primarily, epichlorohydrin manufacturing uses propylene as a raw material. The rising penetration of bio-based products has forced manufacturers to use glycerin-based starting materials. Many corporations, including Dow Chemical Company, and Samsung Fine Chemical, have initiated the production of ECH using renewable feedstock glycerin. Historically, the production of epichlorohydrin involved a complex series of steps, with propylene serving as the initial constituent. The increased production of raw glycerin, a byproduct of biodiesel production, in conjunction with the volatile price of propylene, has sparked greater interest in processes that utilize glycerol as a raw material.
The chemical industry in Asia Pacific is diverse, with epichlorohydrin finding applications in producing various chemicals. The growth of the chemical sector contributes to the overall demand for epichlorohydrin. Various governments in the Asia Pacific region are investing heavily in infrastructure development projects. The aforementioned factors will drive the market growth in this region.
