The North America Chloromethane Market would witness market growth of 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2019, the North America market’s volume surged to 2,805.3 kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 3.4% (2019-2022).
Another key application lies in the refrigeration industry, where chloromethane is utilized as a refrigerant. Its low boiling point and favorable thermodynamic properties make it suitable for cooling systems, crucial in maintaining optimal temperatures in refrigeration units. The adoption of chloromethane in this context is influenced by its efficiency and safety, making it a preferred choice in the refrigeration sector. The agrochemical industry also leverages chloromethane in the production of pesticides and herbicides. As an intermediate in synthesizing these agricultural chemicals, chloromethane enhances crop yields and protects plants from pests, playing a vital role in food security.
Increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and adopting green chemistry practices drive the development of eco-friendly processes and alternatives in the chloromethane market. Green chemistry initiatives encourage the development of safer chemicals and alternatives to hazardous substances. This can influence the chloromethane market by promoting the use of derivatives that have lower toxicity and pose fewer risks to human health and the environment. Green chemistry encourages the adoption of closed-loop processes, where waste is minimized, and by-products are used as inputs for other processes. Implementing closed-loop systems in chloromethane production can enhance sustainability and resource efficiency.
