Epichlorohydrin (ECH) Market

Epichlorohydrin (ECH) Market by Raw Materials (Propylene and Glycerin) for Paints & Coatings; Electronics & Electrical; Adhesives; Paper, Inks & Dyes; Textiles; Water Treatment; and Other End-users - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023

Epichlorohydrin is a colorless, clear liquid with garlic like sweet, pungent odor that is mostly utilized in the making of epoxy resins. It also finds use in the procedures of surfactants, synthetic rubbers, paper chemicals, and water treatment.

Rising consumption of epoxy resins is likely to drive the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market over the period of projection. The increased demand for epoxy resins is expected to be observed in the paints and coatings industry. However, various legislative bodies are likely to exhibit concern over the adverse impacts of epichlorohydrin on the environment and health. This factor is expected to pose challenge for the development of the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market. However, epichlorohydrin-based glycerin is estimated to offer promising opportunities for the epichlorohydrin (ECH) market in the forthcoming years.

The global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market is likely to register a growth rate of 3.6% CAGR over the years of assessment.

Some of the well-entrenched players in the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market are Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical Group Co., Samsung Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd, Shandong Haili Chemical Industry Co. Ltd, Aditya Birla Chemicals Ltd, and Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.

Wide Scope of Application to Foster Growth of the Market in Near Future

The major areas of application for epichlorohydrin comprise synthetic glycerin, water treatment chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and epoxy resins. The resins that are produced from epichlorohydrin find use across several industries comprising plastics, adhesives, and coatings. Epoxy resins also find use in the making of dyes and inks, which are used across various industry verticals. In addition, synthetic glycerin is extensively utilized in the paper industry, cosmetic industry, textiles, solvents, commercial insecticides, pharmaceuticals, and surfactants.

In the construction industry, epoxy resins are utilized in the manufacturing of floorings in high traffic areas like hospitals, industrial buildings, and shopping malls, thanks to their anti-slip properties. They are also utilized in the binding of concrete to steel or to itself for the purpose of restoration of monuments. This factor is likely to work in favor of the expansion of the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market in near future.

Epichlorohydrin comes with scores of applications across diverse end-use sectors. Its use across industries comprises epichlorohydrin-based rubber, paper, inks and dyes, ion-exchange resins, textiles, and agricultural products. These agricultural products comprise bactericides, insecticides, and fungicides. The existing trend in epichlorohydrin production has typically shifted bio-based feedstock from its manufacturing mechanism.

The agricultural residues are widely utilized in the preparation of anion exchangers after they are made to react with dimethylamine and epichlorohydrin. This holds substantial importance as agricultural residues anion exchangers are capable of doing away with NO3, thereby increasing agricultural yield at a much lower cost. This factor is estimated to support growth of the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market.

North America to Lead the Market due to High Demand from End Users

In the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market, North America is likely to come up as one of the leading regions in the market, both in terms of volume and value. A rise in the optimism toward industrial growth together with high demand for chemical substances is likely to foster growth of the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market in the years to come. The market in the region is likely to driven by the US, which is a major consumer of the product. However, Canada is expected to register sluggish growth rate due to stringent laws against epichlorohydrin.

Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as one of the highly promising zone in the global epichlorohydrin (ECH) market. The regional dominance of the Asia Pacific is bolstered by the rapidly rising demand for the product from various end use industries such as electronic manufacturing industry, construction industry. Such a trend is expected to continue in the years to come.
