Benzoyl Chloride Industry Analysis
The global benzoyl chloride market size reached 119.6 Thousand Tons in 2025. By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 168.1 Thousand Tons, at a projected CAGR of 3.74% during 2026-2034. Market growth is being driven by rising demand for benzoyl chloride as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, expanding use in the production of benzoyl peroxide for polymer curing and personal care formulations, and steady consumption across dye, pigment and cellulose ester manufacturing sectors worldwide.
Latest News and Developments:
- July 2026: The European Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1857 on 27 July 2026, imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of benzyl alcohol from China (CN 2906 21 00). The provisional duty rates range from 52.6% to 71.2%, with 71.2% for all other Chinese imports. The regulation entered into force on 29 July 2026. Benzyl alcohol is a benzene-based chemical that sits in the same value chain as benzoyl chloride, so it may matter if you track EU trade measures on aromatic intermediates. The regulation doesn’t name benzoyl chloride, so any pricing impact on it is not confirmed.
Product Description
Benzoyl chloride is an organochlorine compound, the acyl chloride of benzoic acid, manufactured industrially as a reactive intermediate rather than occurring naturally. Its molecular formula is C7H5ClO, placing it in the aroyl chloride family of acyl halides, consisting of a benzene ring attached to a carbonyl chloride group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent odor, highly moisture sensitive, hydrolyzing in water to benzoic acid and hydrogen chloride. It is miscible with many organic solvents but reacts readily with alcohols and amines, reflecting its strong acylating character. Its principal industrial applications include pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments, agrochemicals, perfumery and cellulose derivatives. End uses include its role as a benzoylating agent in pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate synthesis, a raw material for benzoyl peroxide used as a polymerization initiator, and an intermediate for benzoate esters used in personal care formulations. Industrially, it is commonly produced by catalytic chlorination of toluene with chlorine to form benzotrichloride, followed by partial hydrolysis with benzoic acid to yield benzoyl chloride.
