Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, dichloromethane prices slipped slightly as demand from pharmaceuticals and paint stripping applications moderated. The dichloromethane price index reflected subdued procurement, with steady chloroform feedstock supply ensuring ample availability. Export opportunities remained limited, while weaker activity in the adhesives sector added to downward sentiment. Despite stable production levels, cautious buying patterns among industrial users weighed on prices, resulting in a mild decline across the regional market this quarter.
Europe: In Europe, dichloromethane prices fell sharply due to a significant drop in demand from pharmaceuticals, solvents, and foam-blowing applications. The dichloromethane price index weakened further as competitive imports and declining chloroform costs pressured suppliers. Inventories remained elevated, limiting fresh procurement, while sluggish industrial activity across downstream manufacturing created an unfavorable pricing environment. Overall, oversupply conditions and weak consumption contributed to one of the steepest declines globally.
North America: In North America, dichloromethane prices recorded a slight increase, supported by steady demand from pharmaceuticals and paint stripping applications. The dichloromethane price index reflected moderate procurement activity, with stable supply ensuring market balance. Rising consumption in adhesives and coatings lent further support, helping prices trend upward despite global bearish sentiment. Although gains were limited, resilient end-use demand helped sustain a positive movement in regional prices this quarter.

The global dichloromethane industry size reached USD 1.39 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.0 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.18% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising demand in pharmaceutical and chemical industries, increased use as a solvent in paint stripping and adhesives, expanding applications in electronics manufacturing, and growing global chemical production.
Dichloromethane (DCM), also known as methylene chloride, is a colorless, volatile organic solvent with a sweet aroma, widely used in industrial and commercial applications. Its primary uses include paint stripping, degreasing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical processing due to its excellent solvency and low boiling point. DCM is also utilized in aerosol formulations, polymer processing, and as a blowing agent for foams. In 2025, the industry faced stricter regulatory oversight, particularly in the U.S., where exposure limits and usage restrictions were tightened. Companies are responding by enhancing safety protocols, exploring alternative solvents, and upgrading production facilities to ensure compliance.
