Dichloromethane (Methylene Chloride) Market Analysis
The global dichloromethane (methylene chloride) market size reached US$ 1.33 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1.95 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.40% during 2023-2032.
Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) market is mainly being driven by its extensive use in the pharmaceutical industry for extracting and purifying compounds, formulating drugs, and synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients. It also finds application in the synthesis of fine chemicals and intermediates, which is further contributing to the market growth. New medications are continuously being developed, approved, and brought to market, leading to substantial market growth. Other factors contributing to this growth include the aging population, as seniors tend to use more medications per capita, and the rising prevalence and treatment of chronic diseases. The demographic profile in most countries is shifting towards an older population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, one in every six people will be over 60 years old. Another significant factor that is boosting the demand for dichloromethane is the use of the chemical in the paint and coatings sector. This compound is commonly employed as a solvent and a degreaser because it readily dissolves paints, varnishes, and coatings. The increasing use of high-performance coatings in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries is driving the need for effective and dependable solvents such as dichloromethane. Due to the growing demand for effective and environmentally friendly products, dichloromethane plays a crucial role in the formulation of high-quality paint and coating products, which is essential for industry growth. Additionally, dichloromethane is used in the production of foams and is a key component in both industrial and domestic solvents. It serves as a blowing agent in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams, widely used in insulation and cushioning applications. Furthermore, its use as a solvent in cleaning preparations ensures its continued market presence. The expanding construction and automotive sectors, along with the increasing demand for effective cleaning compounds, are key factors driving the demand for dichloromethane. For instance, the Chinese government established a state infrastructure investment fund valued at USD 75 billion to revitalize its infrastructure and address the country's sluggish economic growth. Moreover, according to the Invest India Report, India's construction industry is projected to reach a market size of USD 1.4 trillion by 2025. This growth is bolstered by initiatives such as the Smart City Mission, which aims to transform 100 cities, and schemes focused on affordable housing. Advancements made in the foam technologies and cleaning applications improve its usage and therefore contributes to market expansion. In March 2024, Dow announced the intent to invest in ethylene derivatives capacity on the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the production of carbonate solvents, critical components to the supply chain of lithium-ion batteries. This investment supports growth in domestic electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage markets and builds on Dow's successful track record of growth projects, including the recent global alkoxylation capacity expansions expected to come online in the next two years in U.S. Gulf Coast and Europe.
