Market Overview 2023-2028:

The global flow chemistry market size reached US$ 1.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% during 2023-2028.

Flow chemistry refers to the process of performing chemical reactions between reactive compounds in a single flowing stream. It is commonly used for hydrogenation, oxidation, halogenation and diazotization reactions. The compounds are pumped together in the vessel and flowed through a temperature-controlled pipe, chamber or microreactor. The steam generated from the reaction is collected to obtain the resultant compound, which is then directed to subsequent flow reactor loops to generate the desired product. In comparison to the traditionally used batch reactors, flow chemistry provides faster, safer and scalable reactions and cleaner products. As a result, it finds extensive applications across various industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical.

Flow Chemistry Market Trends:

Significant growth in the chemical industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Flow chemistry is commonly used to produce bulk chemicals as it provides enhanced control over mass and heat transfer rates, laminar flow conditions and high volumetric productivity. Moreover, the widespread adoption of microreactors in the pharmaceutical industry is providing a thrust to the market growth. These reactors are compact and offer safe processing conditions for highly toxic and hazardous reactions. In line with this, flow chemistry is also utilized to synthesize various petrochemicals, including ethane, benzene, ethylene and methane. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of highly automated flow synthesis systems integrated with machine learning (ML) and next-generation sustainable manufacturing solutions, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These technologies aid in maintaining a continuous flow and preventing any blockages in the process. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities, along with the implementation of favorable government policies promoting the use of biofuels, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
