According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Monochloroacetic Acid Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025," the global monochloroacetic acid market is currently experiencing stable growth. Monochloroacetic acid (MCA) is a colorless hygroscopic compound with the chemical formula (C2H3ClO2). It is manufactured by the chlorination of acetic acid or the hydrolysis of trichloroethylene using sulfuric acid. MCA is characterized by a penetrating, burning odor and is widely available in the form of flakes and aqueous solutions. It is easily soluble in water and several organic solvents, including ether, alcohol, methanol, acetone, benzene and chloroform, and is slightly soluble in hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons. MCA is extensively utilized across numerous industries for the production of herbicides, thickening agents, preservatives and bacteriostats. Apart from this, it is also used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, such as phenoxyacetic acid, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and thioglycolic acid (TGA).
We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
