India Methyl Chloride Market Trends:

 Expansion of the Silicone Industry

Methyl chloride, often known as chloromethane, is an important raw ingredient in the manufacture of silicone. The growing need for silicones in different sectors is driving the methyl chloride market in India. Silicones are appreciated for their flexibility, including uses in the automotive, construction, electronics, and healthcare industries. They are utilized in automobile lubricants, adhesives, and sealants, which improve vehicle longevity and performance. Silicones are used in the construction industry as sealants and coatings to improve building lifespan and energy efficiency. The electronics industry benefits from silicones in encapsulants and insulators, ensuring device reliability. This widespread adoption is driving the demand for methyl chloride as a precursor. Moreover, the Indian chloromethane market, encompassing methyl chloride, reached approximately 411.56 thousand metric tons in the fiscal year 2023, creating a positive outlook for market expansion. This growth is largely attributed to the expanding silicone industry, which relies on methyl chloride for production.
