A recent report published by
Infinium Global Research on ethylene dichloride market provides an in-depth
analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well as regional
ethylene dichloride market. The study also highlights the impact of drivers,
restraints, and macro indicators on the global and regional ethylene dichloride
market over the short term as well as long term. The report is a comprehensive
presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global ethylene
dichloride market. According to the report, the global ethylene dichloride
market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period of
2019-2025.
Ethylene dichloride is also known
as EDC is a chlorinated hydrocarbon liquid, which is colorless, flammable,
pleasant smelling and oily. Ethylene dichloride is predominately used as an
intermediate for the manufacturing of monomer of vinyl chloride, a raw
material, used for the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Ethylene
dichloride is also used for manufacturing chemical solvents such as ethylene
amines, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and vinylidene chloride. EDC is
used as solvents in industries such as adhesives, metal cleaning, and textile.
The growth in the PVC market is
expected to drive the growth of the ethylene dichloride market as over 95% of
the output of the ethylene dichloride is used in the PVC industry. The major
end-user applications of PVC are in the construction industry, and the growth
in the construction sector is likely to drive the growth in the global ethylene
dichloride market over the forecast period. Moreover, fluctuation in the demand
in the PVC market has a direct influence on the growth of the ethylene
dichloride market. Hence these two factors act as a major restraining factor in
the growth of the EDC market. Moreover, health issues associated with EDC such
as inhaling ethylene dichloride could give respiratory ailments, nausea, and it
can affect the liver, kidney, and central nervous system. This factor further,
hampers the growth of the market. Besides, using bio-ethylene made from
bio-ethanol can reduce the dependence of the industry on fossil fuels for
feedstock. Furthermore, with the usage of bio-ethylene, the emissions of
Greenhouse gas are likely to be considerably less during the EDC manufacturing
process and it is expected to help the market to comply with the environmental
regulations in many countries.
As per the geographies, North
America region has accounted for the highest market share in the ethylene
dichloride market. Moreover, the ethylene dichloride manufactured in the US is
expected to cost lesser, as majorly it is manufactured from cheaper ethane
produced by the shale gas industry. Asia-Pacific region is expected to second
the highest region in the EDC market. The growth in the region is attributed to
the presence of the new large projects in the ethylene dichloride market in
this region. The demand in the developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region
is expected to drive growth in the global market.
