Pune, India, December, 2017/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future published a Half Cooked Research Report on “Global Chloromethane Market Research Report - Forecast to 2028”– Market Analysis, Scope, Stake, Progress, Trends and Forecast to 2028.

Chloromethane Market – Overview

Chloromethane are chemical compound that belong to a class of organic compound named haloalkanes. They are predominantly used as precursors for the production of silicone polymers and drug manufacturing. Chloromethane Market is expected to witness strong growth due to its profound usage in automotive, construction, and medical. Methyl chloride accounted for the largest market share in 2016 and is expected to retain its dominance over the estimated period due to its wide utilization as a solvent in butyl rubber manufacturing & petrol refining, and for the manufacturing of lead-based gasoline additives. However, environmental concerns and shift in preference towards bio-based sources is set to challenge industry participants. On the basis of application, silicone polymers dominated the market in 2016 on account of its wide utilization in various application such as construction, medical, and automotive. Growth of global chloromethane market is predominantly driven by automotive industry. Furthermore, increasing construction activities in developed and developing countries across the globe is predicted to fuel the demand for chloromethane over the estimated period. In addition to this continuous growth of pharmaceutical sector is expected to propel the market growth.

Geographically, Asia Pacific emerged as the leading market for chloromethane followed by North America and Europe in 2016. The Asia Pacific region accounted for largest market share and is estimated to register highest CAGR due to continuous growth of automotive, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industry specifically in China, India, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and South Korea. Furthermore, In Asia Pacific escalating investments and supporting government regulations is predicted to drive market growth.  Furthermore, increasing investment by major companies and shifting of chloromethane manufacturing facilities as well as end use industries expansion in this region is expected to propel the chloromethane regional market growth. North American market is predicted to witness steady growth on account of expansion of personal care and pharmaceutical sector. Europe is expected to witness sluggish growth owing to the stringent regulations associated with industrial toxic gas emission and higher adoption rate of eco-friendly products. Additionally, high adoption rate by the end use industries is estimated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
