Chlorobenzene Market: Information by Product (Monochlorobenzene, O-Dichlorobenzene, P-Dichlorobenzene, M-Dichlorobenzene, Trichlorobenzenes, Hexachlorobenzene and others), Application (Paints, Cosmetics, Adhesive, Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical, Rubber & Polymer and others) and Region (North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa) - Forecast till 2030

Market Synopsis

The Global Chlorobenzene Market is expected to be valued at USD 3,146.50 million and projected to register 5.7% CAGR during the forecast period. Chlorobenzene is primarily used as a chemical intermediate as well as a solvent and degreasing agent. It is an aromatic chemical compound which belongs to the family of organic halogen compounds, class of synthetic and natural chemicals that comprises of one or more halogens such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine combined with carbon elements.

In cosmetic products, chlorobenzene dissolves with other substances and is an organic chemical which is positively influencing its application in natural-based beauty products. The growing beauty and personal care markets in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa is expected to create significant demand for natural beauty products. The ASEAN Cosmetics Association, Inc (ACA), reported that China accounted for nearly 37% of revenue generated in the Asia-Pacific cosmetics & personal care ingredients market by 2017 and is estimated to exhibit a significant CAGR of around 6.55% over the assessment period due to the various factors such as rapid urbanization, rise in per capita disposable income, and changing lifestyles.

Chlorobenzene is used as a solvent for manufacturing rubber, adhesive, and paints. Rubber is used in the manufacturing of many industrial and consumer products such as gloves, tires, hoses, belts, and cables. Thus, the rising demand for rubber in the manufacturing of tires, cosmetics, and medical applications is expected to drive the chlorobenzene industry.

The growing geriatric population across the globe is expected to increase the adoption of cosmetic and skincare products, which in turn is likely to raise the demand for cosmetics & personal care products across the globe. The increasing number of skin diseases and growing consumer awareness regarding healthcare is estimated to augment the demand for personal care and cosmetic ingredients. Thus, the growth of the cosmetic industry in the developing regions is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for the producers of chlorobenzene as an organic chemical solvent.
