Monochloroacetic Acid Market Overview The global Monochloroacetic Acid Market estimated at US$786.8 Million in the year 2021, is projected to reach a revised size of US$918.9 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% over the analysis period 2021-2030. Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA), also known by another name called chloroacetic acid, is a specialty organochlorine compound. It is a structured crystalline mass, colorless, highly soluble in water. The global monochloroacetic acid market is mainly driven owing to the rising demand for agrochemicals in major agricultural countries like India, Brazil, China, and many others. Lack of cultivable land and infertility of soil are the major key drivers of the global monochloroacetic acid market. Furthermore, monochloroacetic acid produces carboxyl methylcellulose (CMC), which is required in bulk for oil drilling activities such as a viscosity modifier. Also, the water retention agent is likely to be used to drive the market growth over the assessment period. Additionally, the product holds an essential position in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, it is used for producing drugs such as maleates, diclofenac sodium, n-glycine, ibuprofen, and many others. The product is primarily used as a thickening agent. It also offers proper texture to cosmetics and personal care products. The increasing demand for cosmetic & personal care products across the globe leads to increasing awareness amongst the consumer, which further anticipates fueling the market growth. Moreover, the product is used to process PVC resins. And hence it is likely to propel the product demand in the plastic industry. However, fluctuations in the prices pose as a challenge to the market growth over the assessment period. Depleting oil & gas reserves is another concern that may restrain the market growth.
