Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market is expected to reach USD 908.9 million by 2022

MCA, also known as chloroacetic acid, is a strong acid that is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of CMC, herbicides, and surfactants. MCA is made by catalytic chlorination of acetic acid with acetic anhydride as a catalyst. It has no colour, is hygroscopic, and is crystalline. CMC, herbicides and pesticides such as 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), surfactants, TGA, and others are major applications. It is available in three different forms: crystalline, liquid, and flakes.


Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market size was USD 733.4 million in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 908.9 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.6 percent. CMC is the most common application of Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA).

Between 2017 and 2022, CMC application will lead the Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market. Surfactants are Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA)'s fastest-growing application, owing to its increasing use in detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants, which are found in a variety of personal care products. Consumers' increasing disposable income and higher standard of living in emerging economies play a critical role in the growth of the personal care industry, which drives demand for surfactants. Because of its use in various end-use industries such as oil and gas, construction, textile, paints and coatings, food and beverage, and others, CMC is the most common application of Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) .

Between 2017 and 2022, the crystalline form will lead the MARKET. ”

In terms of value, the crystalline product form held the largest market share in 2016. The large market size can be attributed to the low cost and simple manufacturing process of crystalline form. Because of its ease of miscibility as an intermediate and efficient operation, the demand for liquid product form is increasing globally.

“APAC to be the largest and fastest-growing market DURING the forecast period”

In terms of value, APAC is the largest market, accounting for 29.7 percent of the total in 2016. The increase in population is primarily responsible for the increased demand for MCA in the formulation of CMC, agrochemicals, and surfactants, which are used in industries such as building and construction and agriculture. This region's market growth is also attributed to higher growth prospects in personal care applications. According to the World Bank, Eastern Asia and the Pacific regions accounted for roughly two-fifths of total personal care product consumption in 2015, more than doubling the combined contribution of other developing regions. This has indicated the region's growth potential. During the forecast period, China is expected to have the largest market share globally.

Driver:  Growing Demand for agrochemicals

As the world's population grows, so does the demand for agrochemicals. According to the UN, the amount of food required by 2050 will be 70% greater than the current requirement. Growing population and economic prosperity in emerging economies such as China and India will drive food production even further. In India, the population is expected to reach 9.3 billion by 2050, resulting in increased food demand and, as a result, increased use of crop protection chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides. Crop protection chemicals protect crops and increase yield. Crop protection chemicals are in high demand in APAC and Latin American countries. Furthermore, the development of environmentally friendly crop protection chemicals as a result of environmental restrictions imposed by various agencies such as the EPA and the European Environment Agency in developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom will drive the Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) Market.
