H2 2023: In North America benzyl chloride prices in the North America experienced fluctuations. Initially, prices declined due to subdued demand and adequate supply. However, they stabilized and even saw a slight increase later in the quarter as demand surged and feedstock prices rose. Demand from downstream industries began to pick up from September 2023. Concurrently, feedstock prices like toluene and chlorine began to rise, elevating production costs and subsequently, prices. Moving into the last three months of 2023, prices in the USA market witnessed a decline till December 2023, attributed to weak support from toluene feedstock and subdued demand from downstream industries. Factors contributing to the decrease included eased cost pressures from toluene, alongside high inventories in October 2023, which reduced manufacturing costs. Demand from sectors like paints, coatings, and solvents remained low to moderate.
H1 2023: In North America, the price of benzyl chloride increased in the first three months of 2023. The supply chain industry in the US market was smooth, there was strong demand for benzyl chloride along with a slight rise in the downstream chemical chain industry. Market effects were brought by the increase in the consumer demand, which in turn led to increase in orders of benzyl chloride. There was a brief product shortage in the local market as a result of the supply chain's slow response time. However, market dynamics moved towards a pessimistic side in April 2023. Due to sluggish demand from the downstream dyes, solvent, and chemical industries, American market was bearish. Due to low operational expenses and a large decrease in production costs in the America, the market value of benzyl chloride significantly declined in the American market. As a result of the product's declined demand in the US market, Benzyl Chloride inventories were therefore in a surplus. From a demand perspective, the downstream chemical sectors had undergone a significant decline and looked hazy in the US. Additionally, the cost of the toluene feedstock dropped in the area, which caused the prices to continue their downward trend till June 2023 in US.
The global Benzyl Chloride market stood at approximately 390 thousand tonnes in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.26% during the forecast period until 2034. The organic compound benzyl chloride, commonly known as chlorotoluene, is a clear liquid that is used to make plasticizers, medicines, resins, and cosmetics. The skincare industry uses benzyl chloride extensively as a key ingredient in skincare products. Due to its capacity to supply crucial physical properties during the manufacturing process, it is also utilized in the plastics industry. A derived product of benzyl chloride, benzyl alcohol, is used in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and epoxy hardeners.
Benzyl chloride’s application in the chemical sector for producing different compounds such as benzyl alcohol, benzyl quaternary ammonium compounds, benzyl cyanide, and benzyl esters are considered to be the market drivers. Benzyl alcohol is one of the most often used applications for benzyl chloride and is used in a variety of items, including solvents, natural health products, cosmetics, flavourings, and textile colours. As a result, it can be deduced that the demand for benzyl chloride will most likely rise as benzyl alcohol is synthesized and put to use in many more applications. Furthermore, there is a need for the production of benzyl quaternary ammonium compounds, and major companies are observing in supply demands to meet the need. During the forecast period, the demand for benzyl chloride is expected to increase due to the rising need for benzyl alcohol in the paints and coatings industry.
Based on region, Asia Pacific holds the top position in the Benzyl Chloride market. It is anticipated that the Asia Pacific will continue to dominate the market throughout the projected period due to the strong demand for it in end-use sectors in this region, including the quickly expanding pharmaceutical industry and the paint and coating industries. The principal regions for this market's growth are most likely to be South East Asia, China, and India. In mainland China and India, usage of benzyl chloride for the manufacturing of benzyl alcohol has surged and will continue to rise sharply. In China, benzyl alcohol is employed in a wide range of products, including solvents, perfumes, flavors, personal care items, and epoxy resin diluents. The largest benzyl chloride market in India is benzyl alcohol, which is mostly shipped to Western Europe, the US, Japan, and South Korea. In addition, it is used for fragrances, medicines, and other purposes. The main market in Western Europe is the consumption of benzyl chloride for the manufacturing of benzyl alcohol.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Benzyl Chloride market is segmented into Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Benzyl Cyanide, Benzyl Phthalates, and Others. Among these, Benzyl Alcohol is the leading segment and held about 52% of the global Benzyl Chloride market in 2023. The market for benzyl chloride prospered from a high demand for derivatives. Benzyl alcohol, which is used in products like solvents, herbal remedies, cosmetics, flavorings, and textile colors, is one of the most widely used applications for benzyl chloride.
