Monochloroacetic acid or chloroacetic acid as it is also known is a carboxylic acid compound used in the manufacture of useful commodities such as dyes drilling fluids drugs and pesticides among others. The economic boom in China has been the reason for the country to be a world leader in the manufacture of fertilizers and agrochemicals and is slated to have a positive influence on the growth of the global MCA market cites the report.
MCA is utilized on a large scale in carboxymethyl cellulose production. The flourishing oil and gas sector which extensively utilizes carboxymethyl cellulose in oil drilling activities will indirectly benefit the MCA market. In the agricultural sector increasing demand for agrochemicals such as glyphosates that are MCA-based will also aid growth of this market.However volatile prices of raw materials such as acetic acid and methanol which are essential constituents of MCA are hampering the growth of this market.
On the basis of the application of MCA the market has been segmented into agrochemicals thioglycolic acid surfactants cellulosics and others. According to the report in 2013 cellulosics were the leading application segment and held more than 32% of the overall market. The agrochemicals application segment stood second in this market. These two applications of MCA are expected to display exponential growth during the forecast horizon as well.
