Benzyl Chloride Market 2021: Industry Growth, Classification and Consumption Volume Forecast

Global benzyl chloride market is segmented on the basis of product type and geography. Benzyl chloride or α-chlorotoluene is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CH2Cl. This colourless liquid is a reactive organochlorine compound which is a widely used chemical building block.

Benzyl chloride is used as a chemical intermediary used in production of certain dyes and pharmaceutical products. On coming in human contacts, the acute effects of benzyl chloride from inhalation exposure in humans consists of severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes and mucous membranes and lung damage along with pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). Exposure to high concentrations of benzyl chloride also leads in impacting the central nervous system (CNS).


Since there is no benzyl alcohol production from benzyl chloride in U.S. or Japan, a slow growth is expected for the benzyl chloride market in such areas as solvents, ballpoint pen inks and chemical intermediates. Benzyl chloride used for benzyl cyanide production occurs primarily in China. It will remain the largest market for benzyl chloride. Benzyl cyanide is a precursor to the manufacture of penicillin G; and is used in minor amounts for pesticides, flavours, and fragrances.

On the basis of product type, the benzyl chloride market is segmented into benzyl alcohol, benzyl cyanide, benzyl quaternary ammonium compounds, benzyl phthalates, and benzyl esters and so on.

On the basis of geography, the benzyl chloride market is segmented into Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, North America and Middle East & Africa. The global market for benzyl chloride is mature in Western Europe and demand will grow at slower rate annually in the coming years. In the United States, benzyl chloride consumption is expected to increase at an average rate. Benzyl chloride consumption for the production of benzyl alcohol has grown and is expected to continue rising strongly in China and India. In China, benzyl alcohol is used significantly in a variety of applications including epoxy resin diluents, perfumes, flavors, personal care and pharmaceutical products and solvents.

In India, benzyl alcohol is the largest benzyl chloride market and is mainly exported to Western Europe and the United States. It is also consumed domestically for pharmaceuticals, fragrances and other uses. In Western Europe, benzyl chloride consumption for benzyl alcohol production is the largest market use.

The global key players in the benzyl chloride market are Monsanto, Fessenderlo Chimiesa, BayerAG, Atochem, Jiangsu Shuangling Huagong, Hodogaya, Wuhan Youji Industries, Tessenderlo Group, Taile Chemical, Kureha, Shandong Yangmeihengtong Chemical, Jinzhou oil chemical plant, Zhejiang Juhua, Xinan Chemical, and Tianjin Jingjin Pesticide.
