Copper oxychloride, chemically known as dicopper chloride trihydroxide, is a green colored inorganic compound, which is insoluble in water. It exists in various forms and appearances and can be prepared by different methods. Copper oxychloride is widely used across the world as a fungicide in agriculture. In addition, it has several applications in the colorants and pigments industry, and is used as a commercial feed supplement. Copper oxychloride is further employed as a catalyst in several organic synthesis and reactions.
With surge in population, steady increase has been witnessed in the demand for crops, which has led to rise in use of fungicides to increase the yield of cultivation. Fungicide manufacturers, being the major end users of copper oxychloride, acts as the key drivers of the global copper chloride market. Copper chloride is extensively used in fungicides for crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, avocados, grapes, carnation, and coffee. Moreover, copper oxychloride is used as a colorant in wall paintings, and is applied as green and blue coloring agents in the manufacture of pyrotechnics.
Copper oxychloride, being an important trace element that helps in metabolism in organisms, is widely used in commercial feed supplements for animals such as chickens, pigs, horses, cattle, and pets. Furthermore, it is used as a catalyst in a number of organic reactions, including chlorination of ethylene and partial oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride. This wide array of applications is expected to supplement the growth of the global copper oxychloride market in near future.
The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the major share of the copper oxychloride market. This is attributed to rapid increase in agricultural activities in the region, which led to increase in demand for fungicides. The market in the Latin America region is expected to grow at a significant pace, due to increase in usage of agrochemical products.
