Epichlorohydrin Market Analysis:
Epichlorohydrin is an unpleasant smelling, dull harmful epoxide fluid. It is fabricated utilizing allyl chloride, chlorine, and water by passing it through a few reactors. It is principally utilized in the creation of epoxy saps, epichlorohydrin elastomers, water treatment synthetics, surfactants, and pitch for paper creation. It is widely utilized in ventures, for example, paints, gadgets, cements, automobiles, and construction. Epoxy pitches are utilized in paint and coatings of various metal substrates. Epichlorohydrin elastic has better mineral oil and hear obstruction than nitrile elastic and gives improved adaptability at low temperature. Moreover, epichlorohydrin exhibits various properties such as low gas porousness, climate and ozone obstruction, and dissolvable and warmth opposition, which are highly required in automobiles industry for hoses, seals, gaskets, link coats, O-rings, and belts. Rise in demand for epoxy saps from different end-use industries such as building and automobiles is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 scenario analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted the global economy by halting the operations of industries such as electronics, construction, automotive, and textile. The worldwide lockdown has made the industries to shut down their power plants due to lack of man power. Moreover, the disruption of supply chain has reduced the demand for the electronics appliances and various consumer goods. However, the use of epichlorohydrin in the pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to boost the demand for the product, as pharmaceuticals is the only industry, which is completely operational during this time of crisis.
Market scenario analysis
Increase in adoption of epoxy pitches in different end-use industries, due to its dielectric properties, high rigidity, and erosion resistance is expected to be the major factor driving the growth of the global epichlorohydrin market during the forecast period. Innovations are being carried out by manufacturers for the creation of epichlorohydrin for replacing the petro-based crude material (propylene) by bio-based crude material (glycerine). Rise in demand for automobiles due to increase in disposable income drives the market for epichlorohydrin across the globe. Developing paints and coatings industry and rapid industrialization are further anticipated to augment the growth of the target market. Moreover, shift toward bio-based epichlorohydrin by various industries such as automotive, construction, and pharmaceuticals, owing to its biodegradable property is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. However, tough guidelines by government relating to ecological and wellbeing concerns are a key factor which may hamper the growth of the epichlorohydrin market over the forecast period. In addition, high raw material expense is expected to limit the growth of the epichlorohydrin market.
