Methylene Chloride Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by APPLICATIONS : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Methylene chloride is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH2CL2, which is also called as dichloromethane (DCM). This colorless, unstable fluid has a mildly sweet aroma, and is widely used as a solvent. It finds its applications in paints & coatings industry, metal cleaning, polyurethane foams as a blowing agent, and is used to decaffeinate tea & coffee.

Surge in demand for solvent in automotive & construction industries, easy availability of methylene chloride, and rise in demand for fluorocarbons are expected to drive the growth of the global methylene chloride market. However, increase in health concerns due to increased exposure to methylene chloride and implementation of stringent regulations by the American Coatings Association on the use of methylene chloride are is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, factors such as increase in production of methylene chloride in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
