Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The low cost of raw materials and labor is notably driving the epichlorohydrin market growth, although factors such as epichlorohydrin manufacturers worldwide face stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers that may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the epichlorohydrin industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Epichlorohydrin Market Driver
The low cost of raw materials and labor is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global epichlorohydrin market. The cost of raw materials required for the production of epichlorohydrin is less compared with bisphenol A (BPA). Bisphenol A is synthesized by the reaction of phenol and acetone. These starting materials, phenol, and acetone are abundantly and readily available compared with the synthesis of epichlorohydrin that is produced through chlorohydrination, which is a three-step process. High-temperature conditions are also required during the reaction. The labor cost is low in many regions, especially in APAC. This is because developing countries, such as China and India, have a huge population and many unemployed individuals. Thus, many individuals are willing to work for low wages. Epichlorohydrin is mainly produced by the chlorohydrination of allyl chloride, which is obtained by the chlorination of propylene. The manufacture of propylene for different applications is inexpensive compared with other substitutes. Thus, the cost of epichlorohydrin ultimately decreases.
Key Epichlorohydrin Market Trend
Bio-based methods replacing synthetic methods will fuel the global epichlorohydrin market growth. The availability of glycerin as a byproduct of biodiesel production has influenced the development of technologies that use glycerin as a raw material to produce value-added products, such as epichlorohydrin. The conventional method used propylene and chlorine to produce epichlorohydrin. Glycerin can also react with hydrochloric acid (HCL) to form an intermediate called chlorohydrin, which can be converted into epichlorohydrin. The cost of glycerin is very high compared with propylene. Consumers are becoming more aware of the harmful effects of propylene on the environment and the benefits of using bio-based products. Bio-based methods can positively influence the epichlorohydrin market and drive its growth in the future. The US is investing heavily in R&D to produce epichlorohydrin from glycerin.
Key Epichlorohydrin Market Challenge
Epichlorohydrin manufacturers worldwide face stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers is the major challenge for the global epichlorohydrin market growth. Epichlorohydrin manufacturers worldwide face stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers. The market in China is concentrated, with the presence of epichlorohydrin manufacturers. In addition, the manufacturing and labor costs are low in this country. Epichlorohydrin manufacturers worldwide face stiff competition from manufacturers in China. The mass production and export of epichlorohydrin by manufacturers in China will restrict the growth of other vendors in the market. Most of the anise will leave the market because of the stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers. In addition, vendors will be compelled to lower their export prices, which will result in low profits and restricted market growth. The above factors will hinder the global epichlorohydrin market growth during the forecast period.
