Key Market Trends

Increasing demand from Pharmaceutical Industry

• Methylene chloride, which is also called Dichloromethane (DCM), is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical application.

• Methylene chloride is mainly used to extract several compounds and is also used in the production of antibiotics and vitamins. It is also used as a tablet-coating agent.

• The market for pharmaceuticals is emerging rapidly, owing to the growing middle-class, aging, rising incomes, and increasing urbanization in countries, such as the United States, China, and India, among others.

• The healthcare sector in the United States is, by far, one of the most advanced sectors in the country. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA), US firms conduct over half the world's R&D in pharmaceuticals and hold the intellectual property rights on most new medicines.

• Therefore, the increasing pharmaceutical industry is expected to propel the demand for methylene chloride during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

• Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for the largest market for methylene chloride during the forecast period.

• The higher demand is expected from the major developing countries, such as China, India, Japan, and ASEAN countries.

• The demand for paints and coatings is increasing in the region. The automotive and construction industry contributes to the major share in the consumption of paints and coatings.

• Asia-Pacific has the largest construction market globally, which is led by India, China, and various Southeast Asian countries.
