Ethylene Dichloride Market Analysis

The global ethylene dichloride market size reached US$ 20.3 Million in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 33.2 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.60% during 2023-2032.

  • The drive towards cleaner and more sustainable industrial production has played a crucial role for the EDC industry. While not used in the refines of fuel oils, the relevance of EDC in promoting the application of PVC which is used by environmental applications, contribute greatly. By purchasing biodegradable, recyclable, or renewable materials, companies show their commitments to environmental protection and help to increase the market for such products. 
  • VCM is produced by ethylene dichloride and then converted to PVC. VCM is the monomer-building block, and likewise, PVC is a plastic out of which numerous products have been made of. PVC polymer works almost everywhere where we can see it used in construction, healthcare, and automotive industries, etc, and this is demand for EDC.
  • In 2022, over 98% of global EDC consumption was used for VCM production. Western Europe, mainland China and the United States have the most significant EDC consumption into non-VCM uses, primarily for chlorinated solvents, ethyleneamines and vinylidene chloride.
  • Technological innovation in production technologies such as the inception of dirtier-efficient-environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques has the potential of curbing the manufacturing cost of EDC and to eliminate the environmental effect as a whole.
  • The production of PVC, which is mainly used for water and sanitation infrastructure, and which constitutes a major market for EDC, heightens the demand for EDC. Worldwide projects to advance access to clean water and environmentally friendly sanitization systems, especially in the developing countries, are likely to stimulate the overall demand for PVC products and by extension, the demand for EDC.
  • The market volatility around the availability of natural gas and crude oil are the major factors that significantly influence EDC production costs. As the production of EDC is an energy-intensive process, the dynamics of energy markets are pertinent to profitability and the strategies for pricing in the EDC market.
  • Government policies and regulations regarding chemical manufacturing, ecological protection, and business trade, can influence the evolution of EDC market greatly. Such policies as environmental sustainability or chemicals manufactured due to health problems may push producers foreign to innovation in production processes or influence market demand.

Product Description

Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon primarily employed in the preparation of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). The latter is in turn a monomer for PVC polymer, which is an organic compound that is synthesized from petroleum. EDC is a clear liquid with a chloroform-like odor, that is extensively used in the chemical industry for its function in producing a wide range of products from PVC pipes, cable coverings to upholstery. The pathways of the production of the chlorination ethylene, in which EDC is formed apart from other secondary materials. EDC is situationally volatile and has marked negative effects upon proper exposure, which results in respiratory disorders, liver damage, and even cancerous issues. EDC functions as primary material for VCM production as well as a solvent and an intermediate for other purposes of organic chemical syntheses, underlining the multifaceted role of this chemical.
