Chloromethane, also known as methyl chloride, is a colorless, flammable gas with a sweet odor. It is an essential industrial chemical used as a raw material in the production of silicones, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, it serves as a solvent, refrigerant, and propellant. However, due to its ozone-depleting properties, efforts are underway to reduce its usage and transition to more environmentally friendly alternatives.

The global chloromethane market size is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 8.8 Billion by 2032, with the demand growing at a standard CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2032. Valued at US$ 5 Billion in 2021, the target market scaled up to US$ 5.3 Billion in 2022. Heightened demand for silicone elastomers across different industrial verticals, particularly from the automotive and construction industries, is expected to facilitate the growth of the chloromethane market during the forecast period.

Chloromethane is used as a chemical intermediate to produce derivatives like chloroform, methylene chloride, and carbon tetrachloride. The chemical is also used in the production of silicone. With rapid industrialization taking place across the globe, the demand for these derivates of chloromethane- chloroform, methylene chloride, and carbon tetrachloride -is expected to rise which, in turn, will augur well for the target market. Furthermore, as chloromethane is also used to produce silicone, the demand for chloromethane will likely continue to rise in the automobile and electronics sectors as these industries make considerable use of silicone.

Again, silicones also find application in the construction industry which facilitates growth for the chloromethane market. In the construction industry, silicones are utilized for structural glazing and weatherproofing. Silicone also contributes towards the maintenance of energy efficiency of buildings, reduction of material waste, an extension of building life, and maintenance of in-shop productivity. Thus, with the expansion of the construction sector, the use of chloromethane to produce construction-grade silicone is anticipated to grow over the upcoming decade and push the overall market growth.
