Chlorotoluene Market Recent Developments: Meghmani Finechem Limited, a prominent manufacturer of Chlor-alkali chemicals and value-added derivatives, has announced plans to expand into the chlorotoluene value chain. The new plant in Dahej's Chlor-Alkali Complex will produce intermediates for the production of agrochemical and pharmaceutical active ingredients, two of the fastest-growing segments.

 

The Chlorotoluene project is planned to be custom-built by Q4FY24 and will cost Rs.180 crore in CAPEX, with all funds coming from internal accruals. This project is expected to generate Rs300 crore in annual revenue for Meghmani Finechem Ltd. Meghmani Finechem would invest Rs 180 crore in establishing a research and development facility for chlorotoluene. This will be the first intermediate facility of its sort that can be backwardly integrated with the toluene chlorination process.

 

Restriction on the Market: The Chlorotoluene Market's growth is being hampered by many significant restraints. The chemical's higher rate of toxicity level is a limiting issue. The rate of increase is also slowed by a lack of organic chemistry understanding and specialists.

 

Chlorotoluene Market Segment Analysis:

By Type, The market is divided into three types: o-chlorotoluene, p-chlorotoluene, and chlorotoluene combination. o-Chlorotoluene is widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical market, as well as in the production of synthetic rubber and colors, and as a pesticide and bactericide. As a result, it is expected to grow at a healthy rate. 2 Chlorotoluene, commonly known as chlorinated toluene, is a set of three chemical compounds in which the benzene ring is joined to a chlorine atom and a methyl group.

 

Chlorotoluene is a colorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons. Meta-chlorotoluene, para-chlorotoluene, and ortho-chlorotoluene are three isomeric chemical compounds found in chlorotoluene. A disubstituted benzene ring is joined to one methyl group and one chlorine atom in chlorotoluene.

 

 

By Application, Chlorotoluene used in Paints & coatings, chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal care, polymers, and others make up the End-Use Market section of the Chlorotoluene Market. Because of its importance, chlorotoluene is in high demand in several markets. Crop protection and agricultural production are two of the most common uses for agrochemicals. Furthermore, benzyl chloride is made from o-chlorotoluene, which is widely utilized in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, and agrochemicals.

 

Also, rising demand for benzyl chloride in these applications is expected to drive demand for chlorotoluene, favouring market growth through the period. Due to the rising use of the product in the manufacturing of various agrochemicals such as growth regulators, herbicides, fungicides, acaricides, and pesticides, the 2-chlorotoluene or o-chlorotoluene segment is expected to have a lucrative growth.

 

The organic synthesis of intermediate benzyl chloride is crucial. It can be utilized as a raw material for many other intermediates, such as phenyl acetonitrile, benzoyl chloride, m-phenoxy benzaldehyde, and other pesticides, in addition to directly synthesizing organophosphorus fungicides rice blast net and iso rice blast net.
