(Newswire.net — June 21, 2017) New York City, New York — Persistence Market Research (PMR), in its report, projects global monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) market to register a moderate expansion at 4% CAGR, in terms of volume, during the forecast period 2016 to 2024. Global consumption of MCAA surpassed 800 kilotons in 2016; by 2024 this number is estimated to reach nearly 1,200 kilotons.

Increasing demand for Production of Carboxymethylcellulose, Glycine and Thioglycolic Acid to Propel Market Growth

Growth of the global MCAA market is primarily attributed to increasing demand for production of carboxymethylcellulose, glycine, and thioglycolic acid. Monochloroacetic acid forms major part of organic synthesis, which in turn is driving its demand as an intermediate across industries such as food & beverages, pharmaceutical, chemical, and personal care industries. This is expected to boost growth of the market during the forecast period.

However, advent of alternatives for MCAA in agrochemicals production including pyridine for producing symtet is expected to pose a challenge to market growth to some extent. A recent trend observed in the global MCAA market is capacity expansion by leading market players, and new entrants in MCAA market via consolidation of the backward vertical integrated operations.
