Description
The global anhydrous aluminum chloride market size is projected to grow from approximately 1.32 million tons in 2022 to 1.79 million tons by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2029.
Anhydrous aluminum chloride is an odorless inorganic solid represented by the chemical formula AlCl3. It serves as a vital catalyst in the chemical industry, notably for Friedel-Crafts reactions and as a Lewis acid. Typically white or gray in color, it can also appear yellowish due to traces of iron chloride.
Key factors driving market growth include increasing application of anhydrous aluminum chloride in pesticide manufacturing for agriculture as well as its role as a catalyst in various chemical production processes. However, potential challenges from volatile raw material pricing and concerns over wastewater effluents could hinder market expansion.
The market is experiencing positive expansion fueled by rising demand for anhydrous aluminum chloride as a catalyst in pharmaceuticals and an array of industrial chemical syntheses such as for agricultural chemicals, polymers, flavors, and fragrances. Currently, the Asia Pacific region, led by major markets like China and India, dominates global consumption and contributes significantly to overall demand.
