The expansion of the pest control sector for both home and commercial uses has fuelled the rise of the p-DCB market furthering the global para-dichlorobenzene market. Furthermore, the usage of space freshener agents in retail, hotel, commercial, and domestic applications is likely to boost the growth of the para-dichlorobenzene market during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact & Market Status

Manufacturing units have been shuttered as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, resulting in a significant drop in commerce. Essentially, the strict lockdowns and international border closures had such a significant impact on the industrial industry. p-DCB is a fluid or a chemical component to a wide range of items, including adhesives, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, and dyes, all of which have had significant disruptions in production and sales as a result of the epidemic. The chlorobenzene market is suffering as a result of the aforementioned issues. During the projection period, however, para-dichlorobenzene is expected to expand the quickest in the chlorobenzene market. This is mostly due to increased manufacturing of polyphenylene sulphide, which need p-DCB as a raw material.

Monochlorobenzene Segment Accounted For Highest Market Share

The global para-dichlorobenzene market is classified into monochlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, and others on the basis of type. Among these, the monochlorobenzene segment is anticipated to grow significantly in the forthcoming years.

Chemical Industry Segment Is Anticipated To Grow

The global para-dichlorobenzene market is classified into chemical, insecticides, pesticides, deodorizer, and others on the basis of application. Among these the chemical industry is the major shareholder. The most common isomer of chlorobenze is para-dichlorobenzene, which is utilised in nitrochlorobenzene, diphenol ether, and solvents. p-DCB is employed as an intermediary in the production of rubber chemicals, dyes, and pigments, and is the most common use of para-dichlorobenzene. p-DCB is also utilised as a solvent in the production of rubber, insecticides, medicines, and resins. Furthermore, the y-o-y rise in the pharmaceutical business and pesticides raises demand for the market under consideration. This trend is projected to accelerate throughout the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Is Anticipated To Be At The Top In The P-DCB Market

The Asia-Pacific region led global para-dichlorobenzene market share and is expected to retain during the projection period. With the growth of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the rising use of para-dichlorobenzene as a solvent in processes to create rubber, insecticides, and resins in countries such as India and China, the region's use of para-dichlorobenzene has increased. India is a major player in the formulations sector of the business. India is the 3rd largest maker of pharmaceuticals in terms of volume. India has the most amount of government approved plants.

China is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, and practically all end-user sectors are expanding as a result of increased population, and per-capita income. Although the pharmaceutical business in China has declined as a result of COVID-19, the country's textile industry is rapidly expanding. During the projected period, the causes described above are expected to enhance the usage of para-dichlorobenzene in variety of applications.

The rising demand for para-dichlorobenzene from different end-user sectors such as organic chemicals, and others is one of the primary drivers driving the global para-dichlorobenzene market.

The global para-dichlorobenzene market is expected to be of worth USD 1.7 billion at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2022-2029.

Para-dichlorobenzene is an aromatic chlorinated chemical. It is also known as p-DCB. This miticide repellent and pesticide is effective against fabric moths. Dichlorobenzene is also utilised in several deodorant slabs designed for toilets and garbage cans. The chemical compound para-dichlorobenzene has a pungent odour. In the form of mothballs, it is employed as a pesticide. p-DCB is used to control pest and disease in crops, as a fumigant for clothing, and to control ants. PPS resins, which are utilised as a higher efficiency thermoplastic in the production of coal boilers, speciality membranes, and gaskets, are made with p-DCB as a raw ingredient.

In the industrial sector, p-DCB is used to protect leather and other materials from mould and mildew growth. It is utilised in the manufacture of antiperspirant for ambient air.  In addition, p-DCB is employed as a raw ingredient in the production of polyphenylene sulphide resins. Insects, mildews, and moulds are poisoned by p-DCB fumes. Furthermore, p-DCB is employed as an intermediary in the production of other compounds in resin bonded abrasives.

Para Dichlorobenzene immediately converts from solid to gas, and this process is commonly known as liquefaction. Insects, moulds, and mildews are among the organisms targeted by this aromatic chemical. However, it must be noted that para-dichlorobenzene is similarly hazardous. It is mostly found in pesticides; however, it is accessible in quart container to avoid contamination.

p - DCB is often used to repel insects from nectarines, plums, apricots, and other fruits. P-DCB is a broad-spectrum insect repellent. It is effective against soil diseases, peach tree borer, and other insects. It is generally used as an oil solution administered at the root of plants, especially for tree borer prevention. PPS polymer is one of the most common p-DCB applications.

It is sold under the brand names para moth and para crystals, and it is used to deodorise bathrooms and garbage bins. It is a high temperature thermoplastic with a variety of qualities including heat resistance, bleaches, and sunshine. Chevron Phillips Chemicals uses p-DCB to make PPS resins under the trade name Ryton.

It may be used as a space odor remover in garbage receptacles and toilets. In addition, paradichlorobenzene is utilised as a fumigant to combat mildews, insects, and moulds. It is sometimes used to control a variety of tree-boring insects and rodents. The chemical can also be used to control blue mildew in tobacco seedbeds. When used as a dissolving paste, paradichlorobenzene functions well for shaping ceramics and concrete.

Paradichlorobenzene is generally used to protect garments against moths in mothballs and related products. Individual p-DCB molecules have several uses. Paradichlorobenzene is also included in deodorant blocks for toilets and garbage cans.

The Paradichlorobenzene is irritant, health hazards to liver, skin, and central nervous system (CNS) due to inhalation exposure, and environmental hazards are expected to hamper global para-dichlorobenzene market growth.

Other restraints for the global Paradichlorobenzene market include the possibility of nausea, vomiting, dizziness, exhaustion, and headaches from exposure to this chemical compound. Long-term pesticide exposure can induce allergies and a burning feeling. Its vapours might irritate the eyes and nose. It is poisonous and has the potential to be hazardous.

Furthermore, factors such as growth in pest management industry, continued increase in use of retail spaces, hospitality, commercial spaces, household applications, increased demand for Paradichlorobenzene in coil boilers is anticipated to be growth opportunity to the global Paradichlorobenzene market.

The key market players in the global para-dichlorobenzene market are ABI Chemicals, Alfa Aesar, Apollo Scientific Limited, Finetech Industry, Hangzhou Uniwise International Co., K Scientific, and Tractus Co. Limited among others.
