2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Chemical Intermediate segment held the largest share of 37% in the 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol market in 2020. Pharmaceutical intermediates are fine chemicals of intermediate compounds that are produced in the process of manufacturing Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Intermediates are the by-products of reactions in the API production process. Each reaction during the production process may produce several intermediates depending on the analysis, and these intermediates can serve as precursors to other active pharmaceutical ingredients. The conversion of intermediates to active ingredients can be achieved through further refinement processes. Like APIs, intermediates can also be used in bulk drugs for therapeutic purposes by using 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol as a chemical intermediate.

2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Pharmaceutical segment held the largest share in the 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 10.5% during 2021-2026. 2, 4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol with a chemical formula C7H6Cl2O is primarily used as an antiseptic. Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (DCBA) is an active ingredient in throat lozenges such as strepsils, gorpils, and lorsept. Commonly a low pH throat lozenge contains amylmetacresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol and is considered to kill various types of viruses. DCBA works as an antimicrobial and finds application such as preservative, insecticide, chemical intermediate, and others. Diseases are mainly caused by viruses, bacteria, and germs, which thrive in unhealthy home environments and unhygienic toilets, latrines, and kitchens. The application of antiseptic and disinfectant solutions is, therefore, an essential requirement to maintain home cleanliness. Such solutions prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and viruses, reducing the chance of acquiring these diseases. Hence, an increase in awareness about home cleanliness is anticipated to propel the 2,4-Dichbenzyle Alcohol market for antiseptics and insecticide over the forecast period.

2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

North America region held the largest share in the 2,4-Dichbenzyle Alcohol market in 2020 up to 43%, owing to the accelerating Pharmaceutical industries in the region. According to European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association(EFPIA) 2020, the pharmaceutical market is anticipated to more than double to US$1.3 trillion, with the E7 countries such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey accounting for one-fifth of global pharmaceutical sales.

Increasing use of Insecticide and Pesticides in Agriculture

2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol is used to prepare Insecticides which are chemicals that destroy or inhibit specific developmental stages of insects. They play a vital role in an Integrated Pest Management plan. According to Researchgate, Approximately, 2 million tons of pesticides are utilized annually worldwide, where China is the major contributing country, followed by the USA and Argentina, which is increasing rapidly. However, by the year 2020, the global pesticide usage has been estimated to increase up to 3.5 million tonsHumans have attained important benefits from many uses of insecticides, including, increased yields of crops because of protection from defoliation and diseases, prevention of much spoilage of stored foods, and prevention of certain diseases, which conserves health and has saved the lives of millions of people and domestic animals. Pests destroy an estimated 37% of the potential yield of plant crops in North America. Some of this damage can be reduced by the use of insecticides. Hence due to the rising use of Insecticide, in Agriculture, the 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol market is also projected to grow in the forecast period.

2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol Market Challenges

Hazards due to Overdose

It is advised to avoid medicines that include 2,4-Dichlorbenzyle alcohol If allergic, and have an intolerance to certain sugars such as fructose, glucose-galactose and sucroseisomaltose.
