• India Ethylene Dichloride Market Segments: Production Process and Application

The India Ethylene Dichloride Market is encompasses the production, purchase and consumption of ethylene dichloride. The most common use of EDC is to produce vinyl monomer which is the precursor to the production of PVC resins. Due to its widespread use in so many industries including construction industry for pipes, fittings, and profiles, automotive, packaging and electrical, PVC resins are an essential part of the EDC market as a key feedstock to polymer.

The ethylene dichloride in India are backed by government support, including the Chemicals Promotion and Development Scheme (CPDS) and integrated cluster approaches such as Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Regions (PCPIRs), aimed to improve the domestic supply and utilisation environment for EDC and related chemicals. India’s petrochemical consumption of EDC reached levels as high as approximately 787,000 metric tonnes in 2017, with peaks over 860,000 metric tonnes in previous years, underscoring the scale of demand for this intermediate within domestic industrial processes.

As technology advances, Indian ethylene dichloride providers are now using production technologies that enhance efficiency, yield, and environmental performance have been used to produce products more efficiently. Advances in catalytic technologies, improved separation and distillation, and digital automation are being used by producers to decrease energy use, reduce emissions, optimise resource usage, and provide consistent quality of products over time. Additionally, initiatives to implement strategies designed to meet sustainability objectives are changing the way EDC is manufactured according to environmental standards and market requirements.

Market Dynamics of the India Ethylene Dichloride Market:

The India ethylene dichloride market is driven by the rising demand for PVC and related polymer products, rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, rapid industrialization, continued expansion in construction, automotive, electrical and electronics sectors, increased growth in agrochemical solvents and coatings, expansion of  EDC utilization, increased domestic production capacity helps reduce reliance on imports, technological advancements in digital automation, and strong government support to improve the domestic supply for ethylene dichloride further propel the market growth.

The India ethylene dichloride market is restrained by the stringent environmental and regulatory pressures, careful handling risks due to hazardous nature, potential environmental impact, heavy compliance with environmental norms, increased operational costs, price volatility of feedstocks and competition from imported chemicals challenges.

The future of India ethylene dichloride market is bright and promising, with versatile opportunities emerging from the Indian chemical and petrochemical industry shifting towards sustainability and diversification. In India, the chemical and petrochemical industry provide opportunity to invest in advanced production technologies that have lower impacts on the environment and improve the strength of integrated supply chains to create value within the domestic environment. Furthermore, there are opportunities to grow the domestic EDC production and downstream utilization through the broader movement to enhance the position of India within the global chemical value chain.

Market Segmentation

The India ethylene dichloride market share is classified into production process and application.

By Production Process:

The India ethylene dichloride market is divided by production process into direct chlorination and oxy chlorination. Among these, the direct chlorination segment held the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is predicted to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. High operational efficiency, cost effectiveness, high demand as a key component in integrated petrochemical complexes for PVC manufacturing, and reduced by-product management all contribute to the direct chlorination segment's largest share and higher spending on ethylene dichloride when compared to other production process.

By Application:

The India ethylene dichloride market is divided by application into vinyl chloride monomers, ethylene amines, chlorinated solvents, degreasers, paint remover, rubber & plastics, and others. Among these, the vinyl chloride monomers segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The vinyl chloride monomers segment dominates because of high demand for PVC in infrastructure and construction sectors, rapid urbanization, increasing government-led infrastructure projects, cost effectiveness, and integrated production units for PVC consumption in India.
