Monochlorobenzene is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5Cl. It is a colorless, flammable liquid and acts as a common solvent for use as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals. These compounds are primarily used as an intermediary in the manufacture and synthesis of pesticides and various other chemicals.
Monochlorobenzene came into existence in 1851 and, at present, is produced by benzene chlorination in the existence of catalysts, acids such as sulfur dichloride, ferric chloride, and anhydrous aluminum chloride.
This chlorination process of benzene can ideally produce 12 different chlorobenzenes; however, world events and technology have decreased the monochlorobenzene to the production of three primary products such as monochlorobenzene, p-dimonochlorobenzene, and o-dichlorobenzene.
Other chlorobenzenes that are not produced on a large scale include m-dichlorobenzene, tetrachlorobenzenes, trichlorobenzenes and hexachlorobenzene. Approximately 50% of the total production of monochlorobenzene is represented by monochlorobenzene, which is used for the production of nitro chlorobenzene.
These nitrochlorobenzenes manufacture pigment intermediates, dyes, pesticides, rubber processing chemicals, organic intermediates, and pharmaceuticals, among others. O-dimonochlorobenzene is used for the treatment of garbage, and p-dimonochlorobenzene covers the largest market for moth control and deodorant blocks and also in the production of high-performance polymers.
Chlorobenzenes are widely used in the manufacture of various pesticides, insecticides, and chemicals. In addition, they are used as deodorizers, degreasers, fumigants, and herbicides, among others.

The global demand for monochlorobenzene is projected to increase at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, reaching a total of USD 2,701.5 million in 2033, according to a report from Future Market Insights (FMI). From 2018 to 2022, sales witnessed significant growth, registering a CAGR of 2.4%.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected the demand for monochlorobenzene, the demand for it has increased due to its increasing use in solvents and personal care products. Moreover, most end-user industries are trying to integrate chemicals to maximize the use of their products. This, in turn, is expected to increase the sales of the same.
Multi-purpose Use of Monochlorobenzene Driving Market Growth
The use of monochlorobenzene for various applications such as nitro chlorobenzene, sulfone polymers, diphenol ether, phenyl phenols, and solvents is driving the growth of the market. In addition, nitro-chlorobenzenes are used as intermediates in the manufacture of rubber chemicals, agricultural chemicals, antioxidants, dyes, and pigments and constitute the key application of monochlorobenzene.
Monochlorobenzene is also used as s a solvent in processes to produce rubber products, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and resins. Also, the y-o-y growth in the pharmaceutical industry and pesticides increases the demand for the market studied.
The Personal Care Industry Propelling the Growth of Monochlorobenzene
The key driving factors of the chlorobenzenes market are the growing demand for monochlorobenzene from the chemical industry for the manufacture of various chemicals. In addition, owing to its use as deodorant, huge demand from the personal care industry is also anticipated to boost the demand for chlorobenzenes.

Alternative Chemicals Restraining Market Growth
The demand for monochlorobenzene in the market is expected to slow down owing to the various factors that volatilize the environment. The use of monochlorobenzene as an herbicide, pesticide, and solvent, with environmental problems related to them, has declined the market for chlorobenzene.
The markets for chlorobenzenes, except for high-performance polymers, are declining owing to the substitution of alternative chemistry in the manufacture of products such as phenol and moth control agents. All these factors are derailing the growth of the monochlorobenzene industry.
Research Increasing the Use of Monochlorobenzene
| Country | The United States |
|---|---|
| Market Share % (2023) | 19.3% |
The strong presence of chemical industries across the United States is making North America a large contributor to the monochlorobenzene industry. Furthermore, the establishment of specialty chemical manufacturing facilities has boosted the consumption of monochlorobenzene in the country.
Continuous research to use monochlorobenzene in end-user industries is another factor bolstering the demand for the chemical. Thus, due to the reasons mentioned above, North America is expected to possess a 20.8% market share for the monochlorobenzene industry in 2023.
