The global 1,2-Dichlorobenzene market continues to demonstrate steady growth, with its valuation reaching USD 600 million in 2023. According to latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5%, reaching approximately USD 800 million by 2029. This growth is largely fueled by increasing applications in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and industrial solvents, particularly in emerging economies where chemical production continues to expand.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene, also known as ortho-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB), is a versatile chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon widely used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. Its excellent solvency properties make it valuable across multiple industries, though environmental concerns are prompting shifts toward more sustainable alternatives in some regions.
