The global chlorinated paraffins market size reached US$ 2.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 3.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.04% during 2023-2032. The increasing construction activities, rising focus on driver and passenger safety, and the growing demand for vibrant fabrics represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) refer to complex mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes produced by chlorinating straight chain paraffin fractions obtained from minerals or tallows. They are primarily inert, insoluble in water, and have an extremely low vapor pressure. They also have high thermal stability, good lubricating properties, excellent solubility, low volatility, and offer resistance to water, chemicals, and oxidation. They are used as a replacement of the primary plasticizers, including phthalates and phosphate esters. They are also utilized as lubricants in metal cutting, metal forming, and drilling operations.
In addition, CPs are employed in the manufacturing of automobile components, such as car seats, door panels, hoses, seals, gaskets, bumpers, and dashboards. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for luxury vehicles, rising focus on driver and passenger safety and comfort, and significant growth in the automotive industry, is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, CPs find applications in the textile industry to provide ultraviolet (UV) protection and enhance the color of the material. This, coupled with the increasing demand for high-quality and vibrant fabrics, is contributing to the market growth.
Furthermore, the rising use of CPs in the production of electronic components, such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductors, to reduce friction and wear during assembly and improve the performance of the equipment is bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, key players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to launch safer and more sustainable alternatives of CPs, including halogen free flame retardants, phosphorous-based flame retardants, and biobased materials, for reducing the amount of chemicals released into the environment.
