Earlier Report Observations

The ethylene dichloride market in Germany expanded from 773 thousand tons in 2018 to 830 thousand tons in 2019, before contracting sharply to 538 thousand tons in 2020.

Market volume rebounded to 765 thousand tons in 2021 as the automotive and construction industries regained momentum, increasing demand for EDC in PVC production and other applications. However, this recovery was short-lived, with volume falling to 685 thousand tons in 2022 due to stricter EU regulatory limits under REACH and ongoing supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regulatory pressure continued to shape the market, with further EU restrictions on 1,2-dichloroethane commercial use and adjusted workplace exposure limits in Germany contributing to a decline in market size to 499 thousand tons by 2024.
