According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane market size was valued at US$ 2843 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4069 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
1-Chloro-2,3-epoxypropane is an important chlorinated epoxy compound with the molecular formula C₃H₅ClO and a relative molecular mass of 92.52. Its molecular structure contains both a highly reactive epoxy group and a chloromethyl group, giving it strong chemical reactivity and enabling it to undergo various reactions, including ring-opening, substitution, addition, and polymerization. It is an important basic raw material and intermediate in organic synthesis and the polymer materials industry.
Industrially, 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane is mainly produced from propylene or glycerol. Its largest application is as a key raw material for the production of epoxy resins. It is also used in the manufacture of epichlorohydrin rubber, glycidyl ethers, cationic etherification agents, water treatment chemicals, and pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates. Owing to the presence of both epoxy and chlorinated functional groups, it can effectively introduce reactive epoxy structures or be further converted into various functional groups, supporting a wide range of applications in coatings, adhesives, electronic materials, composites, and fine chemicals.
In 2025, global production reached 2.1421 million tons, with an average selling price of USD 1,290 per ton.
1-Chloro-2,3-epoxypropane is an important basic organic chemical and chlorinated epoxy intermediate. Its industry chain is closely linked to the chlor-alkali, propylene, glycerol, and epoxy resin industries. Major upstream raw materials include propylene, glycerol, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and caustic soda. Among these, propylene and glycerol are the primary carbon feedstocks, while different feedstock routes vary significantly in terms of production costs, energy consumption, environmental impact, and by-product treatment requirements. The major industrial production routes currently include the conventional propylene-based process and the glycerol-based process. The propylene-based route is highly commercialized and supported by a mature industrial infrastructure, making it particularly suitable for large producers with integrated chlor-alkali and petrochemical operations. The glycerol-based route uses glycerol as its primary feedstock and offers certain advantages in feedstock diversification, reduction of selected pollutants, and utilization of bio-based raw materials. As environmental requirements become more stringent and feedstock prices fluctuate, producers continue to lower production costs through process optimization, larger-scale production units, integrated energy utilization, and by-product recovery. On the supply side, the 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane industry is characterized by relatively strong economies of scale and vertical integration. Large producers typically also operate chlor-alkali facilities, epoxy resin businesses, or other downstream operations in order to strengthen feedstock security and increase captive consumption. New production facilities are generally moving toward larger unit capacities and higher levels of automation. Industry profitability is cyclical, with gross margins mainly affected by propylene or glycerol prices, chlor-alkali integration costs, energy prices, plant operating rates, and demand conditions in the downstream epoxy resin industry. Epoxy resins represent the largest downstream application of 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane. Other applications include epichlorohydrin rubber, glycidyl ethers, cationic etherification agents, water treatment chemicals, and pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates. End-use demand further extends to coatings, adhesives, electronic materials, composites, electrical insulation, and fine chemicals. In particular, the development of electrical and electronic products, new energy applications, automotive lightweighting, high-performance composites, and advanced coatings is supporting demand for higher-performance and higher-purity products. From the perspective of industry growth drivers, rising demand for epoxy resins is the primary factor supporting the development of the 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane market. Continued expansion in electrical and electronics, semiconductor packaging, copper-clad laminates, wind turbine blades, electric vehicles, energy storage, and high-performance composites is increasing demand for epoxy resins, structural adhesives, insulation materials, and functional coatings, which in turn drives upstream demand for 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane. At the same time, the shift toward higher purity, greater reliability, and lower impurity levels in electronic materials and advanced resins is increasing demand for higher-quality feedstocks. In addition, stricter environmental regulations, greater requirements for energy conservation and emissions reduction, and increasing availability of renewable feedstocks such as glycerol are promoting the adoption of relatively lower-emission glycerol-based processes and the upgrading of conventional production facilities. Greater vertical integration, larger-scale production units, and higher levels of automation are also helping producers reduce unit costs, improve operating efficiency, and strengthen market competitiveness. Key competitive factors in the industry include feedstock and energy costs, vertical integration, production scale, process technology, product quality consistency, and access to downstream customers. Future industry growth is expected to be supported by expanding demand from epoxy resins and electronic materials, as well as continued optimization of glycerol-based and other production technologies and the upgrading of older facilities. However, concentrated additions of new capacity, feedstock price volatility, increasingly stringent environmental and safety regulations, and cyclical fluctuations in the epoxy resin industry may also affect operating rates and profitability.
