Cupric and Cuprous Chloride Market Overview

Cupric and cuprous chloride market size is forecast to reach US$998.3 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 3.6% during 2022-2027. Cupric and cuprous chloride is a rare mineral tolbachite, anhydride and on mixing with moisture becomes dihydrate eriochalcite, which is a precursor to the fungicide. Copper chloride is prepared commercially by chlorination of copper and generated by treating the copper carbonate, hydroxide, or oxide with hydrochloric acid. Cupric and cuprous chloride is majorly used in agriculture to control plant growth. Other uses include creating electroplating baths, blue flame displays, mordant dyeing and printing fabrics, photography, pigment for glass and ceramics. Globally, development in biotechnology, increasing agricultural activities in Asian countries, and a rise in demand for agrochemicals to protect the crops from pest infestation are the primary growth drivers of the cupric and cuprous chloride market.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak widely affected the building & construction, electrical & electronics, and agriculture industries over the year 2020. Due to the nationwide lockdown, the production process of various goods in these industries declined due to the non-functioning of manufacturing plants. The domestic sales and export of different raw materials have also witnessed a halt during the COVID-19 outbreak. Economies of each sector are affected and have even resulted in stagnation in activities across the industries that uses cupric and cuprous chloride in different applications. However, once the construction and agriculture activities get back on track and start functioning fully by 2021, the market for cupric and cuprous chloride is estimated to upsurge.

Cupric and Cuprous Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By Packaging Type

The bag packaging segment held the largest share in the cupric and cuprous chloride market in 2021. For safe shipping and storage of bulk chemicals, polypropylene bags are excessively used for both anhydrous and dihydrate eriochalcite. These bags have non-toxic, anti-stressing, and non-staining properties, making them an ideal packaging material for containing various products such as cement, food grains, fertilizers, polymers, and sugar. Bottles also find usage for the same purpose but are difficult to be cleaned compared to the bags. Chemical storage bags are typically made up of plastics and fiber. Polypropylene lined bags, made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are industrial-grade packaging materials. These bags are light-weighted and are inexpensive in comparison to drums. Thus, considering bags as a chosen packaging for safe storage and transportation of chemicals such as cupric and cuprous chloride is driving the market growth.

Cupric and Cuprous Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The fungicides segment held the largest share in the cupric and cuprous chloride market in 2021. Fungicides are used excessively as pesticides that prevent fungi and their spores to control fungi that damage plants, including rusts and mildews in the agriculture industry. Fungicide is prepared commercially by chlorination of copper and generated by treating the copper carbonate with hydrochloric acid. Copper II chloride is primarily known as a copper-based fungicide. These copper-based fungicides are highly soluble in water and are non-volatile. Moreover, it is reported on a lesser side to be toxic to honeybees, fish, algae, and earthworms, also via the oral route to mammals. Thus, with the rising demand for fungicides in the agriculture sector, the market growth for cupric and cuprous chloride is expected to rise in the forecast period.

Cupric and Cuprous Chloride Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The agriculture segment held the largest share in the cupric and cuprous chloride market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2022-2027. In the agriculture industry, cupric and cuprous chloride finds usage in numerous applications such as in copper nutrition being essential for all living tissues and average growth of plants, as fungicides for plant protection from fungi, for soil treatments, in feeds containing the copper mineral to correct copper-deficient soils and livestock, to increase the yield, and many more. In recent years, rising investment in the agriculture sector has raised the demand for the cupric and cuprous chloride market. Agriculture activities are growing in emerging economies such as India, United States, China, and other countries. For instance, according to IBEF (Indian Brand Equity Foundation), from 2017 – 2020, India received funding of US$ 1 billion in agritech. India ranks third in terms of agritech funding and the number of agritech start-ups. Indian agritech companies are likely to observe investments worth US$ 30-35 billion by 2025.
