Global Phosgene Market size was valued at USD 1.68 Billion in 2023 poised to grow from USD 1.76 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.52 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% in the forecast period (2025-2032).
Phosgene is a crucial industrial chemical with a wide range of uses. The market trends for this chemical show numerous noteworthy aspects affecting supply and demand. The main applications for phosgene are in the manufacturing of several compounds, including polycarbonates, isocyanates, and medications. One of the biggest trends driving the phosgene industry is in the production of isocyanates and other polyurethane precursors. The demand for phosgene has been continually increasing as the need for polyurethane foams, coatings, and adhesives keeps growing in such industries as furniture, automotive, and construction. The electronics sector also drives the Phosgene market with polycarbonates being manufactured.
Polycarbonates are used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses, optical discs, and electronic components. They do have renowned properties which include excellent impact resistance, optical clarity, and heat resistance. The demand for phosgenation has increased due to the growth in consumer electronics and also due to an increase in polycarbonates in a variety of electronic applications. The APIs in the pharmaceutical industry rely very much on phosgene in their production process. Continued demand for phosgene in this domain is thus a result of the pharmaceutical industry's research and development activities along with the rising demand for novel drugs. The strict regulatory environment of the pharmaceutical industry impacts the dynamics of the market for phosgene. In this market, safety precautions take precedence in the handling of the drug.
