Phosgene Market to Reach USD 6.5 Billion by 2035 Growing at 3.8% CAGR Across Chemical Industries

The global phosgene market continues to expand steadily, driven by its critical role as an intermediate in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. Valued at $4.34 billion in 2024, it is projected to reach $6.5 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 3.8%.​

Market Overview

Phosgene (COCl₂), a colorless, highly toxic gas, serves as a key building block in organic synthesis despite its hazardous nature. It is primarily produced by reacting carbon monoxide and chlorine over activated carbon, with most output used captively in downstream manufacturing. Demand stems from its versatility in creating isocyanates for polyurethanes, polycarbonates, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Recent forecasts align on robust growth, with alternative estimates showing $44.48 billion in 2024 expanding to $71.40 billion by 2033 at 5.4% CAGR, reflecting varying scopes across reports.

Growth Drivers

Rising demand in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals fuels expansion, as phosgene enables synthesis of active ingredients and pesticides amid global food security needs. The polyurethane sector, consuming over 85% of output for foams, coatings, and adhesives in automotive and construction, remains dominant. Sustainability pushes greener production methods, like low-phosgene polycarbonates, while Asia-Pacific's industrialization—led by China and India—boosts capacities. Challenges include stringent regulations on handling due to toxicity and raw material price volatility.

Key Applications

Phosgene's applications span multiple sectors, with pharmaceuticals leading at $1.5 billion in 2024, projected to $2.1 billion by 2035. It produces therapeutic precursors, while agrochemicals ($1.5 billion by 2035) use it for herbicides supporting crop yields for a 9.7 billion population by 2050. Isocyanates production ($1.1 billion by 2035) drives polyurethanes, and polycarbonate for electronics/automotive adds momentum. Formulations include liquid for industrial use, gaseous for pharma/agro, and solid for niche high-purity needs.

Regional Insights

North America holds the largest share, valued at $1.5 billion in 2024 and reaching $2.1 billion by 2035, driven by advanced chemical infrastructure and pharma demand. Asia-Pacific surges due to rapid manufacturing growth in China/India, targeting $1.5 billion by 2035. Europe follows with steady gains from regulations like the Green Deal promoting safe practices, while South America and MEA grow gradually via industrialization.​

Major Players

Key companies include Mitsui Chemicals, Shin-Etsu Chemical, Covestro, BASF, and Lanxess, focusing on R&D for efficiency. Recent moves: Covestro-Lanxess partnership (Feb 2025) for low-phosgene tech; BASF's stake in Shin-Etsu (June 2025). Others like Huntsman, Dow, and Arkema innovate in sustainable alternatives, with Arkema's phosgene-free resin (Dec 2024).
