Hydrazine is a toxic and colorless sensitizer. In the anhydrous form, it is irritating, damaging the central nervous system and causing seizures and tumors. Unlike ammonia, it has a pungent odor and is a powerful reducing agent that is highly explosive in an unstable state. This chemical is mainly used for water treatment and polymerization. It is also used in manufacture of gas precursors for automobile airbags and as rocket fuel.
The global hydrazine market is driven primarily by increasing demand from end-use industries such as polymers, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and water treatments. Hydrazine is mainly used as a water treatment, polymerization, and foaming agent. Growth of the aerospace industry and increase in space exploration in recent years are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. In addition, rapid urbanization, growing world population, changing climatic conditions, and declining arable land have led to food shortages and increased demand for pesticides in agriculture, which drives the market growth. In addition, hydrazine use is increasing due to strict policies by governments on use of flammable fuels to reduce carbon emissions to environment. As an agent for many transition metals and non-metals such as arsenic, selenium, tellurium, uranium and plutonium, it has a wide range of applications in the industry.
Hydrazine is used to extract precious ores and refine metals such as gold, platinum, and silver as part of refining process. Use of hydrazine for purification results in faster recovery and higher purity. Wastewater treatment uses hydrazine to remove pollutants and heavy metals. This improves productivity, selectivity, and reliability of wastewater treatment applications. Exposure to hydrazine causes headaches, nausea, and throat irritation. Health concerns are expected to impede growth of the hydrazine market and pose challenges for industry participants during the forecast period. Increase in demand for fuel cells and rise in use of hydrazine in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate is expected to open new avenues and provide favorable opportunities for industry participants during the forecast period.
The global hydrazine market is segmented on the basis of application and region.
By application, the hydrazine market is classified into halocarbons pharmaceuticals, water treatment, agrochemicals, blowing agents, and others. The global hydrazine market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share of the total revenue in 2020, followed by North America and Europe. High adoption of hydrazine products in the region would continue to propel the hydrazine market size, owing to presence of huge population base and presence of many developing countries in this region.
Key players operating in the global hydrazine market are Arkema Inc., Bayer AG, Fisons plc, Arrow Fine Chemicals, Arch Chemicals, Inc., Nippon Carbide Industries Co. Inc., Japan Finechem Company, Inc., Lanxess AG, Lansdowne Chemicals, and Hidkim. The other players in the value chain include Chemtex Specialty Limited, Palm Commodities International Inc., Seidler Chemical Company, Charkit Chemical Corporation, BOC Sciences, Spacechem LLC, GFS Chemicals Inc., Chemicals Incorporated, Haviland Enterprises Inc., Layson Bio, Inc., Spectrum Chemicals and Laboratory Products, and Mil-Spec Industries Corpare competing for the share of the market through product launch, joint venture, partnership, and expanding the production capabilities to meet the future demand for the hydrazine market during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments, and infrastructure companies. Restrictions on international trade and lockdown regulations on operations of the chemicals industry are projected to limit short term demand in the market. Further, foam manufacturers are being forced to shut down or limit production processes for non-essential applications. However, demand for hydrazine hydrate in pharmaceutical and water treatment segments are unlikely to be affected by the coronavirus crisis. Applications as pharma intermediates and demand for potable water are expected to help to partially mitigate any losses arising during this time.
