Global Ortho-Dichlorobenzene Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Ortho-Dichlorobenzene market size is predicted to grow from US$ 100 million in 2025 to US$ 140 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2026 to 2032.

Ortho-dichlorobenzene (Abbreviated as ODCB) is a compound in which the hydrogens on the two adjacent rings of benzene are replaced by chlorine atoms after atom substitution. Its molecular formula is C6H4Cl2. The two main methods for producing o-dichlorobenzene from chlorobenzene are: one is to prepare dichlorobenzene through the catalytic chlorination of benzene, and then to separate o-dichlorobenzene; the other is Separation of mixed dichlorobenzene from the production of chlorinated benzene. Different by-products can be obtained by controlling the degree of chlorination, and dichlorobenzene can be obtained by any means. The composition ratio of the para-ortho isomers and their isomers is the same, and the para-ortho-position ratio is basically 2 ~ 3:1. Ortho-dichlorobenzene is an important raw material and intermediate application body for medicines, pesticides, and fuels.

In 2024, the global production of ortho-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) reached approximately 71,000 tons, with an average ex-factory price of around $1,300 per ton.

Global key players of ortho-dichlorobenzene include Jiangsu Yangnong Group, Kureha, Kutch Chemical Industries, Jiangsu Huaijiang, Aarti Industries, etc. The top five players hold a share about 58%. China is the largest producer, has a share about 44%, followed by India and Japan, with share 27% and 13%, respectively. The largest market is Asia-Pacific, with a share about 72%, followed by Europe and North America, with share 12% and 9%, separately.
