Global Grignard Reagents Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

Grignard reagents are organic magnesium halides RMgX containing magnesium-carbon bonds or their equilibrium mixtures with R2Mg and MgX2 in solution. This reagent is usually prepared by reacting a halogenated hydrocarbon with metallic magnesium in anhydrous ether or tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. Its general formula is RMgX, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group, and X represents chlorine, bromine, or iodine. For example, ether solutions of CH3MgI, C2H5MgCl, and C6H5MgBr are specific examples of Grignard reagents. In high-temperature synthesis, butyl ether or amyl ether may be used instead of ether as a solvent.

Major global Grignard reagent players include Sigma-Aldrich, Albemarle, CABB Chemicals, Weylchem and Neogen Chemicals. Globally, the top five players have a share of nearly 62 per cent by revenue. Asia Pacific is the world's largest market with a market share of about 39 percent, followed by North America and Europe with about 30 percent and 25 percent, respectively. From the perspective of product type, methyl magnesium chloride is the largest market segment, accounting for about 5% of the market share. From the perspective of product market application, chemical industry is the major downstream market of Grignard reagent, accounting for about 66% of the market size.
