Chloromethane production in India is stable and almost matches demand, and imports are negligible. The leading producers are GACL (Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited), SRF Limited, Chemplast Sanmar Ltd, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) and Epigral (formerly Meghmani Finechem).

Imports fell after two plants at Dahej, Gujarat, came on line: GACL's 105,000 MT per annum plant, dedicated in October 2022, and SRF's new plant, commissioned in November 2022.

Worldwide, demand for chloromethane as a chemical intermediate is rising, and the market will grow with it. China, the United States, Western Europe and Japan use the bulk of it; India comes next.

Asia Pacific should become the leading regional market, with most of its demand from China and India. Fast infrastructure building and rising disposable incomes in those emerging economies will drive it.
