Hydrazine Hydrate Market Share Research Report 2020 Global Demand And Forecasts To 2027

[Ram Vasekar]

Hydrazine hydrate is an inorganic chemical compound, produced by reacting sodium hypochlorite with ammonia or urea. It is highly toxic and corrosive in nature and may react explosively with heavy metal oxides and dehydrating agents. The product is used as a reducing agent in analytical reactions and as a solvent for many inorganic compounds. It is also used as a propellant for rocket engines.

The global hydrazine hydrate market has been classified on the basis of concentration level, application, and region. Based on the concentration level, the global hydrazine hydrate market can be divided into 24%-35%, 40%-55%, 60%-85%, and 100%. Among these, hydrazine hydrate with a concentration in the range 60%-85% accounted for the largest share in 2020 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to its widespread applications in the production of veterinary drugs and blowing agents, chemical synthesis, and polypropylene catalysts. In addition to this, the product finds application in the manufacturing of hydrazine salts from inorganic acids.

Based on application, the global hydrazine hydrate market has been segmented into agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, polymerization and blowing agents, water treatment, and others. Among these, the polymerization and blowing agents segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to retain its dominance during the assessment period, owing to the surging demand for the product in polymer applications in electronic gadgets, automobile, and footwear industries. Hydrazine hydrate derivatives, such as azodicarbonamide and azobisisobutyronitrile are widely used as polymerization initiators and low temperature blowing agents. The agrochemicals is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR in the coming years owing to the large consumer base and surging demand for fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides.
