China and India are the leading exporters of 2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth aligned with steady demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates sectors—trends reflected in recent 2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride prices.
2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, acrid odor; it is moisture-sensitive and moderately volatile, with a boiling point of approximately 230–232 °C. It is classified as an aromatic acyl chloride and serves primarily as a reactive organic intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its principal industrial use is in the production of agrochemicals—particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators—and pharmaceuticals, where it functions as a key building block for introducing the 2-chlorobenzoyl moiety into active ingredients. It is also employed in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and specialty polymers requiring controlled aromatic acylation.
