China and Germany are the leading exporters of benzoyl chloride, collectively accounting for a substantial share of global shipments, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Benzoyl chloride prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, reflecting consistent industrial demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Export volumes from China increased modestly in 2023–2024, while U.S. imports rose by approximately 5% year-on-year, indicating sustained procurement activity despite flat Benzoyl chloride prices.
Benzoyl chloride (CAS 98-88-4) is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, irritating odor and high volatility. It is an aromatic acyl chloride and a reactive organic intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as a benzoylating agent in the synthesis of esters, amides, and peroxides. Key applications include the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g., benzoic acid derivatives and local anesthetics), dyes, photoinitiators, and polymer additives such as benzoyl peroxide for PVC and polyester resin curing. It is also employed in the manufacture of agrochemical intermediates and specialty coatings.
