Hydrazine Market Analysis
The Hydrazine Market size is estimated at 480.73 kilotons in 2025, and is expected to reach 604.26 kilotons by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.68% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as there was a slowdown in production and mobility, wherein agrochemical and other industries were forced to delay their production due to containment measures and economic disruptions. Currently, the market has recovered from the pandemic. The market reached pre-pandemic levels in 2022 and is expected to grow steadily in the future.
- The major factor driving the market studied is the increasing demand from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
- On the flip side, the highly toxic nature of hydrazine (such as it can cause skin burns, eye damage, etc.) is hindering the growth of the market.
- The use of hydrazine as an alternative to hydrogen in fuel cells is expected to offer various opportunities for the growth of the market.
- Asia-Pacific dominates the market across the world, with the largest consumption from countries such as China and India.
Hydrazine Market Trends
Increasing Demand from Pharmaceutical Sector
- Hydrazine is used as a precursor in several pharmaceutical applications. For example, hydrazine sulfate is used in the treatment of cancer and as a treatment for body wasting associated with cachexia disease.
- Further, Isoniazid, an antibiotic for the treatment of Tuberculosis, is prepared using hydrazine. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the greatest number of Tuberculosis patients was found in six Asian countries, namely, India (27%), China (9%), Indonesia (8%), the Philippines (6%), Pakistan (6%), and Bangladesh (4%).
- The global pharmaceutical industry is currently driven by innovations and positive implications for the global population's health. The industry has been witnessing decent growth over the past several years.
- According to AstraZeneca, the global pharmaceutical sales in 2022 were USD 1,214 billion, representing a growth of 8.4% compared to the previous year.
- The United States, China, India, and Germany are the largest pharmaceutical industries in the world. CPHI (Convention on Pharmaceutical Ingredients) states that the United States remains the world's largest pharmaceutical market, accounting for 41% of global pharmaceutical spending.
- The United States is home to large pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, drug developers, and a center of innovation. Owing to years of investment in research and development, the industry is prepared to develop therapeutics and vaccines. Further, according to AstraZeneca, in 2022, the United States had 49.8% of global pharmaceutical sales.
- Therefore, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
