Global Glycolonitrile Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Glycolonitrile market size is predicted to grow from US$ 24.4 million in 2025 to US$ 30.6 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2031.
Glycolonitrile, also known as hydroxyacetonitrile or formaldehyde cyanohydrin, is an organic compound with the chemical formula HOCH₂CN. It is the simplest cyanohydrin and is derived from formaldehyde. Glycolonitrile is a colorless liquid, soluble in water and ether, and has notable industrial value. However, due to its tendency to readily decompose into formaldehyde and the highly toxic hydrogen cyanide, it is classified as an extremely hazardous substance. Strict safety precautions are required for its handling and storage. It is commonly used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates, and chemical research.
Glycolonitrile is an organic compound primarily utilized in sectors such as dyes and pesticides. Currently, the global glycolonitrile market is experiencing steady growth, driven mainly by the ongoing development of the chemical industry and the increasing demand in downstream application areas.
In the future, the glycolonitrile market is expected to maintain its growth trajectory, with key drivers including: firstly, the continuous demand for end products like dyes and pesticides will boost the market demand for glycolonitrile; secondly, improvements in production processes and technological innovations may enhance product quality and production efficiency, thereby strengthening market competitiveness.
However, the market also faces certain challenges. The high toxicity and instability of glycolonitrile impose stringent requirements on its storage and transportation, increasing operational difficulties and costs. Additionally, increasingly stringent environmental regulations may restrict its production and use in certain regions. Therefore, achieving efficient production and application of glycolonitrile while ensuring safety and environmental compliance will be a critical focus for the industry moving forward.
