EDC, also known as 1, 2-dichloroethane, is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant odor and a sweet taste. Ethylene and chlorine are the basic raw materials used in the production of EDC. EDC is produced by the chlorination of ethylene through direct chlorination or oxychlorination. Over 98% of the EDC is used as a chemical intermediate for the manufacture of VCM, which is used in PVC production. Also, EDC is used in the production of various industrial and consumer products.

Agricultural enzymes are complex protein molecules derived from sources such as plant or animal tissues and microbes. They accelerate chemical reactions and catalyze biochemical reactions that do not occur naturally. They not only provide nutrition to plants, but also help fight pests and diseases. Based on the type, agricultural enzymes are segmented into carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, and others. They are classed as fertility products, growth-enhancing products, control products, and others.

Surfactants are compounds that reduce the surface pressure between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. They are amphiphilic in nature, so they are used as emulsifying agents, detergents, and dispersants. Surfactants integrated with living cells or micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeast are called bio-surfactants. Bio-surfactants are manufactured using oleochemical raw materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats, sucrose, and glucose. Biosurfactants have emerged as the most versatile type of bio-process chemical and are widely used in industries such as cosmetics, personal care, bioremediation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing.

Bio-alcohols are environmentally-friendly organic compounds produced through the fermentation of sugar or cellulose. The global bio-alcohols market was valued at $20.784 billion in 2014. Technavio expects the market to experience steady growth, posting a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period. In 2014, Europe led the market with a share of 54%, followed by North America and APAC with shares of 23% and 18%, respectively.
