The global chlor-alkali market reached a value of US$ 63.2 billion in 2021. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 85.8 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, the analyst is continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different End-use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Chlor-alkali refers to the process of producing chlorine and caustic soda by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of other sodium and chlorine-based derivates or products like chlorinated paraffin, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, bleaching powder, and hydrogen gas. At present, it finds extensive application in numerous End-use industries, such as chemicals, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals and beauty and personal care.
At present, there is a rise in the demand for caustic soda and its derivates around the world. This can be accredited to its considerable application in the production of paper and pulp, textiles and the synthesis of many organic and inorganic chemicals. Apart from this, the flourishing automobile and construction industries worldwide are contributing to market growth. Furthermore, the growing upgradation and rapid industrialization is encouraging leading market players to invest in research and development (R&D) activities and make allied products. In addition, on account of increasing environmental concerns, these players are employing membrane cell technology, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Besides this, there is a significant rise in the utilization of chlorine in healthcare facilities for hyper chlorination of potable water to prevent Legionella colonization, chlorination of water distributed systems used in hemodialysis centers, disinfection of laundry, cleaning of surfaces, local use to decontaminate blood spills, decontamination of medical waste prior to dental therapy and disposal. Other major factors, including the escalating demand for water treatment due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and increasing production capacity and exports of textiles and apparel, are projected to impel the growth of the market further in the upcoming years.
This report provides an analysis of the key trends in each sub-segment of the global chlor-alkali market, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country level from 2022-2027. The report has categorized the market based on product, production process and application.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined along with the profiles of the key players being AGC Inc., Akzo Nobel N.V., Covestro AG, Formosa Plastics Corporation, INOVYN Chlorvinyls Limited (INEOS AG), Kemira Oyj, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Olin Corporation, PCC SE, Tosoh Corporation, Vynova Group (The International Chemical Investors Group) and Westlake Chemical Corporation (TTWF LP).
