The increasing demand for clean water is expected to propel the growth of the calcium hypochlorite market going forward. Clean water refers to water that is safe for human consumption and free from harmful contaminants and pathogens. Demand for clean water is rising due to population growth, economic development, shifting consumption patterns, and shrinking water resources caused by climate change and inefficient usage. Calcium hypochlorite plays a crucial role in water treatment as a powerful disinfectant that effectively eliminates harmful microorganisms, ensuring safe drinking water. For example, in March 2023, the World Economic Forum (WEF) reported that global water use is expected to increase by 20-30% by 2050 due to the rapidly growing need for fresh drinking water. Therefore, the increasing demand for clean water is driving the growth of the calcium hypochlorite market.

Major companies operating in the calcium hypochlorite market are focusing on developing dry-block calcium hypochlorite products to better serve customers and enhance competitiveness. Dry-block calcium hypochlorite is a solid, granular form of the compound that is easier to handle and store compared to liquid chlorine. For instance, in April 2024, SDS Limited, a UK-based water reuse technology specialist, introduced an all-in-one grey water recycling system designed to simplify and reduce costs for new developments. This grey water treatment system removes contaminants from household or commercial wastewater sources such as sinks, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers. The system uses intelligent chlorine dosing powered by dry-block calcium hypochlorite, offering safer handling and easier maintenance compared to traditional liquid chlorine systems. It is especially suited for medium-sized buildings, such as hotels with 50 to 150 rooms.
