Global Chlor-Alkali Market Overview

Global Chlor-Alkali Market was valued at USD 98.64 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 137.98 billion by the year 2032, at a CAGR of 3.8%.

The global chlor-alkali market continues to exhibit robust growth, driven by increasing demand across various end-use industries such as chemicals, textiles, and water treatment. The market's expansion is fueled by the rising need for chlorine and caustic soda, the primary products of chlor-alkali manufacturing, in diverse applications including PVC production, pulp and paper manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the adoption of membrane cell technology, which offers higher energy efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to mercury cell technology, is propelling market growth. Geographically, Asia Pacific remains a key contributor to market growth, attributed to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and infrastructure development in countries like China and India. Furthermore, stringent environmental regulations promoting sustainable production practices are reshaping the market landscape, encouraging manufacturers to invest in eco-friendly technologies and processes. However, fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for salt and electricity, coupled with volatility in end-user industries, pose challenges to market players. Overall, the chlor-alkali market is poised for steady expansion, driven by evolving industrial dynamics and sustainability imperatives.

Furthermore, increased utilization in food, and paper & pulp industries, growth in requirements from the construction sector and automobile industry, rising demand for chlorine and its derivatives are some of the factors that are turning the chlor-alkali market. In addition, the caustic chlorine industry is turned by the demand-supply of chlorine; however, in India, the major demand driver is caustic soda. There is an urgent requirement to promote chlorine derivatives industry; vibrant bulk chlorine consuming Petro-chemical industry is needed to apply surplus chlorine, in products such as PVC, Propylene Oxide/Glycol, Chloro-Methanes/ HCFC/PTFE, Epichlorohydrin, Polycarbonates, TDI/ MDI, TiO2, DCP, CaCl2, etc. 

Chlor-Alkali Market- Comprehensive Study Report & Trends

Market Dynamics And Factors For The Chlor-Alkali Market

Drivers:

The Utilization in the Water Treatment Industry

The growing requirement for the integration or mixing of water treatment plants in the chemical industries owing to the environmental regulations by the government globally. The water treatment industry provides lucrative opportunities for vendors in the water treatment chemicals market. Chlor-alkali is majorly utilized for water neutralization, in case of low pH value. Chlor-alkali such as sodium hydroxide increases the pH value of water and neutralizes it without causing any hardness in the water. Growth in the number of water treatment plants is hastening the chlor-alkali market.

Growing Demand from the Soaps & Detergents Industry

The growth attributes for the chlor-alkali market in the soaps & detergents industry can be measured by the surfactants market. Moreover, the demand for surfactants is projected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Chlor-alkali is used in the manufacturing of soaps & detergents. So, the soaps & detergents industry growth is enhancing the requirements for chlor-alkali or caustic soda, which is reflected in the growth prospects in the chlor-alkali market.

Significant Growth of the Chemical industry

Chlor-alkali products such as caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash act as a major role in the chemical industry. These products are necessary raw materials in major bulk chemical industries and are applied in various industrial and production value chains. The products are used in various applications such as paper & pulp, plastics, alumina, and others and find applications in diverse end-use industries includes construction, automotive, and others. Hence, growing chemical output and strong economic conditions in developing economies are anticipated to turn the growth of the chlor-alkali market. As per PlasticsEurope, global plastic production in 2019 was 368 million tons. APAC dominated the market registering for 51% of the worldwide production.

Restraints:

The environmental effect of the chlor-alkali market is one of the hampering factors for the market. As chlorine is highly toxic, its leakage and discharge in the environment are closely witnessed. The presence of dioxin in the pulp- and paper-based products and chlorinated organic compounds in pulp mill effluents are major concerns for environmental safety. Chlorine derivatives also have harmful impacts as these are responsible for ozone layer depletion and thus application is being restricted. The mercury cell process, if used for the production of chlorine and caustic soda, emits mercury through the discharge, which, if not treated before inclining to the environment, can poison freshwater resources. As per the Euro Chlor, European chlor-alkali industries phased out the mercury cell process by 2019, which is anticipated to lead to some capacity shutdowns.  All these aforesaid concerns play as moderation for the growth of the chlor-alkali market.

Opportunities:

The (PVC) Poly Vinyl Chloride market is flourishing owing to its different usages in the production of PVC stabilizers, PVC resins, and PVC pipe. Chlor-alkali is utilized in the manufacturing of PVC, the trade value of polymers of vinyl chloride. Moreover, an estimated 35% of Europe's Chlorine production is utilized for the production of PVC. The bulk of global production of PVC is currently produced using the chemical compound ethylene in combination with chlorine to manufacture EDC (ethylene dichloride or 1,2-dichloroethane). EDC is utilized to make vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and subsequently used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A substantial part of this trade value was attributed to PVC trade, which has produced opportunities in the chlor-alkali market.

Market Segmentation

Segmentation Analysis of Chlor-Alkali Market:

Based on the Product Type, the caustic soda segment is expected to hold the maximum Chlor-alkali market share over the forecast period. Due to growth in glass production and the rise in applications of glass applications in various verticals. Soda ash is a developing segment attributing to decent demand. Aluminum demand is rapidly increasing as its use is diversified and has different usages in various areas such as building and architectural sectors, food and chemical industries, transport, packaging, machinery and equipment, electrical sector, consumer durables, and also in the defense sector and wagon making by Indian Railways, automobile sector, electrification, and power infrastructure projects.

Based on the End-Users, the water treatment segment is expected to register the maximum market share during the forecast period. As urbanization escalates, so is the demand for wastewater treatment. Societal and environmental pressures have provoked industries, households, and agricultural stakeholders alike to overcome wastewater generation and thoroughly treat the same before discharge. Worldwide, 56% of household wastewater flows were safely treated in 2020, as per the UN-Water. Countries are attempting to grow the same to 100%, for which demand for efficient wastewater treatment systems is inclining. Therefore, preference for chlor-alkali based treatment is anticipated to surge in the upcoming years.

Based on the Production Process, the chlor-alkali market is classified into membrane cell process, diaphragm cell process, and mercury cell process. In 2021, the membrane cell process segment is expected to hold maximum chlor-alkali market share as it consumes less energy with low capital investment.
