The increasing need for hydrochloric acid from the steel industry is the key driving force behind the hydrochloric acid market globally. Iron oxide and scales are removed off the surface of steel with hydrochloric acid. As a result, rising steel demand will drive market expansion. Hydrochloric acid is used in a variety of activities, including food processing, mineral processing and pool sanitation.

The market has grown significantly in recent years as construction activity has increased in areas such as California, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania in U.S. Its widespread use in the production of products such as corn syrup, soy sauce and food processing applications drove the need for hydrochloric acid in 2020. HCL is used when drilling oil wells to increase gas and crude oil penetration.

In 2023, North America is expected to be the second-dominant region with over 20% of the global hydrochloric acid market. North America will grow at a healthy rate due to rising water treatment demand. The EPA is still enforcing administrative directives to assure safe drinking water for public water systems. Furthermore, the introduction of the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021 by U.S. government in May 2021, with funding of US$ 35.0 million, is likely to generate growth prospects for this industry.

Dynamics

Growing Demand for Water Treatment

Hydrochloric acid is commonly used in water treatment procedures for pH control, disinfection and chemical precipitation. As worries about water quality and pollution from the environment grow, so does the demand for water treatment solutions, including hydrochloric acid, in municipal and industrial water treatment facilities.

The Environment Protection Agency established criteria for the quality of drinking water supply under the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and the agency, in collaboration with its partners, executes a variety of financial and technical programs to protect drinking water quality. The Clean Water Act provides the essential framework for managing pollution discharge into waters and regulating surface water quality standards. Thus, increasing emphasis on the quality of water will boost the global HCL market growth.

Rising Steel Production

In the steel business, hydrochloric acid is used to remove rust, scale and other impurities from steel products through pickling and surface treatment. The rise of the construction, automotive and infrastructure sectors increases demand for steel, which raises the demand for hydrochloric acid in steel production facilities globally. As a result, demand for acid increased in some steel plants. It is critical to R&D projects and allows for innovative solutions in other industries.

In January 2022, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India signed a deal with the Gujarat government to invest US$ 5,893.25 million at its Hazira steel manufacturing facility. The initiative seeks to increase production capacity to 18 million metric tons per year from 8.6 million MMTPA. The contract extended the expansion opportunities for the global HCL market.

Environmental and Regulatory Concerns

Compliance with environmental and safety requirements has a substantial impact on the hydrochloric acid business. Stringent rules governing emissions, waste disposal and worker safety force businesses to invest in pollution control systems and follow tight operating procedures, raising production costs and compliance burdens. Government-imposed trade restrictions, export taxes or import duties increase costs, hinder market access and limit growth potential for manufacturers and exporters of hydrochloric acid.

Hydrochloric acid is a caustic and dangerous chemical that, if mistreated or released into the environment negatively impact human health and environmental health. Concerns about the health and environmental implications of hydrochloric acid consumption led to tougher regulations, public opposition and the adoption of alternative chemicals or technology in specific applications.
