Global Chlorine Market Overview
The global chlorine market size was worth US$ 41.68 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 63.26 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.35% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Chlorine is a strongly reactive element and a potent oxidant, with the highest electron affinity and third-highest electronegativity on the Pauling scale, trailing only oxygen and fluorine. Electric current is passed through a salt solution to create chlorine. Electrolysis is a process that produces chlorine, caustic soda, hydrogen and chlorine. Chlorine is the most widely produced compound on the planet.
Chlorine is most commonly employed as a bleach in producing paper and fabric, but it also produces insecticides (insect killers), rubber and solvents. Chlorine is used to destroy hazardous germs in drinking water and swimming pool water. It's also employed in treating industrial waste and sewage as part of the sanitation process. When chlorine bleach is used with other cleaning chemicals, it can produce chlorine gas. Chlorine was utilized as a choking (pulmonary) agent during World War I.
Global Chlorine Market Dynamics
In the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride, chlorine is a significant raw element. PVC consumption is expected to expand because of rising building, automotive, composite manufacturing and water treatment applications. The harmful health effects of chlorination, on the other hand, may limit the market growth.
Increasing demand for water treatment
The need for treated water for sanitation and drinking has expanded dramatically in recent years, a trend that will continue in the chlorine industry in the future years. Emerging economies like India, Thailand and Brazil are increasingly focusing on boosting public awareness about the dangers of drinking unclean water and its involvement in spreading diseases like cholera, typhoid and Hepatitis E & A. Because chlorine can kill germs and other diseases, it is increasingly used in water treatment.
The compound is increasingly used to purify water in swimming pools and irrigation systems. In addition, numerous countries' governments are enacting tight regulations to regulate the supply of treated, clean and safe water. These reasons are expected to increase the use of the chemical, propelling the market forward.
Mushrooming consumption of PVC
Chlorine is utilized extensively in the chlorination process required to make PVC. The element's use in PVC has several advantages, including increased melt viscosity and enhanced thermal stability during the manufacturing process. As a result, chlorine is widely utilized in PVC, one of the key market drivers.
PVC consumption is increasing due to the growing demand for siding and piping applications in the building and construction industry, windshield system parts in the automobile industry and non-breakable containers in the medical industry, all of which are driving up chlorine demand around the world.
The hazardous impact of chlorination
Pretreating water with chlorine to decrease biofouling is the most popular disinfection method. Despite its widespread use, chlorination has significant drawbacks, including the generation of disinfection by-products and ineffectiveness against certain microorganisms. While chlorine effectively eliminates most toxins in water, it also adds other types of toxins, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). When chlorine is put into the water supply and combined with other naturally existing elements, THMs are formed. THMs can cause asthma, bladder cancer and heart disease if they get into body systems.
The main disadvantages of chlorination include limited protozoa protection, decreased disinfection efficiency in turbid water, potential taste and odor objections, the need to establish solution quality control and the long-term impacts of chlorination by-products.
The chlorine demand has decreased due to a nationwide lockdown implemented to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Countries worldwide were focused on flattening the infection curve, which has resulted in lockdowns in many countries, stranding millions of people at home. It resulted in the closure of businesses and production & manufacturing facilities, with no economic activity.
Furthermore, government resources devoted to importing or manufacturing vaccines impacted investments in other industrial manufacturing sectors such as plastics, chemicals and pulp & paper. However, chlorine demand improved steadily post the lifting up of lockdown limitations.
Global Chlorine Market Segment Analysis
