“Chlor-Alkali market expected to register CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

The global Chlor-Alkali market size is estimated to be USD 63.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 77.4 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.1% between 2021 and 2026. The chlor-alkali industry is one of the largest chemical industries, in terms of value and volume. The major chlor-alkali products are chlorine, caustic soda, and soda ash. The main technologies employed in the chlor-alkali process are membrane cell, diaphragm cell, and mercury cell for the production of chlorine and caustic soda. Chlorine and caustic soda are produced by the electrolysis of the aqueous solution of sodium chloride (common salt or NaCl). Soda ash is produced by the extraction and refining of trona ore (natural) and also through the Solvay process (synthetic). The chlor-alkali process is energy intensive. The electricity required for the electrolysis amounts to 40-50% of costs of production. The applications of chlor-alkali products are highly diverse in nature and are employed in various end-use industries. Steady Growth of Chemical industry across the globe and growing demand for water & wastewater treatment expects to drive the market during the forecast period. Growth from emerging countries and steady recovery of automotive sector are opportunities in chlor-alkali market.

“EDC/PVC application is projected to be the largest application segment for Chlorine in Chlor-Alkali market”
