The global Chlor-Alkali Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 247,874.3 KT in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.11% over the forecast period 2022-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Chlor-Alkali products include chlorine, caustic soda, and soda ash, which are widely used in various industries such as chemicals, textiles, paper and pulp, water treatment, and others. These products play a crucial role in manufacturing chemical compounds and are used as key raw materials in the production of degreasers, detergents, and solvents. The growing demand for chemicals and petrochemicals across industries is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the increase in water treatment activities and the rising need for clean drinking water are also contributing to the market growth.
Market key trends:
One key trend in the Chlor-Alkali market is the increasing adoption of membrane cell technology over the mercury cell technology. Membrane cell technology offers various advantages such as higher energy efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and improved product quality. It eliminates the need for mercury, which is hazardous to the environment and human health. The membrane cell technology also reduces operating costs and allows for better control of the chlor-alkali process. As a result, many manufacturers are shifting towards membrane cell technology, leading to the phasing out of mercury cell technology. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, driving the growth of the Chlor-Alkali market.
