The increase in demand for liquid chlorine from water purification, agriculture, chemical processing, and pulp & paper industries is expected to serve as a crucial growth factor for the growth of the liquid chlorine market. Also, surge in usage of liquid chlorine in the production of pharmaceutical drugs is another key factor that fosters the liquid chlorine market growth during the forecast period. However, the health hazards associated with liquid chlorine are anticipated to hamper the growth of the liquid chlorine market. On the contrary, growth of the chemical industry is expected to generate lucrative opportunities for the global liquid chlorine industry.
The liquid chlorine market is segmented into type, application and region. On the basis of type, the market is categorized into sodium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, and others. On the basis of application, the market is classified into water treatment, agriculture, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, plastic, textile, paints & coatings, and others. Region wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The liquid chlorine market share is analyzed across all significant regions and countries.
The major players operating in the global liquid chlorine market include AGC Inc., Atul Ltd, Clean Plus chemicals Ltd, DCW limited, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Global Heavy Chemicals Ltd, Hamilton chemicals, Meghmani Finechem Limited, Occidental Chemical Corporation, SHOWA DENKO K.K, Tata Chemicals, Toagosie Co. Ltd, Vencorex, Vynova group, and Weifang Yaxing Chemical Co.
Asia-Pacific is projected to register a robust growth during the forecast period. In Asia-Pacific, liquid chlorine contributes to public health and safety, innovative technologies, and nutrition. It can be found in blood bags, medical gadgets, and surgical sutures, in the pharmaceutical sector. It is also beneficial in killing pathogens such as salmonella, campylobacter, and norovirus. It helps decrease cholesterol, alleviate arthritic pain, and alleviate allergy symptoms. These associated benefits boost the demand for liquid chlorine in the pharmaceutical industry and is projected to drive the growth of the liquid chlorine market in the region.
The sodium hypochlorite segment dominated the global liquid chlorine market in terms of revenue, in 2021. Sodium hypochlorite is made up of a blend of liquid chlorine, water, and sodium hydroxide. It is used to wash big surfaces such as tables, kitchen counters, and floors. Sodium hypochlorite for swimming pools is usually manufactured at concentrations of 10% or 12.5%. Such demand for sodium hypochlorite is anticipated to increase the growth of the liquid chlorine market during the forecast period.
The water treatment segment dominated the global liquid chlorine market in 2021. Liquid chlorine is used in water treatment to disinfect water and is part of the sanitation process for sewage and industrial waste. It is also used to eliminate parasites, bacteria, and viruses in drinking water.
COVID-19 Analysis:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had extraordinary consequences on the end-use industries of liquid chlorine. It also has an influence on the supply of pharmaceutical (mostly from Asia-Pacific region), as well as the import and export of pharmaceutical products, where demand has increased to strengthen people's hygiene. Health concerns were not taken seriously before the COVID 19 outbreak. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the health awareness among the populace has grown and the pharmaceutical sector has grown during the pandemic. As per the RBI, the pharmaceutical export market turnover was $24.4 billion in 2020-21, witnessing an 18.1% (y-o-y) growth. India’s domestic pharmaceutical market is estimated at $41 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $65 billion by 2024 and further expected to reach $130 billion by 2030.
Further, liquid chlorine is used as a pool sanitizer, which is used to keep the water clean and pollutants such as fungus from developing. It also helps prevent the spread of illnesses such as dysentery, fever, and other water-borne illnesses disorders. Furthermore, increased sales of pulp and paper, disinfectant and water treatment items worldwide increase the demand for liquid chlorine in the market during the pandemic. Moreover, the pandemic has called for the augmented usage of disinfectants in transportation, public facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, wastewater treatment facilities, and homes. Therefore, the above mentioned factors are predicted to surge the growth of the liquid chlorine market during the COVID-19 pandemic.
