클로르 알칼리 시장 보고서 : 제품, 생산 공정, 용도, 지역별(2025-2033년)

The global chlor-alkali market size reached USD 73.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 107.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.15% during 2025-2033.

Chlor-alkali refers to the process of producing chlorine and caustic soda by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. It is widely utilized in the manufacturing of other sodium and chlorine-based derivates or products like chlorinated paraffin, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, bleaching powder, and hydrogen gas. At present, it finds extensive application in numerous end use industries, such as chemicals, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals and beauty and personal care.

Chlor-Alkali Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the demand for caustic soda and its derivates around the world. This can be accredited to its considerable application in the production of paper and pulp, textiles and the synthesis of many organic and inorganic chemicals. Apart from this, the flourishing automobile and construction industries worldwide are contributing to market growth. Furthermore, the growing upgradation and rapid industrialization is encouraging leading market players to invest in research and development (R&D) activities and make allied products. In addition, on account of increasing environmental concerns, these players are employing membrane cell technology, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Besides this, there is a significant rise in the utilization of chlorine in healthcare facilities for hyper chlorination of potable water to prevent Legionella colonization, chlorination of water distributed systems used in hemodialysis centers, disinfection of laundry, cleaning of surfaces, local use to decontaminate blood spills, decontamination of medical waste prior to dental therapy and disposal. Other major factors, including the escalating demand for water treatment due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and increasing production capacity and exports of textiles and apparel, are projected to impel the growth of the market further in the upcoming years.
