세계의 염산 전기분해 시장 : 기술별, 용도별, 지역별 예측(-2030년)

The hydrochloric acid electrolysis market is expected to reach USD 1,009.4 million by 2030 from USD 865.9 million in 2025, at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. This continuous growth is attributed to the rising interest in sustainable production of chemicals, recycling and reuse of both chlorine and hydrogen recovery as by-products of hydrochloric acid, and the reuse of other environmentally harmful processes, such as mercury-based electrolysis, which most countries are phasing out.

Polyurethane (MDI/TDI), PVC, and specialty chemicals industries are adopting HCL electrolysis systems in their processes to enhance efficiency, minimize waste, and meet tougher environmental regulations. Even the adoption of technology is becoming more economical, especially in membrane and diaphragm-based electrolysis systems, and its applicability has increased in scope to cover a broader spectrum of applications and geographies.

"Diaphragm technology to be second fastest-growing segment in hydrochloric acid electrolysis market"

The second-fastest growing technology in the hydrochloric acid (HCL) electrolysis market is the diaphragm technology, and its growth is attributed to the inexpensive nature of technology, its availability in the industry, and the ability to facilitate processes that do not require high investments in capital. Although membrane technology is superior in terms of efficiency and environmental concerns, diaphragm cells present a good economic substitute to chemical manufacturers in cases where chlorine and hydrogen do not require the strictest purity and also in those areas where its application is needed. The technology uses the porous diaphragm to separate the anode and the cathode compartments, which do not mix gases, but enables the possibility of ions passing through. Its ease of design, low maintenance demands, and ability to fit on the existing infrastructure make it appealing to small-scale and mid-sized chemical plants that are interested in recovering chlorine in HCL without the high initial investments of the membrane systems. With increased interest in recycling HCL by-products and companies balancing between budget and ability to process large volumes, the use of the diaphragm technology will continue to grow as a viable, cost-effective solution.

"PVC production or chlorination to be second fastest-growing segment in hydrochloric acid electrolysis market"

The second-fastest growing application in the hydrochloric acid (HCL) electrolysis market is PVC production or chlorination, since it forms significant quantities of HCL as a by-product when hydrocarbons, such as ethylene, are chlorinated. With increasing worldwide demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) due to the growth in construction and the packaging industry, the generation of HCL is also increasing, which needs adequate, sustainable solutions to deal with and recycle it. Manufacturers can produce high-purity chlorine and hydrogen through HCL electrolysis and recycle the by-product in the upstream chlorination processes, decreasing the cost of raw materials and impacting the environment. Such a closed loop can not only promote operational efficiency but also fit the industry sustainability objectives and regulatory constraints to minimize hazardous waste. As PVC manufacture involves chlorinated processes, and the use of chlorine is holding up well, HCL electrolysis is rapidly growing in this application.

"Europe to be second fastest-growing regional market for hydrochloric acid electrolysis"

Europe is the second fastest-growing region of the hydrochloric acid (HCL) electrolysis market owing to a good regulatory framework to ensure sustainable and mercury-free chemical processes, and growing industry commitments to circular economy approaches. The region is rapidly abandoning conventional mercury-based electrolysis as stated at the Minamata Convention and the REACH regulation, which is encouraging a transition toward more cleaner technologies such as membrane-based HCL electrolysis. Major European-based chemical manufacturers are installing electrolysis plants to extract chlorine from HCL waste products, in MDI, TDI, and PVC production, to limit waste, minimize emissions, and boost supply chain security.
