Chlor-Alkali Market to Witness Steady Growth Fueled by PVC Production, Water Treatment, and Chemical Manufacturing
The Chlor-Alkali Market is expanding steadily, supported by the rising demand for caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash across a range of industries. As a core segment of the chemical manufacturing sector, chlor-alkali products play a crucial role in applications such as PVC production, water treatment, paper manufacturing, detergents, and alumina refining.
Market Overview
The chlor-alkali process produces three key chemicals—chlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), and hydrogen—through the electrolysis of salt (sodium chloride) solution. These chemicals serve as essential feedstocks in numerous industrial processes.
Global demand for PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which requires chlorine as a primary raw material, is a significant driver of chlor-alkali consumption. Additionally, the growing focus on safe drinking water and wastewater treatment is boosting chlorine demand for disinfection purposes.
Key Growth Drivers
Construction Sector Growth – The rising use of PVC pipes, profiles, and fittings in infrastructure and housing projects is fueling chlorine consumption.
