Market Definition
Chemical element chlorine is a potent oxidizing agent utilized in the production of several goods in a variety of industries, including security and transportation, technology, health and safety, and nutrition. Sodium chloride, widely known as table salt, is the chlorine compound that is used most frequently. Chemically basic water may be used to dissolve elemental chlorine, which can then be used as disinfectants and anti-putrefaction agents.
Global Chlorine Market Dynamics
Drivers
- PVC is in greater demand for use in manufacturing applications related to building, automobiles, and composites
PVC is a material that is frequently used in infrastructure, building, and construction. Building components used in construction and utilities are frequently polymeric, either whole or in part. This may be used in a variety of products, including coatings, pipe systems, seals, wall panels, and roofing materials.
PVC comes in two different varieties: hard resins and flexible resins. With key end uses in fittings, pipe and fittings, windows, fences, roof tiles, and vehicle parts, rigid resins offer the majority of development potential. Shower curtains, wire and cable coating, film and sheeting, flooring, and synthetic leather items are all uses for flexible PVC. The metal cleaning, textile, and adhesives industries all utilize EDC as a solvent.
- Increasing end-use industry demand
Some of the reasons driving the expansion of the worldwide chlorine market include the growing chemical industry in developed nations, expanding end-user sectors, more manufacturing facilities, increased demand from the pharmaceutical industry, and increased demand from water treatment facilities. Chlorine is a crucial component in the production of pharmaceuticals. Future demand for prescript medicines is predicted to be driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an increase in respiratory infections, non-communicable diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Opportunities
- The crucial function of the chemical sector in rising economies
Today, the chemical sector is crucial to the development of a country's economy and considerably increases GDP. This is ascribed to the chemical industry's contribution to the production of a variety of necessary goods, including packaging, construction materials, food, drinks, and life-saving medical treatment. One of the main users of chlorine is the chemical industry, which produces a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, most notably hydrochloric acid and titanium dioxide. During the forecast period, emerging economies, including China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Thailand among others, are anticipated to experience a significant number of growth possibilities, therefore assisting the expansion of the chlorine market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Limitations on the use of chlorine
Chlorine is perfect for use in a range of end-use sectors, including the chemical, construction, and others, thanks to its exceptional durability, melting point, and beneficial characteristics. Its commercial expansion is nonetheless constrained since a certain body has control over how it is used. For instance, chlorine is poisonous and may be dangerous, according to the safety regulations for its application in water treatment facilities in India. In a facility for processing and storing chlorine, a catastrophe might occur suddenly. Furthermore, it says that such occurrences should be anticipated and that a strong mechanism should be in place to handle them effectively. Similar prohibitions on the use of chlorine are severely restricting market growth in other regions of the world.
