Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical compound primarily used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. It is commonly found in household bleach and swimming pool sanitation products. This white, crystalline solid releases chlorine gas when dissolved in water, making it effective for eliminating bacteria, viruses, and algae.
The main forms of calcium hypochlorite include powder, granular, and pellets. Powder refers to a dry, bulky solid consisting of very fine particles that can flow freely when shaken or tilted. The production processes for calcium hypochlorite include the calcium process and sodium process, which find applications in various industries such as detergents, agrochemicals, household cleaners, water treatment, pulp and paper, food and beverages, textiles, pools and spas, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the calcium hypochlorite market by increasing the cost of chlorine derivatives, calcium compounds, and transportation of hazardous materials. These higher costs have affected water treatment, pool sanitation, and industrial disinfection applications, particularly in developing regions reliant on imports. Asia-Pacific and Latin America have seen notable pricing volatility due to trade barriers. Manufacturers are addressing these challenges by expanding local production, improving storage stability, and optimizing distribution networks. Tariffs have also encouraged investments in regional chemical manufacturing capabilities.
The calcium hypochlorite market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides calcium hypochlorite market statistics, including calcium hypochlorite industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a calcium hypochlorite market share, detailed calcium hypochlorite market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the calcium hypochlorite industry. This calcium hypochlorite market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The calcium hypochlorite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.37 billion in 2025 to $6.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of public water treatment infrastructure, expansion of swimming pool installations, demand for bleaching agents, use in textile processing, need for industrial disinfectants.
The calcium hypochlorite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing water quality regulations, growth of urban infrastructure, rising hygiene awareness, expansion of wastewater treatment, growth of food safety standards. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for water disinfection solutions, growing use in pool and spa sanitation, expansion of municipal water treatment applications, increasing adoption in food and beverage hygiene, focus on high purity and stable formulations.
The increasing demand for clean water is expected to propel the growth of the calcium hypochlorite market going forward. Clean water refers to water that is safe for human consumption and free from harmful contaminants and pathogens. Demand for clean water is rising due to population growth, economic development, shifting consumption patterns, and shrinking water resources caused by climate change and inefficient usage. Calcium hypochlorite plays a crucial role in water treatment as a powerful disinfectant that effectively eliminates harmful microorganisms, ensuring safe drinking water. For example, in March 2023, the World Economic Forum (WEF) reported that global water use is expected to increase by 20-30% by 2050 due to the rapidly growing need for fresh drinking water. Therefore, the increasing demand for clean water is driving the growth of the calcium hypochlorite market.
Major companies operating in the calcium hypochlorite market are focusing on developing dry-block calcium hypochlorite products to better serve customers and enhance competitiveness. Dry-block calcium hypochlorite is a solid, granular form of the compound that is easier to handle and store compared to liquid chlorine. For instance, in April 2024, SDS Limited, a UK-based water reuse technology specialist, introduced an all-in-one grey water recycling system designed to simplify and reduce costs for new developments. This grey water treatment system removes contaminants from household or commercial wastewater sources such as sinks, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers. The system uses intelligent chlorine dosing powered by dry-block calcium hypochlorite, offering safer handling and easier maintenance compared to traditional liquid chlorine systems. It is especially suited for medium-sized buildings, such as hotels with 50 to 150 rooms.
In June 2024, Hawkins, Inc., a US-based specialty chemicals and ingredients company, acquired Intercoastal Trading, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Hawkins' distribution network for water-treatment chemicals and equipment along the US East Coast and strengthen its overall Water Treatment business. Intercoastal Trading, Inc. is a US-based supplier of water-treatment chemicals and equipment.
