Chlorine Market Forecast to 2030 - Global Analysis by Application and End-Use Industry

List of Tables

The chlorine market size was valued at US$ 19.98 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 26.77 billion by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Chlorine is a highly versatile chemical with diverse applications across various industries. It is used in water treatment, PVC manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, chemical manufacturing, and many other sectors. This broad spectrum of applications makes it challenging for a single substitute to cover all the different uses of chlorine, further driving the chlorine market growth. Chlorine is used in the chemical industry for various applications due to its unique chemical properties. It is a valuable building block and oxidizing agent contributing to synthesizing numerous chemical compounds and products. Chlorine is employed as a reactant in organic synthesis to introduce chlorine atoms into organic molecules. Chlorination reactions involve replacing hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms in organic compounds, forming chlorinated organic compounds, such as chloroalkanes and chlorobenzenes. These compounds find applications as intermediates in producing various chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. In addition, chlorine is used to produce important chlorinated intermediates such as chlorine dioxide (CIO2) and chloramine. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent and serves as a bleach and disinfectant. Furthermore, chlorine is a critical component in the chlor-alkali process, which produces chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen gas through the electrolysis of brine. Thus, increasing demand from end-use industries is expected to bolster the chlorine market growth.

In terms of end-use industry, the chlorine market is bifurcated into water treatment, chemicals, pulp & paper, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and others. The pharmaceuticals segment is expected to register highest CAGR in the chlorine market from 2022 to 2030. Chlorine and chlorine-based compounds play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, contributing to the synthesis of various medications and pharmaceutical products. Chlorine-containing compounds serve as essential intermediates and reagents in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, enabling the production of a wide range of drugs. Chlorine synthesizes many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), primarily biologically active components in medications. These APIs form the basis of many drugs used to treat medical conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, and respiratory disorders. In addition, chlorine's role as a halogen allows it to participate in halogenation reactions. Furthermore, chlorine-based compounds are used to manufacture antiseptics and disinfectants. These compounds are essential for sterilizing medical equipment, surface, and instruments to prevent infection and ensure aseptic conditions during medical procedures. All these factors are driving the chlorine market growth in the pharmaceutical sector.

Asia Pacific is estimated to register the fastest CAGR in the global chlorine market from 2022 to 2030. Asia Pacific relies on chlorine and its derivatives for various applications, leading to a steady and sustained demand for this versatile chemical. The demand for chlorine is growing in the wastewater treatment sector in Asia Pacific due to several reasons that highlight the significance of chlorine as a crucial water disinfection agent. As Asia Pacific countries strive to improve quality, protect public health, and meet stringent environmental regulations, chlorine has emerged as a reliable and effective solution for wastewater treatment. In addition, the Asia Pacific PVC market is experiencing steady growth, fueling the demand for chlorine as it is a primary raw material in PVC production. PVC is extensively used in various sectors, including construction, automotive, packaging, and healthcare. As Asia Pacific continues to invest in infrastructure development and sustainable construction practices, the demand for chlorine-based PVC materials is expected to rise, further driving the chlorine market growth.
