Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Liquid Chlorine Market," the liquid chlorine market was valued at $5.59 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $8.93 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2031.Liquid chlorine is widely used to enhance the disinfection process by aiding in the oxidation of several elements, including hydrogen sulphide, iron, and manganese that are present in water. Another primary industrial application of chlorine is in the manufacturing of plastics and polymers such as polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride. Also, it is extensively used in industries including pharmaceutical and agriculture.
Liquid chlorine serves as a reactive intermediary in the synthesis of inorganic compounds such as hydrochloric acid, chloro sulphonic acid, and metallic chlorides. In the water treatment business, liquid chlorine is frequently used for disinfection as well as the oxidation of iron and manganese. Liquid chlorine is also a part of the sewage and industrial waste treatment process. Chlorine is used as a bleaching agent in the manufacturing of paper and fabric. It is also found in cleaning goods like bleach, which is chlorine dissolved in water. It is used in the textile industry to bleach cotton yarn and textiles, and in the pulp and paper sector to whiten pulp. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, seizures, cancer, and depression are treated with chlorine. Approximately 85% of pharmaceutical medications are manufactured with chlorine or chlorinated chemicals.
The growth of the global liquid chlorine market is majorly attributable to its wide applications in various industries such as agriculture, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, plastic, textile, and paints & dyes. Also, the increase in number of outdoor pools and rise in consumers’ incomes lead to a surge in adoption of liquid chlorine for disinfecting and cleaning water, which is predicted to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Further, the increase in demand for liquid chlorine as disinfectant in waste-water treatment industry is predicted to propel the growth of the liquid chlorine market during the forecast period.
