Rising Demand From Water Treatment Plants And The Pharmaceutical Industry Are All Expected To Drive The Growth Of The Chlorine Market During The Forecast Period

 

Chlorine

Chlorine is a highly reactive element and a powerful oxidizer; it has the highest electron affinity and third-highest electronegativity on the Pauling scale, trailing only oxygen and fluorine. An electric current is passed through a brine solution to produce chlorine. Along with chlorine, caustic soda, and hydrogen are produced in this process, known as electrolysis. The market is divided into three sections: application, end-user industry, and geography. The market is divided into applications such as EDC/PVC, isocyanates and oxygenates, chloromethanes, solvents and epichlorohydrin, inorganic chemicals, and others. The market is divided into end-user industries such as water treatment, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, paper and pulp, plastic, pesticides, and others. The report also includes market size and forecasts for the chlorine market in 15 major regions. Market sizing and forecasting have been done on the basis of volume (kilotons) and revenue for each segment (USD million).

 

The rising prevalence of these diseases, as well as the increased demand for medical equipment and procedures, are expected to increase chlorine consumption. Chlorine-based plastic foams are used in HVAC applications to improve the energy efficiency of HVAC systems. Building and construction sector expansion as a result of rapid urbanisation and rising disposable income is expected to boost demand for plastic foams and thus chlorine, propelling the Chlorine Market forward. The growing chemical industry in developing countries, the expansion of end-user segments and higher production facilities, and rising demand from water treatment plants and the pharmaceutical industry are all expected to drive the growth of the Chlorine Market during the forecast period.

 

However, rising environmental consciousness is a major impediment to the growth of the chlorine market. According to Euro Chlor, total mercury cell emissions in Western Europe reached 0.68 grammes per tonne of chlorine capacity in 2015, slightly higher than the all-time low of 0.74 grammes per tonne of chlorine capacity in 2014. The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive requires all EU chlor-alkali plants, whether membrane, mercury, or diaphragm, to obtain an operating permit beginning in October 2007. However, increasing adoption of membrane technology that has a lower environmental impact is expected to drive market growth.
