Chlorine Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

Chlorine derivatives are used in various applications such as disinfection, bleaching, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and metal separation. Chlorine is used for as a disinfectant in various forms such as elemental chlorine (chlorine gas), sodium hypochlorite solution or calcium hypochlorite powder. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight degrade free chlorine compounds in water and significantly decrease disinfection efficacy over time. Therefore, chlorine is used as an effective and efficient disinfection agent.
Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) from the construction industry is one of the major factor driving growth of the chlorine market. PVC is extensively used in construction industry and was the largest derivative in terms of value and volume in 2021 according to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis. PVC is used in piping & fittings, window, door frames and cladding, landfill liners & geomembranes; swimming pool liners; single-ply roofing, conveyor belts, piping used in food processing, chemical processing & other manufacturing, floor & wall coverings, coated paneling, adhesives, and maintenance coatings.
Among derivatives, propylene oxide segment accounted for significant market share in the global chlorine market in 2021. This is owing to increasing use of propylene oxide in the production of polyethers. Propylene glycol and epichlorohydrin is used in the production of epoxy resins which is used in coatings, adhesives, and plastics. Use of chlorine for manufacturing epichlorohydrin is expected to increase, owing to high demand for epoxy resins from the construction industry. According to Epoxy Europe, an initiative of the Epoxy Resin Committee (ERC), demand for epoxy resins from the construction sector in Europe accounted for 60 kilo tons (23% of total production volumes), creating turnover over US$ 200 million in 2013.
