Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a compound that can be effectively used for water purification. It is used on a large scale for surface purification, bleaching, odor removal and water disinfection. Sodium hypochlorite has a long history. Around 1785 the Frenchman Berthollet developed liquid bleaching agents based on sodium hypochlorite. The Javel company introduced this product and called it 'liqueur de Javel'. At first, it was used to bleach cotton. Because of its specific characteristics it soon became a popular compound. Hypochlorite can remove stains from clothes at room temperature. In France, sodium hypochlorite is still known as 'eau de Javel'.
The sodium hypochlorite market is experiencing significant growth due to its widespread application across water treatment, disinfection, and industrial processes. However, environmental and safety concerns, along with competition from alternative disinfectants, present challenges to the market.
Market Drivers:
Increasing Demand for Water Treatment: One of the primary drivers of the sodium hypochlorite market is its significant role in water purification. As the demand for clean and safe drinking water continues to rise, especially in emerging markets, sodium hypochlorite is increasingly used in municipal water treatment plants to disinfect water and ensure it is free from harmful microorganisms.
Rising Awareness of Hygiene and Sanitation: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly raised global awareness about hygiene and sanitation. Sodium hypochlorite, known for its disinfecting properties, has become a widely used product in cleaning and sanitizing public spaces, hospitals, households, and industrial facilities. The growing focus on hygiene standards in various sectors is driving the market demand for sodium hypochrite.
Demand in the Textile and Paper Industries: Sodium hypochlorite is widely used in the textile industry for bleaching fabrics, especially in the production of cotton and synthetic fibers. It is also a key agent in the paper and pulp industry for bleaching wood pulp. The ongoing growth in these industries, especially in Asia-Pacific and North America, is a key factor propelling the market for sodium hypochlorite.
