Calcium Hypochlorite Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Form (Powder , Pellet and Granule), Production Process (Calcium Process and Sodium Process), Application (Water Treatment, Pools and Spas, House Cleaners, Detergents and Bleaching Agent), End Users (Paper Mills, Power Plants and Pharmaceutical Plants) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Calcium Hypochlorite Market is accounted for $734.02 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $1544.50 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic, white solid that is used as a bleaching agent and for the treatment of water. These are the main components of bleaching powder, chlorine powder, and chlorinated lime. Due to the fact that they are insoluble in hard water, they are typically used in soft and medium water. They are also used to disinfect water, swimming pools, and other areas. The market for calcium hypochlorite is expanding and will continue to do so as long as consumption keeps rising.
According to deform by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, over 10.4 million residential swimming pools exist in North America.
Market DynamicsDriverCalcium hypochlorite is in high demand
The global Calcium Hypochlorite market expected to drive growth during the forecast period. In addition to the growing demand for better drinking water, the use of calcium hypochlorite is expanding quickly in a variety of applications, including food and beverage washing and disinfection, household cleaning, drying and strengthening agents, filter agents for waste or used water, oil chemical assistants, paper and pulp, and water treatment. This is creating growth opportunities for the calcium hypochlorite market in the coming years.
RestraintHealth issues can result from calcium hypochlorite exposure
Numerous health conditions, such as skin, eye, and lung burns, can be brought on by exposure to calcium hypochlorite. Pneumonia can be brought on by calcium hypochlorite, which has an effect on how the calcium hypochlorite market is developing globally. As a result of the health risks, the government has strict laws and regulations that apply to the calcium hypochlorite market.
OpportunityIncreased demand for sanitation
The global Calcium Hypochlorite market expected to drive growth during the forecast period. Most commonly, calcium hypochlorite is used to disinfect public swimming pools and other spaces. Sanitation is vital to life because many diseases are on the rise. Since calcium hypochlorite is primarily used for sanitation, the increased demand for sanitation around the world is opening up a wide range of business opportunities.
ThreatDifficult to handle and store
Containers containing calcium hypochlorite must be empty or completely closed. If calcium hypochlorite is not stored in airtight containers, it will react with moisture in the air and release chlorine gas. There will be a waste of calcium hypochlorite as the strong chlorine gas reacts with air and decomposes slowly in the humid air, possibly causing harmful illnesses like breathing difficulties and waterborne illnesses, among others. Calcium hypochlorite must always be handled carefully in order to prevent waste.
Covid-19 ImpactThe initial waves of COVID-19 had a negative effect on the global calcium hypochlorite market, just like they would on any other market, but the pandemic's overall impact was only moderate. Production of calcium hypochlorite has been hampered by the need for skilled labor, large-scale industrial facilities, and heavy machinery. During the pandemic, production was also significantly hindered by industry curfews and the requirement for social isolation. The supply of raw materials required to produce calcium hypochlorite and finished goods was severely hampered by the global lockdown imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The powder segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The powder form market segment had the largest revenue share and is anticipated to hold this position throughout the forecast period. This high percentage can be attributed to the expanding use of powder form in many end-user applications due to its texture. This substance, which is marketed as bleach or chlorine powder, is a combination of calcium chloride and lime. It is frequently employed in applications for water treatment and as a bleaching agent. In order to bleach cotton and linen, it is also a component of bleaching powder.
The sodium process segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The sodium process segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Applications for the sodium process include aquaculture, sanitation, and water treatment. Additionally, the products of the calcium process are widely used in water treatment applications for disease prevention and aquaculture development. Water treatment applications are increasingly using calcium hypochlorite, which is a byproduct of the calcium process, which is accelerating segment growth.
Region with largest shareIn 2020, Asia-Pacific had the highest revenue share of more than 42.5%. The market in Asia Pacific is likely to be driven by the escalating demand from end-use industries like water treatment, household cleaners, and agrochemicals. The demand for water disinfectants is rising quickly due to the region's growing population. The Asia-Pacific region's demand for calcium hypochlorite is anticipated to increase as a result. In addition, more and more products are being used in industrial settings in nations like China, Japan, India, and Indonesia.
Region with highest CAGRNorth America is also anticipated to experience significant growth during the forecast period. The demand for the product is influenced by the increasing number of swimming pools in American homes. As a result, the North American regional market is being driven by rapidly expanding disinfectant and textile applications as well as product demand in Canada and Mexico. Because drinking water disinfection facilities use the products more frequently, there is an increase in product demand in the U.S. Market.
