Westford, USA, Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The chlor-alkali market in the Asia Pacific is anticipated to experience robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for products in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. The CPG industries, including paper packaging, personal care, home care products, and food and beverage, are witnessing significant growth in the region. In addition, to address environmental concerns, many companies around the world are investing in developing eco-friendly production processes, such as using membrane cell technology to produce chlor-alkali compounds. These trends are expected to continue driving the market's growth in the coming years.

The demand for efficient wastewater treatment systems is on the rise as countries aim to ensure the safe treatment of household wastewater. In 2020, according to global research by SkyQuest, only 58% of household wastewater was treated safely. As a result, it has led to an increase in demand for chlor-alkali-based treatment systems, which are expected to see significant growth in the coming years as the world strives to reach the goal of 100% safe treatment of household wastewater.

Chlorine Segment to Register the Fastest Growth Rate owing to Its Increasing Use in Industrial Applications

In 2021, the chlorine sector dominated the chlor-alkali market with the largest market share. The versatility of chlorine has led to many industrial applications, including the production of polymers like PVC, solvents like tetra chloromethane, chloroform, and dichloromethane, as being widely used for bleaching in the paper and textile industry. Additionally, chlorine is a crucial component in water treatment processes. As a result, China's chemical market has been growing faster than the regions, with an estimated annual growth of 4-5% compared to a global growth rate of around 3%.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to have the highest growth rate in the chlor-alkali market during the forecast period. Such growth is due to a rise in disposable income and urbanization in countries such as China and India. The rapid industrial development and urbanization in these countries have led to a surge in construction activities for domestic, industrial, and commercial purposes. It has increased demand for PVC and glass, which heavily utilize chlor-alkali. The region's growth potential, coupled with the increase in demand for products containing chlor-alkali, makes it a promising market for players in the industry.

Membrane Cell Process Segment to Dominate the Global Market Thanks to Its Functionality to Work with Less Energy Requirement

In 2021, the membrane cell process segment was a significant portion of the global chlor-alkali market due to its eco-friendly properties. The membrane cell method is popular among producers because it requires less energy during production, making it more energy-efficient than other processes. This method also requires a lower initial investment to set up, making it more accessible for new entrants in the market. The membrane cell process uses approximately 2,250-2,500 kW per metric tonne of energy, less than the 2,400-2,700 kW per metric tonne required for chlorine synthesis using other methods. It makes the membrane cell process a widely adopted method for new plant construction.

The North American region held the second-largest market share in the chlor-alkali industry, following closely behind another key market, Europe. In addition, the region is home to some of the world's largest exporters of chlor-alkali products. In the coming years, the construction sector's growth is expected to drive an increase in PVC production and chlorine consumption. Additionally, technological advancements that make the production process more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient are projected to significantly boost the industry over the forecast period. All these factors show a positive outlook for the market and highlight the importance of continued investment and innovation in the sector.
