Worldwide Chlor-alkali Production to Surpass 500 million tons by 2031 from under 400 million ton in 2020

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --  As per latest Fact.MR analysis, the global chlor-alkali market is estimated to value US$ 84 Bn in 2021. With growing demand for chlor-alkali products in chemical industry, the market is set to register a CAGR of 5.4% between 2021 and 2031, surpassing a valuation of US$ 143 Bn by 2031.

The swift expansion of chlor-alkali market can be attributed to the rising demand for chlorine and sodium hydroxide (Caustic soda) across for application across diverse industries. These chemicals are extensively used in a wide range of applications, ranging from production of plastics to paper and pulp manufacturing.

Chlorine, one of the primary products of chlor-alkali process, has a multitude of uses. It is increasingly utilized in the product of vinyl, antiseptics, and insecticides. Besides this, the study forecast chlorine application to soar in wastewater treatment and manufacturing of medicines in the coming years.

Similarly, application of caustic soda across in metallurgy, alumina production, various household products and food processing is driving the market globally.
