Chlor alkali Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis
MARKET OVERVIEW
The chlor alkali process involves the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution to produce chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen gas. This process occurs in an electrolytic cell, typically divided into two compartments the anode and the cathode. Chlorine is considered as the primary product of this process. It is one of the most abundant chemicals produced by the industries across the globe and has numerous industrial applications. The chlor alkali process has a high energy consumption because the yield is equivalent to chlorine and sodium hydroxide.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The chlor alkali market is expected to grow prominently during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to its increasing application of chlor alkali in industries across the globe. As economies grow and infrastructures develop, chemicals are needed in manufacturing processes and the production of various consumer goods. Moreover, the growing demand for water and wastewater treatment across the globe is expected to further aid the growth of the global chlor alkali market. Population growth and depletion of natural resources have propelled the demand for water and wastewater treatment solutions in developed as well as developing economies. However, the production and use of chlor alkali can have environmental consequences, which may hinder the growth of the chlor alkali industry. The process emits mercury through air, water and wastes which is a cause for concern. Emerging countries present significant opportunities for the chlor alkali market growth. These counties are often characterized by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth, driving the growth of industries that rely on chlor alkali products, which have significant growth opportunities in various sectors and applications.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The global chlor alkali market is segmented on the basis of type and application. Based on type, the chlor alkali market is segmented as chlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sodium carbonate (soda ash), hydrochloric acid, potassium hydroxide, and others. On the basis of application, the market is classified as, chemical processing, soaps and detergents, water treatment, paper and pulp, textile, food processing, aluminium processing, and others.
Based on type, the sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) accounted for a significant share which can be attributed to its popular use in chlor alkali applications. Caustic soda is one of the cheapest and most widely used alkalies in the chlor alkali industry. It has a vital role in extracting aluminum from bauxite ore. This process is also known as the Bayer process, which is the primary method for the production of aluminum globally. The rise in the demand for caustic soda is expected to be fuelled by the shifting base of industrial production, the increasing population, and the rising demand for infrastructure development. The by-product of caustic soda is an important element for manufacturing PVC plastics. The global growth in demand for PVC further supports the chlor alkali market growth.
REGIONAL INSIGHTS
The report provides a detailed overview of the global chlor alkali market with respect to five major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA) and South & Central America. Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for a significant portion of the chlor alkali market share. The region is leader in chlor alkali manufacturing with the presence of substantial economic and industrial development. China is dominant in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in the chlor alkali industry. In China, there is a boost in the construction industry, contributing to increased demand for chlorine, a key product of the chlor alkali industry. The chlor alkali market in India accounts for over 70% of the overall basic chemicals market in the country. These factors are expected to aid the growth of the Asia Pacific Chlor Alkali Market.

The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
