The global Chlor-Alkali market was stood around $60 billion in 2020 and is expected to demonstrate the growth of ~4% during the forecast period (2021-2027). In the long run, the chemical industry outpaced the overall world index owing to growing demand from large and diversified base of end use industry. Chlor-Alkali’s are no other, the industry witnessed significant growth in last couple of years. Increasing production of organic and inorganic chemicals, growing focus of safe drinking water, growing industrial production owing to rising demand from end users due to increasing consumer disposable income. For instance, according to International Aluminum Organization, the global alumina production was around 133.08 million tons in 2020 compared to 115.1 million tons in 2014. The growing production of alumina is increasing the demand of caustic soda, as it is use in Bayer process of refining the bauxite ore to obtain aluminum oxide.
The demand of chlor-alkali product decreased in 2020 owing to the COVID-19. In the light of COVID-19, governments across the globe had taken stringent measures resulted in the shutdown of industrial process as a result demand of raw materials affected severely. Further, periodically removal of lockdown resulted in the industry operations with partial workforce, this again resulted in the less supply to end users. In addition, border closures in order to curtail the spread of disease, halted the supply chain eco-system thus, resulted in the decline in the production and consumption of chlor-alkali products.
