Chlor-alkali is one of the excellent surface disinfectants that has been used to reduce the growth of microbial activity and growth of the surface, reducing the chance of any kind of bacterial or fungal infection. The chlorine production in the chlor-alkali process is used as disinfectants that are available in either liquid or solid form as sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite, respectively. In the U.S., chlorine products are aqueous solutions of sodium hypochlorite that has been used most commonly as household bleach that reduces a microbial activity without leaving any residue or by making the water hard to use further.

Global Chlor-Alkali Market was valued at USD 63.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 90.57 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period of 2022-2029. Several advantages associated with chlor-alkali products are the rise in demand for chlor-alkali products as disinfectants for the treatment of water. Hence the production of chlor-alkali is done at a larger scale by the manufacturers to fulfill the rising demand of customers. Therefore, to meet the growing demand for chlor-alkali products, some companies are expanding their production capacities in different regions to grow their market for chlor-alkali.
Increase in demand of alkali chemicals in alumina industry across the world will drive the market's growth rate
Alkali chemicals are soluble hydroxides of metals of alkali sodium, and potassium, among others that are caustic in nature that is not corrosive to organic tissues. Alkali chemicals are soluble in water that makes the litmus paper turns blue having a range of pH between 7.1 to 14. The most common alkali chemicals are sodium and potassium hydroxides, chlorine, and soda ash. Thus, the rise in soda ash's production capacity has led to increased use of soda ash in different industries. Therefore, the rise in the use of alkali chemicals in water treatment and detergent industry is driving the growth of the global chlor-alkali market.

COVID-19 Impact
The chlor-alkali market suffered as a result of the current coronavirus outbreak. Certain production operations have been put on hold as a precaution. Supply chain interruptions impacted chlor-alkali and other end-use sectors, and the majority of applications saw a decline in demand of more than 5%. Worldwide, a number of growth projects have been put on hold, which has caused a decline in the demand for chlor-alkali. Consumption of synthetic, organic, and inorganic chemicals has sharply declined worldwide. The epidemic has caused numerous construction and infrastructure projects to be paused or delayed all around the world. As a result, PVC is in less demand globally, which has an impact on the chlorine sector. The fall in the auto sector further reduced the need for glass and polymers.
