Market Definition
Chlor-alkali is a chemical process used to produce caustic soda and chlorine when electricity is being passed by brine solution. Caustic soda obtained from this process is used in the production of paper, soaps, and detergents and many other products. The products obtained from this process is been utilized in various industries such as oil and gas, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing and glass among others.
Middle East and Africa Chlor-Alkali Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing demand for Caustic Soda
The increasing demand for caustic soda possesses high resistance to abrasion and with free flowing properties is expected to drive the market's growth rate. Companies in the chlor-alkali market are making enhancements in their manufacturing techniques to fulfill end users' demand. For instance, Nouryon, a specialty chemicals supplier, produces caustic soda at its membrane electrolysis plant to meet high quality standards of end users. Such innovations are highly contributing toward the exponential growth in revenue of caustic soda and drive the chlor-alkali market growth.
- Increasing growth of the chemical industry across the globe
The growth of the chemical industry is anticipated to drive the chlor-alkali market growth all over the globe. The chemical industry produces industrial chemicals and raw materials for many industries, such as paper, textiles, paint, soap and detergent, agriculture and pharmaceuticals. Chlor-alkali is widely used in the chemical industry to produce chemicals through an industrial process. The development of the chemical industry will also encourage the usage of chlor-alkali to produce sodium hydroxide, chlorine and hydrogen. For instance, as per the data of BASF SE which is a Germany-based chemicals company, chemical production augmented by 4.4% in 2021 globally, from a negative 0.4 percent growth rate in 2020. Therefore, the growth of the chemical industry is driving the growth of the global chlor-alkali market.
Opportunities
- Surging strategic partnerships and collaborations between major market
The surging strategic partnerships and collaborations between major market players further offer numerous growth opportunities within the market. For instance, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), a UAE-based oil company, and Reliance Industries Limited, an India-based integrated company, formed a strategic partnership to add a new world-scale chlor-alkali, ethylene dichloride, and polyvinyl chloride manufacture facility in Abu Dhabi. This collaboration has emerged as a key trend due to a large number of chlor-alkali companies operating in the industry.
• Rising application of chlor-alkali derivatives in water treatment
The demand for the wastewater treatment increases as result of rise in number of population all over the globe. The pressure of environment and society have prompted stakeholders of households, industries, and agricultural to reduce the generation of wastewater and systematically treat the same before discharge. Hence, the chlor-alkali process helps to remove the unwanted solvents through the process of electrolysis and generally useful for removing salts from brine. Hence, the preference for chlor-alkali-based treatment is expected to create numerous growth opportunities for the market growth.
Restraints/ Challenges
- Negative effect of chlor-alkali on environment
One of the major factor which is hampering the growth of the market is negative impact of chlorine on. Chlorine is produced as a by-product during chlor-alkali, which is very harmful to the environment. Moreover, the presence of chlorinated compounds in pulp mill effluents and the prevalence of dioxin in pulp and paper products are some major components that are very harmful for environmental issues. As a result of adverse effect of chlorine derivatives, the demand for the chlor-alkali decrease which is expected to hamper the market growth.
