Rising Demand for Chlor Alkali Related Product Will Drive the Market of Chlor Alkali in India

Published: Jan 2020

Indian Chlor Alkali Market is anticipated to show a significant growth rate in the near future. Chlor alkali refers to two chemicals that are chlorine and alkali that are produced during the electrolysis process of salt water. Some of the processes used for the production of chlor alkali products include mercury cell process, diaphragm cell technology, and mono polar membrane among others. The major product of chlor alkali industry includes caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash. These products found application in many end-user industries which in turn will benefit the growth of principal chlor alkali market. All three major products and their major application industries are listed as follows:

  • Caustic Soda

Alumina, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, pulp & paper, soaps & detergents, textiles, water treatment, and steel/ metallurgy- sintering.

  • Chlorine

EDC/PVC, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, isocyanates, chlorinated intermediates, propylene oxide, pulp & paper, C1/C2 aromatics, Water treatment.

  • Soda Ash

Glass, soaps & detergents, metallurgy, water treatment, pulp & paper.

The factors that are anticipated to drive the Indian chlor alkali market include rapid industrialization in the region, low cost of raw material and labor availability. Further, the rise in demand for plastic paints and elastomers in the region will also attribute to the overall growth of Indian chlor alkali market. However, the major factor that will hinder the growth of Indian chlor alkali market is government regulation concerning the environment safety as mercury and carbon emissions during the manufacturing process of these products are major harmful for the environment. Additionally, the high cost of manufacturing also serves as a concern that will slow the growth of Indian chlor alkali market.

Active players in Indian alkali market include AKzoNoble, Axiall Corp., Formosa Plastic Corp., Nirma Ltd., Occidental petroleum Corp. (OXY), Olin Corp., Tosoh Corp., Ineos Corp., The Dow Chemicals Company, Aditya Birla Chemical Company, DCM Shriram Ltd., Lords Chloro Alkali Ltd. and so on. To remain relevant in the market, these players adopt various strategies such as acquisitions, merger, product launch, expansions. For instance, in February 2018, AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals and Evonik Industries have successfully started production at their new joint venture to produce chlorine and potassium hydroxide at the Akzo Nobel Ibbenbüren site in Germany. The facility uses advanced membrane electrolysis technology to produce up to 120,000 metric tons of potassium hydroxide and 75,000 metric tons of chlorine per year. The plant will strengthen the respective positions of both companies.
