5. Chlorine Market Overview Global chlorine market is poised to report 4.86%year-on-year growth in 2019, driven by promising growth of chemical industry and high production facilities of chlorine in emerging economics like China and India. The chlorine industry has experienced a continuous growth in the past few years owing to the increasing demand for chlorine and its derivatives from diverse range of end use industries. Chlorine is an important raw material highly used in the manufacture of polyvinylchloride. Increasing demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from construction industry is expected to propel the growth of global chlorine market during the forecast period. Further, high consumption of chlorine in pharmaceutical and water treatment industries as a key source is another factor fuelling the global chlorine market. Stringent environmental regulations from various regulatory bodies that include WHO (World Health organization), IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), EPA FDA (Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration) limits the growth of the chlorine market. These regulations are imposed by the government regarding the risk associated with handling, manufacturing and transportation of chlorine, as it is highly toxicological and reactive in nature. Particularly, industries in the European markets are more likely to face irregular business conditions due to strict environmental rules and regulations. Key players in the chlorine market are expected to sets up on enforcing sustainability programs, which are focusing on training for economical and safe production of chlorine. The global chlorine market players are anticipated to witness a shift from mercury cell technology to membrane technology for chlorine production on account of strict regulations regarding mercury emissions.

6. Chlorine Membrane technology is projected to grow as major technology segment over the years: Membrane technology, mercury technology, diaphragm technology and other technologies are used for the production of chlorine in chlorine industry. Of these technologies, the membrane technology is expected to grow in future owing to shifting of market players from mercury technology to membrane technology for chlorine production. The key players in the chlorine industry are shifting towards membrane technology due to strict environmental regulations on harmful emissions of mercury. EDC/PVC is the major application segment in global chlorine market: Chlorine is applicable for various applications that include chemicals, water treatment, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), organic and inorganic chemicals. PVC is the widely used application segment because chlorine is significantly used in the production of PVC at rapid rate and maximum demand for chlorine is arising from this segment. Therefore, the increasing demand for chlorine in PVC application is boosting the demand of global chlorine market. In addition to EDC/PVC, the global chlorine market is further segmented into C1/C2 aromatics, chlorinated intermediaries, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, propylene oxide, Isocyanates and others. Pharmaceutical remains as the dominant end use industry in global chlorine market: Chlorine is widely used as an ingredient in pharmaceutical industry for the production of medical drugs. This chlorine based drugs are used for the treatment of various diseases such as high blood pressure, asthma, anaemia, diabetes, ulcers, cancer, epilepsy, and inflammation. The demand of pharmaceutical industry is increasing due to growing population and increasing number of health issues. Therefore, the increasing growth in pharmaceutical industry is expected to drive the global chlorine industry over the years. Copyright @OGAnalysis

7. Chlorine Further, the global chlorine market is segmented into water treatment, chemicals, plastic, paper & pulp, pesticides and other industries. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market for chlorine: The report analyses the global chlorine market for countries across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America and Middle East & Africa. The consumption of chlorine in the countries such as India, China, Vietnam and others is anticipated to rise due to increasing demand from industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical and water treatment industries. High production facilities for chlorine is driving the chlorine market in Asia Pacific region. Asia Pacific is the largest market for chlorine, followed by North America and Europe and is expected to witness rapid growth during the forecast period 2019-2025.
