Calcium Hypochlorite Market is Expected to Reach Around USD 840 Billion by the End of 2028

Calcium Hypochlorite Market-Overview

Calcium hypochlorite is a white solid inorganic substance with the chemical formula Ca(OCl)2. The reaction of lime (Ca(OH)2) with chlorine gas produces calcium hypochlorite. It is poisonous, unpleasant to the skin, and non-combustible, and has a strong chlorine odor.It is mostly utilized as a bleaching or disinfecting agent, commercial bleaches, cleaning solutions, and disinfectants for drinking water, wastewater, and swimming pools.

According to the MRFR analysis, the global Calcium Hypochlorite Market size was valued at around USD 800billion in 2020 and is expected to reach around USD 840billion by the end of 2028 at a CAGR of 5.0%.

The demand for calcium hypochlorite is on the rise due to rising demand for freshwater, an increase in fatalities from waterborne disease, and stricter water discharge laws. The active ingredient in bleaching powder, calcium hypochlorite, is commonly used to purify drinking water in water purification plants. It is also frequently used as a cleaning agent or in cleaning and sanitation detergents.

 Calcium hypochlorite, being incredibly cost-effective, is widely used in all public and private sectors to keep their environments clean and disinfected. It is frequently employed as an oxidizing agent in the pulp &paper and agrochemical industries. However, high product costs and the high capital expenditure required for plant construction may restrain the market growth in the projected years. Furthermore, the toxic characteristics of calcium hypochlorite and the generation of chlorine by interaction with air hinder market expansion. Nonetheless, growing demand for better drinking water, as well as increased use of calcium hypochlorite in a variety of applications such as paper &pulp, agrochemicals, house cleaning, food &beverages, and water treatment, will provide the calcium hypochlorite market with a lucrative growth opportunity.

COVID-19 Analysis

COVID-19 has significantly influenced overall chemical production, particularly calcium hypochlorite manufacturing, due to supply chain disruptions around the world. This is due to the global pandemic and travel restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The pandemic has hampered the manufacturing of calcium hypochlorite, impacting a variety of businesses, including agriculture, paper &pulp, food & beverage, and others. Ascalcium hypochlorite is used in many different industries, their declining operations directly impact the calcium hypochlorite market. Nevertheless, calcium hypochlorite is widely used as a disinfectant in surface cleaning, water treatment plants, fresh drinking water, and the agriculture industry. Thus, even throughout the pandemic, the demand has witnessed a slight increase.

Calcium chlorite displays a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and is effective against several common pathogens at various concentrations. Hence, the demand for calcium hypochlorite had increased from various industries and residencesduring the global pandemic. To meet the increased demand from endusers, calcium hypochlorite producers have maintained their facilities running with a limited workforce.
