Restraints: Environmental impact of chlor-alkali products

Environmental impact of the chlor-alkali industry is one of the restraining factors for the market. As chlorine is highly toxic, its leakage and discharge in the environment are closely monitored. The presence of dioxin in pulp- and paper-based products and chlorinated organic compounds in pulp mill effluents are serious concerns for environmental safety. Chlorine derivatives also have harmful effects as these are responsible for ozone layer depletion and thus utilization is being restricted. The mercury cell process, if used for the manufacture of chlorine and caustic soda, emits mercury through the discharge, which, if not treated before disposing to the environment, can poison freshwater resources. According to Euro Chlor, European chlor-alkali industries phased out the mercury cell process by 2019, which is expected to lead to some capacity shutdowns.

Another issue is observed in the use of asbestos as a separator material in the diaphragm cell technology, which causes lung cancer. The USEPA has imposed a ban on the use of asbestos-based separators in the diaphragm cell technology due to this threat. High concentration of caustic soda in water bodies has a negative impact on aquatic life. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), REACH, and other regulating bodies regulate the production and utilization of these products. The synthetic soda ash manufacturing process leads to environmental issues because of the effluents discharged, which contain highly visible pollutants. All these aforesaid concerns act as restraints for the growth of the chlor-alkali market.

Opportunity: Emerging countries offer significant growth opportunities

The growing industrialization in emerging economies such as China, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina is expected to drive the chlor-alkali market during the next five years. The high demand from the packaging, building & construction, consumer goods, and automotive applications in these countries increases the need for plastics, aluminum, and others used in these applications. Government policies supporting the growth of industries, low labor costs, skilled workforces, availability of raw materials, and increasing urbanization have enabled domestic and foreign companies to establish their facilities in these countries. The growth of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia, Vietnam, Colombia, and Chile is also expected to fuel market growth.

The market for plastics is dominated by the US, China, India, and Germany, among others. Brazil, China, South Africa, and Argentina, among other emerging countries, offer significant growth opportunities for the chlor-alkali market. Increasing economic activities such as rapid industrialization and urbanization are driving the demand for plastics in emerging countries. For instance, the construction industry contributes 10.0% to India’s GDP. End-use industries including automobile, construction, packaging, consumer goods, and medical & pharmaceutical are rapidly growing in these countries.

The GDP of these emerging economies acts as a major indicator for the growth of the chlor-alkali market, as it represents the growth of the economy and per capita consumption. Due to the increase in GDP, the per capita income and spending power of the population also increases, which results in higher per capita plastic consumption in these countries. Thus, the growth of the demand for chlor-alkali can be attributed to the increasing per capita plastic consumption, which, in turn, is providing opportunities to market players in these countries.

In recent years, the chemical industry has witnessed high growth in emerging regions and steady growth in developed/mature markets. Industry participants are keen on addressing the needs/demands of growing economies. Global players have adopted expansion strategies to enhance their production capacities.

Challenges: Transportation and storage of chlorine

Chlorine is a highly toxic chemical which causes irritation in the respiratory system if inhaled. Exposure to concentrated amounts causes eye irritation, vomiting, coughing, choking sensation, and lung irritation. Prolonged chlorine exposure can also lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, inflammation of the lungs from breathing in chemical fumes, and even death. It is a strong oxidizer which may react with flammable materials. Chlorine has to be converted into liquid under pressure for transportation; even a small puncture can cost lives because of the above-mentioned properties. To avoid transportation issues, market players are establishing integrated chlor-alkali facilities.

EDC/PVC application in Chlorine account for the largest share.

The EDC/PVC is the largest segment by applications for the Chlorine in Chlor-alkali market. Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is produced by the catalyzed chlorination of ethylene in the presence of ferric chloride (FeCl3) as the catalyst. Vinyl chloride monomer, along with anhydrous hydrochloric acid, is produced by the decomposition of ethylene dichloride at high temperatures. Vinyl chloride is an intermediate in the vinyl chain which is highly toxic and cannot be used in its monomer form. It has to be converted into a polymer. This vinyl chloride monomer is fed into polymerization reactors, wherein the polymerization reaction takes place to provide polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The PVC industry finds major applications in the construction, electronics, healthcare, automotive, packaging, and other end-use industries. Its low cost and desirable physical & mechanical properties make it a suitable material was various applications.  Growth in PVC industry further expects to drive the demand for chlorine in chlor-alkali market.
