Chlor-alkali is an industrial process widely used to produce chlorine, caustic soda, and other
chlorine and sodium derived/based products such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid,
chlorosulphonic acid, bleaching power, polyaluminium chloride, hydrogen gas, and chlorinated
paraffin. The process uses brine (sodium chloride) solution during electrolysis to produce
aforesaid products which are also known as chlor-alkali industry/market products.
The report estimates the market size of chlor-alkali industry for three products such as caustic
soda, chlorine, and soda ash. It provides a comprehensive review of market drivers, restraints,
opportunities, challenges, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and
forecasted for major geographic regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the
World (ROW). Major countries with the market volume and revenue are covered for each of the
region. The top players of the industry are profiled in detail with their recent developments and
other strategic industry activities.
Chlor-alkali market with its three products caustic soda, soda ash, and chlorine form basis of most
of the end-user industries. The aforesaid products are further processed into various forms,
chemical compositions, and added to various other chemicals to design and formulate new
products and derivatives. Their wide use adds them to the list of raw materials in various
industries. The prices of these products vary from region-to-region depending upon their
extraction, supply logistics, location of manufacturing facilities, labor cost, and most importantly
energy costs. With the current energy scenario and demand the prices of these products are
expected to grow in the nearing future translating into enhanced growth in revenue earnings of
major companies.
The global caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash market volume is expected to reach 79.8, 74.2,
and 58.1 million tons respectively translating into total revenue of $88.6 billion by the year 2017.

2. As of year 2012, Asia consumes almost half of the combined volume of all the aforesaid products
followed by North America and Europe. The major application segments for chlorine are PVC and
organic chemicals, for caustic soda major applications are pulp and paper and organic and
inorganic chemicals; whereas for soda ash glass constitutes the major application segment.
Chlorine and caustic soda are mainly produced using membrane and diaphragm technology with
mercury cell process in phasing out mode. Soda ash is mainly produced using Solvay process.
The drivers of the industry are identified as high growth in developing regions, high demand in
end-user industries, and high existing production capacities of chlor-alkali products. Most of the
production capacity of chlor-alkali products exists in Asian region and high growth in their demand
is mainly observed in developing countries. The high production capacities in the region also give
flexibility to the manufacturers to scale up the production depending upon demand trends. The
restraining factors are identified as environmental concerns and energy intensive operations of the
chlor-alkali industry. The issues in the market are mainly pertaining to that of a maturing industry
i.e. steady growth in mature markets such as U.S. and Europe, and environmental concerns like
carbon and mercury emissions. The industry players are following strategies like consolidation and
capacity expansion to address to the demands generated by end-user industries and developing
countries.
The major players in the market are The DOW Chemical Company (U.S.), Occidental Chemical
Corporation (U.S.), Bayer AG (Germany), PPG Industries (U.S.), Tata Chemicals Ltd (India), Shin-
Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd (Japan), Formosa Plastics Corp. (Taiwan), Solvay Chemicals (Belgium),
Ineos Chlor Ltd (U.K.), FMC Corporation (U.S.), Shangdong Haihua Group Co. Ltd (China), and
Ciech S.A. (Poland).
