Infinium Global Research Chlor-Alkali Market -IGR | Page 2

Infinium Global Research has added a new report on Global Chlor-Alkali
Market. The report predicts the market size of Chlor-Alkali is expected to reach
XX billion by 2023.
The global chlor-alkali market is projected to growing at a CAGR between
5.3% and 5.9% from 2017 to 2023. The chlor-alkali process is an electrolytic
process by which chlorine and alkali are produced from a salt solution.
Diaphragm cell process, mercury cell process and membrane cell process are
the three types of technologies utilized for chlor-alkali process. Caustic soda
(sodium hydroxide), muriatic acid, and potassium hydroxide are the major
alkalis’ produced during this process. Usually seawater is used as the brine
solution. If potassium brine is used, the alkali obtained by the process will be
potassium hydroxide. Chlorine is a major chemical building block in various
industries and it accounts for major portion of overall chlor-alkali demand.
Chlorine finds major application in the EDC/PVC industry. Moreover, caustic
soda finds applications in industries such as aluminum, cleaning agents, food,
soap, textiles, and some others.
