The global calcium hypochlorite market was valued at around US$ 5 Bn in 2016 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 3% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled ‘Calcium Hypochlorite – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026.’ Expansion in the global calcium hypochlorite market is driven by the rise in demand for fresh water and increase in demand for calcium hypochlorite in pulp & paper applications. The calcium hypochlorite market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period. Rapid urbanization in developing economies such as China and India is estimated to propel the calcium hypochlorite market in the region.
Increase in Demand for Fresh Water and Decrease in Sources of Fresh Water Expected to Drive Calcium Hypochlorite Market
According to the World Bank, in 2016, 783 million people across the globe lacked access to safe drinking water, 2.5 billion people lacked adequate sanitization, and large percentage of hospital beds were populated by people afflicted with waterborne diseases. At the current rate, 90% of all available freshwater is projected to be consumed in the next 25 years. Consequently, desalination and water reuse is likely to become a vital source of freshwater. Currently, more than 16,000 desalination plants are operational in at least 140 countries in the world. More than 100 water reuse facilities are available across the globe. These facilities require reliable disinfection technologies, including calcium hypochlorite either in pre- or post-treatment form, to prevent biological fouling within the system or the distribution system. Thus, increase in demand for fresh water and decrease in its sources are anticipated to boost the demand for calcium hypochlorite in the near future.
