North America has been the dominant region in the global chlor-alkali market for many decades. The region is expected to hold 37.8% of the market share in 2024. The region has a strong industrial base with presence of many key end-use industries such as chemicals, paper & pulp, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. Large players in the chlor-alkali industry have their production facilities well-established in the U.S. and Canada in order to cater to the consistent demand from domestic end-users. Additionally, the region is an exporter of chlor-alkali products to the Latin American market. With access to raw materials and energy resources, producers in North America can ensure cost competitiveness over international counterparts. However, environmental regulations surrounding mercury cell technology adoption are increasing the operational costs for industry players in the region.
The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for chlor-alkali globally. Propelled by the rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in emerging economies, the demand for chlor-alkali and its downstream products is augmented. As countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam see huge investments in end-use verticals, their requirements for chlorine, caustic soda, and potassium hydroxide are rising steadily. This has also encouraged chlor-alkali producers to set up new production units and expand existing facilities. While China dominates the current export demand for chlor-alkali in Asia Pacific, other ASEAN nations are seen as new hotspots in the coming years. The Asia Pacific nations also import substantial volumes from Persian Gulf producers to fulfill their expanding consumption needs. With a burgeoning middle-class population and improving economic outlook, the Asia Pacific chlor-alkali market is projected to witness sustained growth over the long run.
