Global Sodium Hypochlorite Market Size
Global sodium hypochlorite market to surpass USD 205 Million, in 2020 and is estimated to grow over 5.5% CAGR between 2021 and 2027 owing to rising utilization in wastewater treatment, household cleaning products, textile, chemical industry. Increasing acceptance of sodium hypochlorite as bleach and disinfectants in water treatment and household hygiene products is expected to propel the market growth.
The chlorination of the inlet stream to wastewater treatment plants aims to prevent sludge from bulking. When undesirable filamentous protozoans or organisms become abundant, activated sludge does not settle appropriately and thus it starts bulking. This process not only reduces the performance of the plant but also produces turbid effluent. Thus, addition of sodium hypochlorite to the sewage helps to eliminate the filamentous organisms which are primarily responsible for bulk formation. Thus, this product provides better sludge settling characteristics. Owing to this factor it is highly used for water treatment.
Sodium Hypochlorite is highly used for textile finishing for last two centuries. Nowadays, the use of sodium hypochlorite in textile processing is for the preshrinking of wool. Sodium hypochlorite has been superseded by other substances in former uses such as whitening of cotton, stonewashing jeans, and decolouration of dyed textiles. However, after its use, the bleaching effluent is submitted for a dichlorination process by using sulphite, thus the final discharge is free from oxidizing chlorine.
COVID 19 outbreak has led to imposition of shutdown of manufacturing units, travel ban and offices & marketplaces by governments across the world. Such measures have led to supply chain disruption across the world. This has negatively affected raw materials supply for sodium hypochlorite. However, as sodium hypochlorite is used to produce disinfectants, which are considered as one of the demanding products at the time of lockdown to maintain cleanliness there was a low to medium impact on sodium hypochlorite market share due to COVID 19.
Global Sodium Hypochlorite Market Analysis
Disinfectants segment is estimated to exceed USD 98 million in 2020. Emerging economies such as Brazil, India, China, and South Africa provide significant opportunities for players of sodium hypochlorite due to increasing surface disinfectants market. The increasing need for improved healthcare services in these economies is driven by the rapidly increasing aging population as well as high patient volumes. Increasing spending power of consumers on personal hygiene is also further increasing the sodium hypochlorite market segment demand for disinfection.
Water treatment is anticipated to reach over USD 128 million by 2027. Water treatment is witnessing global demand due to scarcity of water in many countries. Due to this government initiatives have been taken to reuse the wastewater from municipality as well as industry. This will not only help the governments to fulfil the demand for water but also will help to maintain an ecological balance by not discharging harmful effluents in rivers as well as oceans. This factor is helping the product to accelerate the sodium hypochlorite market revenue.
Asia Pacific sodium hypochlorite market is estimated to reach over USD 105 million with a growth over 5.6% by the end of 2027 owing to the increasing consumer awareness regarding health and hygiene. The increasing adoption of sodium hypochlorite in wastewater treatment market as well as disinfectants market is helping Asia Pacific region to be dominant in the market. Countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea are the major contributors. Whereas India is having highest growth rate due to the imposition of strict regulations on industries to control water pollution.
