Chlorine is a chemical element and a potent oxidizing agent used to make several products in different sectors, including security and transportation, technology, health and safety, and nutrition. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Chlorine market is expected to witness a moderate growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors such as the expansion of the building and construction sector due to fast urbanization are predicted to increase demand for plastic foams and hence Chlorine, propelling the Chlorine Market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the rising demand for water treatment applications combined with increased awareness of better hygiene practices will propel up the need for Chlorine among industrialists in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of these diseases and the increasing demand for medical equipment and procedures are predicted to drive up the chlorine market in the forecasted period. However, Chlorine is highly toxic. Exposure to chlorine gas can cause extreme effects on the respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Due to its higher density than air, it accumulates at the bottom of the space. Due to its high oxidizing ability, it can react with flammable materials, which is expected to hinder global market growth.

Chlorine is one of the versatile elements used to produce a variety of chemicals and other products. Increasing demand for chemical intermediates like hydrochloric acid, acid chlorides, metal chlorides, chloroform, and other chlorine derivatives is expected to boost market growth. Additionally, increasing demand for EDC/PVC resins and products is anticipated to fuel market growth.

Polyvinyl chloride is widely used in building, construction, and infrastructure. Construction and utility parts in buildings are usually partly or entirely polymeric. This can be implemented as roofing materials, seals, piping systems, coatings, wall panels, and many other products. Two types of Polyvinyl chloride are rigid resins and flexible resins. Tough resins provide most growth opportunities, with significant end-uses fittings, windows, fencing, roof tiles, pipe and fittings, and automobile parts. Flexible Polyvinyl Chloride finds outlets in film and sheets, wire and cable coating, flooring, synthetic leather products, and shower curtains. Polyvinyl chloride is used as a solvent in the textile, metal cleaning, and adhesives industries. Significant investments in irrigation, water and sanitation management, building and construction, transport, power, retail, etc., continue to be made. PVC plays an essential role in the sustainable management of these sectors through various products, such as wires and cables, pipes, wood PVC composites, and waterproofing membranes.​ With the expanding population and rapid urbanization, the demand for residential buildings and office spaces increases yearly. This is, in turn, surging the demand for PVC in the construction sector, as these products provide superior function and a long life span.​ Countries like India, Brazil, Austria, China, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Spain have invested heavily in their construction sectors in the last decade. Also, the growing trend of 'green construction' worldwide encourages the usage of PVC in the construction industry more than ever. Thus, with the rise in construction activities, the use of PVC is expected to increase during the forecast period. ​The rising demand for polyvinyl chloride is expected to boost the demand for Chlorine. This, in turn, shall benefit the market for Chlorine during the forecasted period.

The Asia Pacific region dominates the global chlorine market due to the increasing demand from the construction and chemical industry in China and India. Companies and Governments are making considerable investments in wastewater treatment using Chlorine. Chlorine is a chemical element, one of the building components of matter, and is a vital nutrient in both animal and plant diets. Chlorine is a known disinfectant used to disinfect water and make it safe to drink against water-borne infections. It is an extremely reactive element that is also utilized as an oxidizer. Chlorine is an essential industrial chemical that is used in a variety of industries. The most basic chlorine compound is sodium chloride, common salt. Chlorine is used for a variety of purposes, including water disinfection. State-supplied water in households is treated with Chlorine, which necessitates the usage of significant amounts of Chlorine. It's also used to disinfect concrete water tanks and swimming pools to clean the water from germs and diseases, including typhoid, cholera, and fever. Chlorine is also used to make fertilizers intended to protect crops from pests and boost yield quantity and quality. The expansion of the agricultural business has surged fertilizer consumption, which has increased chlorine demand. Chlorine is frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry to make a variety of drugs, including those for conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, and allergies, as well as spectacles, contact lenses, and surgical stitches. The rising prevalence of these diseases and the rising need for medical equipment and procedures will drive up chlorine consumption. Plastic foams produced with Chlorine are utilized in HVAC applications to boost the energy efficiency of HVAC systems. In both emerging and developed countries, increasing urbanization and an ever-increasing need for freshwater have increased the demand for the product. The market for Chlorine is predicted to rise as the demand for PVC in building, automotive, and composite manufacturing applications grows. In addition, the packaging sector's growing need is boosting the Chlorine Market even more. Overall, the market for Chlorine is projected to witness healthy growth in the country over the forecasted period.

The global Chlorine market is partially fragmented. The major players in the worldwide Chlorine market are The Olin Corporation, Nouryon, Ercros S.A, BASF SE, and Tata Chemicals Limited.

June 16, 2020, Ercros marks World Sea Turtle Day by renewing its collaboration agreement with the establishment for the Conservation and Recovery of Marine Animals, which was signed for the first time in July 2019 and under which Ercros will supply CRAM with chemical products to disinfect and maintain the facilities where turtles rescued from the sea recover.

On March 1, 2021. FMC Corporation Logo has announced a planned collaboration with UPL Ltd., a global provider of sustainable agriculture products and solutions, to extend access to Rynaxypyr® active to growers worldwide and increase manufacturing capacity for this critical molecule.

In June 2021. Nouryon has signed a 10-year contract with Metsä Fibre, a subsidiary of Metsä Group. Nouryon will supply Metsä Fibre with sodium chlorate for its new bioproduct mill in Kemi, Finland, under the long-term agreement.
