第16章 調査会社について・免責事項

The Liquid Chlorine market was valued at USD 6.72 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 8.60 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.20%. The global liquid chlorine market is undergoing sustained expansion, driven by its indispensable role in high-impact industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, water and wastewater treatment, agriculture, and plastics manufacturing particularly in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chlorinated intermediates. Liquid chlorine's utility as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and as a reactive agent in complex chemical synthesis makes it a foundational raw material across these sectors.

Market growth is particularly pronounced in emerging economies, where industrialization, Global urbanization is accelerating rapidly, with forecasts indicating that by 2050, nearly 70% of the world's population will reside in urban centers. To support this demographic shift, infrastructure investment requirements are rising sharply. According to the World Bank, annual global infrastructure spending must reach USD3.7 trillion through 2030 to meet growing demand for urban services, transport, energy, and water systems. Complementing this, the G20's Global Infrastructure Hub projects a cumulative investment need of approximately USD94 trillion by 2040, underscoring the urgency for large-scale, long-term capital deployment across both developed and emerging markets. These projections highlight a significant opportunity for industries aligned with urban infrastructure development including construction materials, water treatment, and industrial chemicals to play a central role in the global growth cycle.

The liquid chlorine market is expected to grow at a moderate to robust pace, propelled by the expansion of chlorine-intensive manufacturing clusters, especially in Asia Pacific, and the modernization of municipal and industrial water treatment facilities globally. Moreover, the industry is witnessing a strategic shift toward improved containment, automated dosing systems, and real-time monitoring technologies, which enhance operational safety and efficiency addressing a long-standing concern around the handling and storage of chlorine as a hazardous substance. Growth will remain tightly coupled with regulatory oversight. As sustainability goals gain prominence, particularly in North America and Europe, chlorine producers are under increasing pressure to minimize emissions, adopt closed-loop systems, and demonstrate lifecycle compliance with environmental and safety norm.

Key Market Drivers

Growing Demand of Liquid Chlorine in Pharmaceutical Industry

The growing demand for liquid chlorine in the pharmaceutical industry is playing a pivotal role in driving the growth of the global liquid chlorine market. As pharmaceutical manufacturing becomes increasingly complex and globally interconnected, the reliance on liquid chlorine for various critical processes has intensified. Liquid chlorine serves as a vital chemical intermediate in the synthesis of numerous active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates. It is used in chlorination reactions to produce essential compounds such as hydrochloric acid, chlorinated solvents, and other derivatives that are foundational in the manufacture of antibiotics, antiseptics, and cardiovascular and respiratory drugs. With the pharmaceutical sector expanding globally, the demand for such chlorine-based intermediates is witnessing significant growth. Chlorine compounds are extensively used in the formulation of disinfectants and sterilization products critical components in hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical cleanrooms. The global emphasis on hygiene and infection control, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a surge in demand for chlorine-based disinfecting solutions. This trend continues to drive liquid chlorine consumption in pharmaceutical manufacturing and healthcare infrastructure.

Developing economies in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East are rapidly expanding their pharmaceutical production capacities. Countries such as India and China are becoming major hubs for API and generic drug manufacturing due to favorable policies, cost advantages, and skilled labor. This regional expansion is significantly boosting local demand for liquid chlorine, which is indispensable for drug formulation and chemical synthesis processes. The pharmaceutical industry is governed by rigorous quality and safety standards, particularly regarding contamination control and sterilization. Chlorine-based compounds are favored for their proven antimicrobial properties and cost-efficiency in ensuring sterile production environments. The increased regulatory focus on maintaining pharmaceutical hygiene standards especially in sterile injectable and biologics manufacturing further strengthens demand for chlorine-based cleaning agents and intermediates.

Key Market Challenges

High Risk Profile in Transportation and On-Site Storage

Liquid chlorine is classified as a toxic and highly reactive hazardous material, requiring specialized infrastructure for storage and transportation. The logistics involved such as pressurized containers, corrosion-resistant pipelines, and real-time monitoring systems significantly increase both capital and operational expenditure for end-users. Moreover, accident risks during transit or handling, even when minimal, often lead to public opposition, insurance complications, and local zoning restrictions, particularly in urban or residential proximity. These constraints discourage smaller industrial facilities and decentralized utilities from adopting liquid chlorine, driving a gradual shift toward safer, low-volume alternatives such as on-site chlorine generation or other non-chlorine-based disinfectants.

Key Market Trends

Reshoring of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in Developed Markets

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and increasing scrutiny of overreliance on Asia-based manufacturing, several developed economies including the U.S. and EU nations are actively reshoring key segments of their chemical and pharmaceutical production. This shift has led to renewed investment in domestic chlorine-consuming facilities, such as API manufacturing plants, PVC producers, and industrial water treatment infrastructure. The reindustrialization trend is accelerating the demand for liquid chlorine in controlled, high-compliance environments, particularly for applications that require strict purity and traceability standards. Reshoring is fueling demand for modular and localized chlorine production systems to reduce logistics risk and ensure regulatory alignment.
