India Liquid Chlorine Market

The Liquid Chlorine demand in India stood at 1119.4 Kilo Tons in the year 2020 & is expected to reach 1789 Kilo Tons by 2027, at a CAGR of 6.93% during the forecast period.

India Liquid Chlorine Market Overview:

The Rising demand for Chlorine derivatives, like PVC which is extensively used in construction, automobile, packaging, electronic & healthcare uses will push the Liquid Chlorine demand during the forecast period. Chlorine & Ethylene are countered to produce Ethylene Dichloride which is used to make Vinyl Chloride Monomer. Vinyl Chloride Monomer is further managed to make PVC. Polyvinyl Chloride is a highly durable construction material, used in different applications like rigid or flexible, white, black or multi-colored applications.

There has been extensive growth in demand for PVC resins from pipes & fittings which replaces to decrease water losses from the ageing infrastructure. Heavy investments made by the government of India in the region’s infrastructure developments backed by the growing focus on irrigational land are the key drivers for the Polyvinyl Chloride demand development further rising the demand for Liquid Chlorine during the forecast period. In adding, Chlorinated Paraffin Wax that are used to impart flame retardant properties to the Polyvinyl Chloride products like PVC cables & flooring will further rise the Liquid Chlorine demand during the forecast period.

However, an unexpected outbreak of the Corona Virus which led to extended nation-wide lockdown in India strictly affected the Chlor-Alkali industry which continued hard hit as construction actions endured stalled for most of Q4 FY20. Battered by the demand slump, numerous Chlor-Alkali producers such as GACL, Grasim & Meghmani had to close their manufacturing units while others declared operational cuts up to 40 percent to deal with expansion inventories.

Chlorine values are intensely driven by the local demand-supply aspects, hence domestic players reported contracted margins through the fourth quarter. However, firming consumption of Liquid Chlorine for water treatment purposes owing to the government’s active measures to keep safe hygiene practices throughout the pandemic supported the stable value trend. Moreover, with ease in lockdown restraints & resumption of downstream activities, demand for Liquid Chlorine & its derivatives is anticipated to increase to appreciable levels.

Key players working in India’s Liquid Chlorine market are Aditya Birla Chemicals India, Tata Chemicals Limited, DCW Limited, Gujarat Alkalies, and Chemicals Limited, Grasim Industries Limited, DCM Shriram Consolidated Limited, Meghmani Organics Limited, Nirma Limited, Chemplast Sanmar Limited, Chemicals Limited, Others.

In the year 2019, DCM Shriram Ltd. commissioned a 60 TPD Aluminium Chloride plant in Gujarat (Bharuch) with an investment of about INR 31 Cr in order to rise the portfolio of its Chlorine downstream products. Also, some Indian firms are planning to expand capacity uses during the forecast period with steady improvement in the local Liquid Chlorine market with adding of downstream businesses. As Liquid Chlorine is a bulk product, its demand has been powerfully driven by the local demand-supply situation.

Production of selected Major Chemicals & Petrochemicals:

An enormous drop in India’s GDP owing to economic slowdown caused due to the Corona Virus pandemic crisis is revealing of lesser downstream demand in the next few quarters. However, as the Indian construction industry is anticipated to reach $738.5 Billion by the year 2022, the Liquid Chlorine demand estimate for manufacturing PVC resin looks highly optimistic. However, challenges related to the storage & transportation of Liquid Chlorine makes the local Chlor-Alkali manufacturers run their plants based on the domestic Chlorine demand. Hence, if Chlorine demand increases, they would concurrently have to increase the volumes of Caustic Soda which is its co-product.

The vinyl industry is the only largest customer of Chlorine produced in India & hence growing downstream investments can offer valuable options & be the main drivers for the Liquid Chlorine market during the forecast period. Moreover, since most of the Chlorine making is “localized”, boosting local industrialists to discover possibilities like investment in Chlorine Derivate products such as Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) will further increase the local Liquid Chlorine industry. Since severe volatility in its values is one of the main concerns of local Liquid Chlorine producers, it is important to understand the market dynamics & the related threats that may hamper the productivity of the Chlor-Alkali firms.
