Market.us announces the publication of its most recently generated research report titled, “Global Calcium Hypochlorite Market by Production Process (Calcium Process, Sodium Process), By Application (Water Treatment, Bleaching, Others), and by Region – Global Forecast to 2028.”, Which offers a holistic view of the global calcium hypochlorite market through systematic segmentation that covers every aspect of the target market.

The global calcium hypochlorite market is projected to be US$ 604.5 Mn in 2018 to reach US$ 722.7 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 1.8%.

Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with the formula Ca(ClO)₂. The chemical is mostly used for water sanitation, as well as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. Sanitation is highly essential in the prevention of water-borne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, etc. It is a white solid that is added in granular or tablet form in swimming pools for disinfection. Furthermore, Calcium hypochlorite is also used to disinfect surfaces of utensils and equipment. Other common uses of calcium hypochlorite include bathroom cleansers, algaecides, household disinfectant sprays, herbicides, and laundry detergents.

This compound is relatively stable, is similar to sodium hypochlorite in disinfection properties and has more available chlorine than sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach). It has excellent stability when kept in dry storage, maintaining its potency over time. Commercial grades of Ca(OCl)2 generally contain about 70% available chlorine making it appropriate for both drinking water and wastewater applications. Calcium hypochlorite is appropriate for both drinking water and wastewater applications.

Application of calcium hypochlorite is widely known for its usage as a chlorine compound, which is highly effective against several micro-organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, slime and other unwanted and harmful micro-organisms in the environment. The market is driven by its usage in hot tub water, swimming pools, and spas. It is used to kill thriving micro-organisms which are harmful and a threat to human health. Also, it helps to prevent contamination. Strong solutions of calcium hypochlorite are very effective to disinfect and sanitize pool sides, pool bottom, decks, diving boards, ladders and other surfaces. It is also widely used to treat wastewater and disinfect sewage. It is usually used as a bleaching agent and an industrial sanitizer. Furthermore, another important application of calcium hypochlorite is in municipal water treatment plants.

Calcium hypochlorite is mostly preferred over chlorine in liquid or gas form along with liquid bleach in water treatment application. Calcium hypochlorite is very often used to treat wells, lakes, ponds, water bodies filters, controlling and removing algae in reservoirs, and other water treatment equipment. Also, calcium hypochlorite is used in tablet form for potable water treatment applications.

Global calcium hypochlorite market is expected to grow at a steady rate, owing to the increasing use of the chemical to sanitize swimming pools, wastewater treatment plants, etc. A growing concern of population towards water-borne diseases is also another factor expected to support market growth. However, the high cost of product and high capital investments required for plant set-up is expected to restrain the growth of the market to a certain extent.

Global Calcium Hypochlorite Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018–2028  

Increasing demand towards sanitizing and disinfecting public swimming pools, prevent the spread of water-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, etc. among the population is expected to be the key factor driving the growth of the global calcium hypochlorite market.

Growing consumption of calcium hypochlorite towards disinfection of water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, sewage to provide clean drinking water to the general public is another major factor fueling the growth of the target market.

Over-exposure of calcium hypochlorite can lead to several health hazards including irritation and burning of eyes, lungs and skin. It may also result in medical emergencies such as pulmonary edema, which is expected to hamper the growth of the global calcium hypochlorite market to a certain extent.
