Growing demand from water and wastewater treatment industry and flourishment of PVC manufacturing industry attributed to the South & Central America chlorine market expansion.

In recent years, the chlorine demand has steadily increased from the water and wastewater treatment industry due to several factors crucial for maintaining public health and environmental sustainability. The growing population is leading to increased water consumption and wastewater generation, which puts immense pressure on water resources. As urbanization and industrialization continue to expand, the need to treat larger volumes of water and wastewater becomes paramount. Chlorine in various forms such as chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite is recognized as an effective disinfectant. It effectively eliminates harmful pathogens, bacteria, and viruses for water that can pose significant health risks if left untreated. Thus, chlorine is considered a crucial cost-effective solution to treat large quantities of water to ensure the delivery of safe and clean drinking water to millions of people across the country. Furthermore, robust water disinfection methods have become critical with the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the emergence of waterborne diseases. In addition to its primary role in pathogen removal, chlorine is used in water treatment to address other water quality concerns such as algae & algae toxin control and iron & manganese removal. Thus, upsurging demand for chlorine from the water & wastewater industry due to the rising water consumption from growing population and the increasing need to ensure safe and clean drinking water consumption drives the South & Central America chlorine market growth.
