- The growing demand for bleaching powder in water treatment applications stems from its unparalleled efficacy in disinfection and purification processes. According to data published by the World Health Organization, in 2021, over 2 billion people live in water-stressed countries, a number expected to worsen due to climate change and population growth. Globally, at least 1.7 billion people use drinking water contaminated with faeces, which poses significant health risks. As world population increases and industrial activities intensify the need to safeguard water sources from contamination becomes paramount. Bleaching powder with its potent oxidizing properties serves as a potent disinfectant effectively neutralizing harmful pathogens, bacteria, and viruses present in water sources. The ability of bleaching powder to oxidize organic matter and remove impurities ensures the production of clean, potable water meeting strict quality standards and addressing public health concerns. The increasing reliance on bleaching powder underscores its indispensable role in ensuring access to safe and clean water across the world.
- The paper and pulp industry heavily relies on bleaching powder for bleaching wood pulp which is an important step in the manufacturing process. Bleaching powder’s powerful oxidizing properties effectively remove lignin, resins, and other impurities from wood pulp which results in a brighter and more uniform pulp suitable for paper making. This process enhances the final product's quality, strength, and appearance meeting strict industry standards and consumer expectations. With the growing demand for paper and paper-based products across the world, especially in the packaging and printing sectors the adoption of bleaching powder in the paper and pulp industry continues to rise thereby driving the market growth and innovation.
- The textile industry’s growth fuels the demand for bleaching powder because it is an indispensable component in fabric treatment and color removal processes. Bleaching powder’s oxidative properties effectively strip fabrics of impurities, stains, and unwanted colorants and prepare them for subsequent dying or finishing stages. In textile manufacturing, achieving the desired color consistency and quality necessitates bleaching to ensure uniform dye uptake. In line with this, bleaching powder serves to enhance fabric brightness and whiteness meeting aesthetic preferences and quality standards. According to a report published by Textile Exchange, global polyester production increased from 61 million tonnes in 2021 to 63,000,000 tonnes in 2022 comprising 54% of the textile market. Sustainable cotton reclaimed 27% of production in 2021/22 up from 25% the previous year. Wool production increased to 4.3% in 2022. Man-made cellulosic fibers with FSC and/or PEFC certification held a 60 to 65% of market share. As the textile industry expands globally, especially in emerging markets the demand for bleaching powder is on the rise, thereby propelling its market growth.
