The global calcium hypochlorite powder market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its versatile applications in hygiene management, water treatment, and sanitation. Calcium hypochlorite, common market name bleaching powder, is considered an excellent disinfectant which boosts its demand in swimming pools and municipal water treatment plant. According to ResearchGate, calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent, exhibiting strong bactericidal ability with little effect on the human body, which is why it is used as a disinfectant in water treatment, the disinfection of fruits and vegetables, and the washing of eggshells.
The surge in wastewater generation due to increased industrial activities and global rise in water pollution has necessitated the requirement for water treatment systems, which ultimately boosts the demand for calcium hypochlorite. According to the journal Chemosphere, currently, approximately 380 trillion liters of wastewater is generated globally every year. However, only 24% of the total wastewater generated from households and industries is treated before its disposal in rivers or reused in agriculture.
Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of waterborne diseases has elevated the demand for effective water purification methods, consequently propelling the calcium hypochlorite market growth. According to the journal of Environmental Health Insights, annually, 4 billion cases of water-related diseases cause 3.4 million deaths worldwide, which is a leading cause of deaths especially in children under 5 years who die of water-related diseases. Moreover, 76.5% of the people are relying on unimproved water sources.
Technological advancements aid in market growth by enhancing the quality, effectiveness, and shelf-life of the chemical. The powdered form of calcium hypochlorite is comparatively easier to transport and store than liquid chlorine which also assist in market expansion.
Rising Demand for Water Treatment Technologies
The increasing global concerns about water safety and quality has caused a surge in demand for efficient water treatment solutions. Wastewater is extremely hazardous for both humans and environment, and the rise in wastewater generation requires water treatment technologies which automatically leads to heightened demand for chlorine hypochlorite. According to The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, unsafe water source resulted in 1.2 million deaths and 71.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), including 1.1 million deaths and 61.1 million DALYs from diarrheal diseases. According to the United Nations, globally, over 80% of all wastewaters is discharged without treatment. Whereas high-income countries treat about 70% of the municipal and industrial wastewater they generate. That ratio drops to 38% in upper-middle-income countries and to 28% in lower-middle-income countries.
Companies like Aditya Birla Chemicals offer calcium hypochlorite powder brands VIKRAM, LION, and SHAKTIMAAN that comprise of dry free-flowing powder with very high degree of superior stability. It is produced in a modern state-of-art plant using high purity hydrated lime. It has low bulk density and preferred by all Water Treatment companies due to the salient bleaching characteristics and low sludge when dissolved in water. It is soluble in cold water, has low moisture content and free from any heavy metal impurities.
Expansion in Pulp and Textile Industries
Calcium hypochlorite powder is heavily utilized for bleaching processes in pulp and textile industries. Additionally, it is also widely used to treat wastewater generated from textiles industries. According to the journal of Groundwater for Sustainable Development, complete removal of the color generated by textile industry and over 95% removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was achieved. Reducing the chemical oxygen demand calls for reduced loading to the downstream biological treatment system, thereby reducing aeration requirement and thus energy consumption.
According to pulp paper mill, calcium hypochlorite bleach is used in paper industry greatly compared to sodium hypochlorite. In textile industry, it is used for bleaching linen, cotton, and silk fabrics. According to industry report, global textile market was USD 1122 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 2961.72 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.90%. The data suggests that the rapid textile market growth will significantly boost the demand for calcium hypochlorite powder.
Clean Sol provides a high-quality calcium hypochlorite dry powder which is ensures powerful and effective bleaching results. With its professional-grade formula, it guarantees excellent stain removal and whitening capabilities. It can be applied in the textile industry for bleaching and disinfecting fabrics and can be Utilized in the paper industry for the bleaching of pulp.
