Calcium Hypochlorite Slurry Market Analysis:
The global calcium hypochlorite slurry market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its versatile applications in sanitation and water treatment. Calcium hypochlorite slurry is a semi-liquid mixture obtained after dissolving calcium hypochlorite powder in water and is considered an excellent disinfectant which boosts its demand in municipal water treatment plant. According to McWane Ductile, an industry leader in the manufacture of water distribution and infrastructure products, calcium hypochlorite is a powerful disinfectant that eliminates nearly 99.9 percent of all germs, including bacteria, viruses, and mildew. It ensures that the water flowing through potable water lines remain clean and healthy.
The market is also influenced by superiority of slurry attributes over pure powdered or granule form of calcium hypochlorite. Dosing rates of slurry can be controlled much efficiently and easily, making it useful in municipal water treatment systems where accurate dosing is crucial. Slurry is comparatively stable and soluble which makes it easier to be dosed and pumped in treatment tanks.
Moreover, the global elevation in wastewater generation and increasing prevalence of waterborne diseases has heightened the requirement for effective water treatment systems, which eventually boosts the demand for calcium hypochlorite slurry. According to UNICEF, 829,000 people die annually from diseases directly attributable to inadequate sanitation and unsafe water. 3.6 billion people lack safe sanitation at home, while 1.8 billion live in homes without safe drinking water. According to Eco-Septic, manufacturer of eco-friendly wastewater systems, the average person produces 150 liters of wastewater each day, with 93% being produced indoors.
Technological advancements appeal numerous end-use industries by improving efficiency and quality which ultimately aids in market. The slurry form of calcium hypochlorite is easier to handle and has lower dust accumulation during storage and handling which also assist in market expansion.
Calcium Hypochlorite Slurry Market Trends:
Increasing Demand for Clean Water
The soaring global water safety and quality concerns has spurred a boost in need for efficient water treatment solutions. Wastewater is pernicious for both environment and humans, and the increase in wastewater generation demands the efficient treatment technologies which consequently leads to elevated demand for chlorine hypochlorite slurry. According to UN digital service Relief Web, each year, 380 billion m3 of municipal wastewater are generated globally. Wastewater production is expected to increase by 24% by 2030 and 51% by 2050. According to the United Sates Geological Survey, if wastewater is not properly treated, then the environment and human health can be negatively impacted. These impacts can include harm to fish and wildlife populations, oxygen depletion, beach closures and other restrictions on recreational water use, restrictions on fish and shellfish harvesting and contamination of drinking water.
Brand like HTH offers a variety of calcium hypochlorite products which contains 65% to 78% of chlorine. Its product HTH Shock has the fastest dissolution rate and can form slurry. These products are approved by DWI (drinking water inspectorate) and can be used for commercial, industrial and municipal applications.
Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance
The stringent water safety standards and regulations is a key driver for the market as it necessitates the use of water treatment chemicals and disinfectants such as calcium hypochlorite slurry. Water quality standards are mandated by regulatory bodies which consequently compels the industries and municipalities to adopt efficient and eco-friendly disinfection methods.
For instance, European Parliament recently implemented new rules to improve urban wastewater treatment and reuse. According to the new regulations, viruses and emerging pathogens, chemical pollutants like PFAS, microplastics and antimicrobial resistance will be strictly monitored. Calcium hypochlorite will be a critical component in meeting the new regulations worldwide as it is efficient in killing various harmful micro-organisms.
Latest Industry News:
