Market Overview:

The Europe calcium chloride market size reached 716,000 Tons in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 804,600 Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.83% during 2023-2028.

Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is an odorless, whitish, and anhydrous salt created from the ionic bond between calcium cations and chloride anions. It can also be obtained directly from limestone through the Solvay process. This inorganic compound is deliquescent and immiscible in water, on account of which, it is primarily used to obtain highly dense solutions. Other applications of calcium chloride include dust control, desiccation, well drilling activities, calcifying aquarium water, and food additive.

Europe Calcium Chloride Market Trends:

The increasing usage of calcium chloride as a de-icing agent due to heavy snowfalls across Europe is majorly driving the growth of the market. Apart from this, calcium chloride is widely adopted in the food and beverage (F&B) industry for cheese production, beer brewing, meat tenderization, and as a firming agent in canned food. The growth of the calcium chloride market is further supported by a significant rise in the demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products in the region. Additionally, the deliquescent nature of calcium chloride makes it a crucial maintenance material for haul roads in mining applications, which is acting as a growth-inducing factor. The escalating demand for safe drinking water has further led to the extensive product application in wastewater treatment plants to remove impurities and increase the mineral content, which is fueling the market growth. Moreover, the versatility of calcium chloride has increased its demand in concrete acceleration, tire weighting, brine refrigeration, dust control and other chemical processes, which is creating a positive outlook for the market in the region.
