Global Calcium Chloride Market

The global calcium chloride market has experienced moderate growth in the past few years. This can be attributed to the diverse applications of calcium chloride in industries such as mining, construction, oil and gas, food and beverage, etc.

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Calcium Chloride Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global calcium chloride market reached a value of US$ 1.3 Billion in 2017, registering a CAGR of 5.8% during 2010-2017. Calcium chloride, with the chemical formula CaCl₂, is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine which is highly soluble in water. It remains solid at room temperature and behaves as a typical ionic halide. Calcium chloride is generally found in small quantities along with other salts in seawater and mineral springs. It is used as a food additive, preservative, and brine in refrigeration plants. Besides this, calcium chloride is also utilized as a drying agent in water treatment plants.

Market Trends:

The applications of calcium chloride as a dehumidifier and concrete accelerator have resulted in its increased demand, primarily in the concrete industry. A rise in construction and mining activities, particularly in the developing countries, has propelled the demand for calcium chloride since it is largely used as a dust controlling agent. Additionally, as calcium chloride can lower the freezing point of water, it is used as a de-icing agent on roads, pavements and sidewalks during winters. Due to this, it is majorly utilized in heavy snowfall regions like Europe and North America. Further, the liquid form of calcium chloride is a common raw material which is employed as a drilling fluid in the gas well drilling industry. Rising demand for oil and gas from numerous countries has impelled the sales of calcium chloride across the world. The market is further anticipated to reach a value of about US$ 1.8 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2018-2023.
