India Aluminum Chloride Market Trends:

Rising Demand from the Water Treatment Industry

The increasing demand from the water treatment sector is majorly driving the India aluminum chloride market growth. Groundwater pollution impacted over two million individuals in India in 2024 with the major pollutants being groundwater sources contaminated by heavy metals and arsenic. The bulk of pollution comes from the agricultural industry and the release of industrial wastewater, leading to a migration from rural areas to urban centers. With rapid urbanization and tightening environmental regulations, municipalities and industries are adopting advanced water purification technologies. Aluminum chloride is widely used as a coagulant agent in wastewater treatment to remove impurities, which is key to maintaining clean water access. Additionally, government initiatives and the smart cities project promote sustainable water management practices, which in turn drive up the demand. In addition, the increasing treatment of industrial wastewater in sectors such as textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals are driving the growth of the industrial wastewater treatment market. Manufacturers are increasingly focused on improving production efficiency to meet the higher demand in addition to looking for cost-effective alternatives. However, the fluctuations in raw material prices and competition with other coagulants, such as polyaluminum chloride (PAC), pose a challenge. Despite these challenges, the water treatment industry remains a key end-use sector, contributing significantly to the aluminum chloride market in India.

Growth in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Applications

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are emerging as major consumers of aluminum chloride in India, contributing to market growth. Aluminum chloride is a key ingredient in antiperspirants, astringents, and topical medications due to its antimicrobial and sweat-reducing properties. The expanding personal care industry, driven by rising disposable incomes and increasing hygiene awareness, is fueling demand. In pharmaceuticals, it is used in formulations for treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and as a catalyst in drug synthesis. The growing prevalence of skin-related disorders and the rise of generic drug manufacturing is further creating a positive India aluminum chloride market outlook. A research report released by IMARC Group indicates that the pharmaceutical market in India was valued at USD 61.36 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow to USD 174.31 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.32% from 2025 to 2033. Companies are investing in research to develop high-purity aluminum chloride for specialized applications. However, regulatory scrutiny on chemical safety and the shift toward natural alternatives in cosmetics could restrain growth. Nevertheless, the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors are expected to remain key growth drivers for the aluminum chloride market in India.
