According to the World Bank in 2016, 783 million people across the globe lacked access to safe drinking water, 2.5 billion people lacked adequate sanitization, and large percentage of hospital beds were populated by people afflicted with waterborne diseases. At the current rate, 90% of all available freshwater is expected to be consumed in the next 25 years. Consequently, desalination and water reuse is likely to become a vital source of freshwater. Currently, more than 16,000 desalination plants are operational in at least 140 countries in the world. More than 100 water reuse facilities are available across the globe. These facilities require reliable disinfection technologies, including calcium hypochlorite either in pre or post-treatment form, to prevent biological fouling within the system or the distribution system. Thus, increase in demand for fresh water and decrease in its sources are anticipated to boost the demand for calcium hypochlorite in the near future.

Companies need to primarily focus on the marketing strategy of their products in order to increase their market share. Furthermore, manufacturers need to expand their sales force by increasing and strengthening their distribution networks. Companies also need to focus on competitive pricing, since players such as China Petrochemical Corporation (SINOPEC), Tosoh Corporation, Lonza Group Ltd., Nippon Soda Co., Ltd, and Westlake Chemical Corporation have integrated their operations.

Major players in the calcium hypochlorite market have adopted expansion and merger & acquisition as their key strategies to expand their network. For example, in March 2018, Tosoh Corporation established a new holding company named Tosoh China Holdings Co., Ltd. (Tosoh China) in Shanghai, China. The new company is expected to help Tosoh Corporation strengthen its position in China. In September 2015, Tosoh Corporation acquired the remaining stake in the Philippines-based chlor-alkali manufacturer Mabuhay Vinyl Corporation and made the company its subsidiary. The acquisition is estimated to help the company strengthen its position in the market. Acquiring small players to maintain high market share is likely to be a long term strategy of calcium hypochlorite manufacturers. For example, in August 2016, Westlake Chemical Corporation acquired Axiall Corporation for US$ 33.00 per share in an all-cash transaction for a total value of US$ 3.8 Bn. The acquisition is likely to strengthen the company's position in the calcium hypochlorite market in North America.
