Chlorine can be applied for the deactivation of most microorganisms. Chlorine does not exist by itself & it is generally bounded by other elements. Most chlorine can be found dissolved in seas and salty lakes as well as in the ground as rock salts or halite. Chlorine is used to treat drinking water and swimming pool water. It is also used to make various consumer products from paper to paints and from textiles to insecticides.

The market is mainly driven by the growing demand from end-user industries such as aromatics, textiles, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, insecticides etc. Moreover, chlorine is used as a raw material for the production of an extensive range of important chemicals which is further expected to drive the market demand in the near future. Furthermore, more than 95% of water treatment plants and 85% of pharmaceutical industries across the globe use chlorine in production processes. However, its energy-intensive operations and environmental concerns may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
