Freedonia Market Research Freedonia Focus Reports Alkalies & Chlorine: United States

Alkalies & Chlorine: United States

Focus Reports, United States

Report Overview

This report provides annual forecasts to 2027 for US alkalis and chlorine demand and shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product in terms of: caustic soda (sodium hydroxide); chlorine; soda ash; and other alkalies such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), caustic potash, and potassium carbonate.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022.

Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is not included in this report. In addition, alkali and chlorine products that are further processed into other products at the site of manufacture (such as caustic soda and chlorine further processed to create bleach or chlorine used to manufacture ethylene dichloride) are excluded from the scope of this report. Re-exports of alkalies and chlorine are excluded from demand and trade figures.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.

FAQs

US chlor-alkali producers are quite exposed to global market conditions, with exports accounting for 34% of domestic shipments in 2022.
Most major chlor-alkali producers are vertically integrated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) manufacturers (e.g., Shin-Etsu Chemical) who align chlor-alkali production with the chlorine requirements of downstream product output.
Chlor-alkali prices are affected by several factors, including supply and demand imbalances caused by the co-production of chlorine and caustic soda, global market conditions, and energy costs.
