COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The abrupt COVID-19 pandemic outbreak prompted the imposition of strict lockdown measures across several nations, leading to the temporary shutdown of several calcium chloride end-use companies. The financial crisis and the pandemic is having a particularly negative impact on the calcium chloride market report. Businesses are ceasing operations and closing down production facilities to stop the virus from spreading, and the government has limited numerous manufacturing production activities. Most of the major end-use sectors' demand and consumption rates for the chemical have decreased.

Calcium Chloride Market Dynamics

Calcium chloride is employed in the drilling process to eliminate drill cuttings and maintain the ideal fluid balance in the drilling fluid. The market for calcium chloride is also significantly influenced by the building sector. In construction, calcium chloride is used to shorten the setting time of concrete and minimize dusting. The increase in world population is also impacting the expansion of the industry. According to the UN, the world population is anticipated to rise by 2 billion in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050.

Market Drivers

• Increasing need for wastewater effluent treatment

The calcium chloride market forecast has grown dramatically due to increased calcium chloride use in drilling operations and oilfield services for establishing and maintaining oil and gas wells. The market for calcium chloride is further fueled by its widespread application in wastewater treatment due to its inexpensive calcium ion source and pH requirements for wastewater effluent treatment. Calcium chloride is projected to have expanded potential applications in agricultural and waste treatment industries as a result of the rising need for the treatment of wastewater effluents.

• The increasing need for de-icing and dust control operations.


• The expanding needs of the gas and oil industries

Market Restraints:

• Health Concerns

When calcium chloride comes into contact with water, calcium and chloride ions are released. These ions are dangerous to drink and can poison water. The negative consequences of calcium chloride, such as kidney stones, comas, discomfort in the bones and joints, and abnormal heartbeats, will probably limit the market's expansion.

Market Opportunities:

• The rise in the use of calcium chloride in wastewater treatment

Many companies see the treatment of wastewater as a serious issue. Waste is produced when wastewater is not properly treated, and manufacturers face large liability. Due to its cheap calcium ion source and the necessary pH levels for wastewater effluent treatment, calcium chloride is widely used in wastewater treatment, which drives the market. Due to the growing demand for wastewater effluent treatment, calcium chloride is anticipated to have significant applications in the agricultural and waste treatment sectors.

Calcium Chloride Market Segmentation

Product Type Insights

The calcium chloride market segmentation, based on product type, is  flakes 77%, flakes 94%, prills 94%, and pellets 94%. The flakes 77% segment held a major share in 2021. Its market share is anticipated to grow greatly during the anticipated period, making it the dominant product type. Increased demand for calcium chloride flakes, particularly for de-icing and dust management applications, is the main factor driving the market. Its market share is anticipated to grow greatly during the anticipated period, making it the dominant product type. Increased demand for calcium chloride flakes, particularly for de-icing and dust management applications, is the main factor driving the market. Besides this, the flakes 94% segment was the fastest growing segment due to the need for construction.

Form Insights

The calcium chloride market segmentation, based on the form, is liquid, hydrated solid, and others. The liquid segment had a prominent share in 2021. For snow and ice control, rock salt is combined with liquid calcium chloride up to 35%. Salt is applied less frequently and repetitively when calcium chloride is present (by 40%). It keeps working longer, preventing ice from adhering to the pavement or road. However, the hydrated solid segment was the fastest growing. An affordable drying agent, calcium chloride in its anhydrous form, is crucial for laboratory drying procedures. Additionally, calcium chloride is a firming agent in food and is a disposable, eco-friendly desiccant suitable for food use.

Raw Material Insights

The calcium chloride market research segmentation, based on Raw Material, is natural brine, Solvay process (by-product), limestone, and hydrochloric acid (HCL)). The Solvay process (by-product) segment had a prominent share in 2021. The Solvay process synthesizes high-purity limestone and salt brine solution to yield soda ash and calcium chloride as final products. Natural brine, brine purification, and enhanced brine are other procedures. Besides this, the natural brine segment is anticipated to be the fastest growing. Natural brines like salt lakes and deposits are used to purify calcium chloride. The producers favor this technique since it is economical and has a little negative environmental impact.

Grade Insights

The calcium chloride market segmentation, by grade application, is food, industrial, agriculture, and pharmaceutical. In 2021 the industrial grade segment had a major share in the market due to its numerous uses in various industries, including mining and oil and gas. However, food grade was the fastest growing because it speeds up the hardness process for making jam and jelly.

Application Insights

The calcium chloride market segmentation, by application, is dust control and de-icing, gas and oil, construction, food, and others. In 2021, the de-icing segment held a prominent share of the market. Calcium chloride is useful for preventing road dust from mixing with the surrounding air and reducing air pollution. In reality, the ability of calcium chloride to reduce the freezing point of water has increased market demand. The dust management and de-icing industry are expected to expand dramatically, largely due to the developed countries increased usage of de-icing products in recent years. In colder climates, the product's ability to lower the freezing point of water distinguishes it as a major substance. Calcium chloride is used as a highway de-icing agent to reduce the frequency of accidents caused by ice and snow. Besides, the construction sector fuels were the fastest growing. Concrete mixtures that contain calcium chloride help hasten the early setting phase of construction. Thus, the rise of the worldwide calcium chloride market can also be attributed to the rising demand for a lavish lifestyle. In the upcoming six years, it is anticipated that the market for calcium chloride will grow due to the expansion of infrastructure projects and higher government spending on highways and flyovers.
