Sodium Hypochlorite Market Outlook:
Sodium Hypochlorite Market size was valued at USD 316.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 604.6 million by 2037, rising a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2037. In 2025, the industry size of sodium hypochlorite is estimated at USD 330.5 million.
The main factor propelling the growth of the global sodium hypochlorite market is the increasing demand for water treatment solutions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the production capacity of chlorine in the U.S. saw a notable decrease of around 12% in 2021, mainly due to the shutdown of manufacturing plants and operational difficulties such as maintenance work and shortages in staffing shortages. These interruptions have extended lead times for suppliers by as much as 51%, affecting the availability of chlorine products, including sodium hypochlorite, a crucial component for water disinfection processes.
Regarding the supply chain of raw materials, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for chemicals and associated products, excluding bleaches, was recorded at 441.67 in November 2024. This figure suggests a consistent pricing trend for raw materials pertinent to the production of sodium hypochlorite. In the realm of global commerce, the U.S. occupied the leading position in overall imports of hypochlorite, chlorites, and hypobromites in 2021, highlighting its significant role in the international supply chain for these chemicals. These elements highlight the necessity of a robust supply chain and strategic investments in production capacity to satisfy the increasing demand for water treatment solutions.
