In addition, the developing pulp & paper industry would offer significant opportunities for the Middle East & Africa chlorine market due to its continued reliance on chlorine-based bleaching agents and the increasing sustainable paper production. Chlorine is a key component in bleaching to whiten pulp fibers and improve paper quality. From water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and plastic manufacturing to crop protection, chlorine and its derivatives play crucial roles in enhancing efficiency, safety, and hygiene across various applications. Thus, the increasing adoption of chlorine across different end-use industries is expected to provide opportunities to the Middle East & Africa chlorine market over the coming years.
Middle East & Africa Chlorine Market Overview
The Middle East & Africa chlorine market is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The market growth in the Middle East & Africa is attributed to the high demand for chlorine from industries such as water treatment, plastic, chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and textile. In the oil & gas industry, chlorine finds important applications in various processes and operations. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the Middle East comprises 5 of the top 10 oil-producing countries—Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Iran, and Kuwait. It is responsible for producing ~27% of world’s oil production. Chlorine dioxide is effective in remedying bacterial and sulfide contamination commonly found in oilfield production, injection, and disposal fluids. The strong presence of the oil & gas sector in the region creates a huge demand for chlorine and its derivatives. In addition, the Middle East & Africa is an important region in the international plastics & packaging industry where the demand is growing significantly. The growing packaging and building & construction sectors in the region support the chlorine demand. Further, the growth of the chemical and healthcare industries provides lucrative opportunities for the Middle East & Africa chlorine market in the region.
