The Chlorine Market is estimated to witness a CAGR of 4.9% between 2014 and 2019 in terms of value, and is anticipated to generate a global market value of $33,362 million by 2019.
Key Players In Chlorine Market:
- The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.)
- BASF SE (Germany)
- Formosa Plastics Corporation (Taiwan)
- Ineos Group Ltd. (U.K.)
- Tosoh Corporation (Japan), and Hanwha Chemical Corporation (Korea).
The report also defines driving and restraining factors for the global chlorine market with the analysis of trends, opportunities, burning issues, winning imperatives, and challenges. Some of the drivers include growing increased demand from the fast growing chemical industry and increased demand from the EDC/ PVC industries.
