Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is manufactured by mixing hydrogen chloride gas with water. It is highly corrosive and reacts with all metals to form explosive hydrogen gas. It aids in producing vinyl chloride (C2H3Cl) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) for making plastics. It is used to prepare compounds needed for water treatment, which include polyaluminium chloride (PAC), iron, and chloride. It is employed to neutralize alkaline residues in cotton and enhance the bleaching process of the fabric in the textile industry. As a result, it is widely utilized in food manufacturing, steel processing, oil procuring, ore processing, and producing batteries across the globe.
The increasing demand for HCl in manufacturing soy sauce, ketchup, crackers, and soft drinks, along with the burgeoning food and beverage (F&B) industry around the world, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Besides this, the rising production of hydrolyzed vegetable protein for vegan consumers is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing utilization of HCl in the steel industry to remove iron oxide and scales on the surface of the steel is contributing to the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing demand for HCl in the pharmaceutical industry to control the pH of medicinal products is offering a favorable market outlook. Additionally, the increasing production of batteries due to the rising purchase of electronic devices is strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing oil extraction activities to provide sufficient fuel for vehicles and airplanes across the globe are positively influencing the market. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to enhance the manufacturing process of HCl. They are also focusing on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to boost product sales and expand their customer base, which is expected to bolster the growth of the market.
