Chlorine is the most well-known oxidizing specialist utilized openly water supplies. With the US Public Health Service (PHS) suggesting that the public water frameworks across the United States be tried for this risky synthetic, the quantity of individuals who know about the dangers presented by openness to chlorination has drastically expanded. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is liable for characterizing the human disease hazard related with openness to this compound. Due to this openness, the part of chlorination in controlling water quality ought to be genuinely thought of.

Quick development of the synthetic business in both created and arising economies is required to drive development of the worldwide chlorine market. The synthetics area has seen monstrous development with expanding interest for different substance end-use enterprises. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian synthetic compounds area is required to arrive at US$ 300 billion out of 2025, enrolling a yearly development pace of around 15–20%. As indicated by a similar source, natural and inorganic synthetic substances send out represented US$ 13.85 billion from April to November 2020. Chlorine has different applications, ordinarily being utilized as a sanitizer. It is utilized to treat drinking water and pool water. In addition, it is utilized to make various buyer items like paints, paper, materials, and insect sprays. Subsequently, these elements are relied upon to drive development of the worldwide chlorine market. Moreover, expanding interest for PVC from the development area is required to move the worldwide chlorine market development soon.

Be that as it may, negative natural effects and energy-serious activities are required to control development of the worldwide chlorine market. Quick advancements in developing markets, for example, China, India, and Japan can introduce rewarding development openings for industry major parts sooner rather than later. Among areas, Asia Pacific is required to observe huge development in the worldwide chlorine market. This is inferable from expanding interest for PVC in car, development, and bundling areas across the district. Also, uncontrolled development of synthetics area is relied upon to support the local market development. Besides, North America is required to enroll a powerful development rate, attributable to developing movement from mercury-based creation to film based innovation around there.

Key companies involved in the global chlorine market are Nouryon, Tosoh Corporation, BASF SE, Tata Chemicals Ltd., Ercros S.A., OLIN Corporation, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), FMC Corporation, and Hanwha Chemical Corporation.

For instance, in October 2019, Ercros S.A., a Spanish chemicals company, expanded its chlorine-caustic soda plant in Vila-Seca I factory with a new electrolyzer.
