CALCIUM CHLORIDE DESICCANT MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global calcium chloride desiccant market size was valued at approximately USD 0.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.17 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.1% from 2025 to 2033.

Calcium chloride desiccants are highly specialized drying agents that extract moisture from a variety of materials. Because of their compound properties, they either are solvents or rather insoluble substances that absorb moisture. Calcium chloride desiccants are employed to protect the components of a sealable bag from moisture damage. This is why many sealed products include a parcel of silica gel and many other desiccant materials. These desiccants can digest a substantial amount of moisture and hold a significant proportion of their mass in moisture. Calcium chloride desiccants are also employed in more modern applications like moisture removal, waste disposal and cleanup, and regenerative drying.

COVID-19 Impact: Interruption in Supply Chains to Decline Market Share

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with calcium chloride desiccant experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The recent coronavirus outbreak had a detrimental effect on the working of calcium chloride desiccants market. The serious disruptions in various supply-chain and manufacturing operations caused by different preventative lockdowns enacted by governments to combat disease spread result in massive financial losses for the market. As a consequence of the COVID-19 disease outbreak, the manufacturing of electronics components has been stalled due to a logistics activities constraint and a global shortage of manpower.

The COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in the partial or complete shutdown of chloride desiccant end-use industries. Furthermore, due to the shutdown implemented throughout various countries, domestic and international transportation was hindered in 2020, but some countries have begun vaccination drives, positively impacting the supply chain of calcium chloride desiccant market.

The aforementioned factors will have an impact on the calcium chloride desiccant market income trajectory over the forecast period. On the plus side, as COVID cases decline, the calcium chloride desiccant market share is expected to revitalize as personal regulatory authorities begin to unwind these enforced lockdowns. The suspended and forced to cancel operations will continue, and the market is expected to expand as a result. As a result, the industry will recover and grow following COVID.

Latest Trends

Liquid Crystal Device to Intensify Market Magnification

Although the glass substrate, polarizer, and filter lens comprising in a liquid crystal device such like liquid crystal displays are cleaned and dried during the manufacturing process, they are still impacted by humidity after cooling, reducing product yield. As a result, in a dry climate where the moisture should be 40% less than after cleanup and drying, the chemical is used within the product or carton. Therefore, liquid crystal device is going to boost up the calcium chloride desiccant market growth.

Driving Factors

Packaging Industry to Boost Market Share

The chemical demand is increasing in the packaging industry, particularly in food and pharmaceutical packaging. Electronics manufacturers are striving to minimize the moisture effect on their products, which will lead to an increase in desiccant demand in the future. Furthermore, the increased utilization of desiccants in the chemical industry and even in air conditioning equipment is expected to drive the desiccants market.

Silica Gel Segment to Aid Market Forwarding

The silica gel segment is projected to expand at a 4.3% CAGR over the forecast period, while the activated alumina category is expected to grow at a 7.1% CAGR over the forecast period. Silica gel is widely used in various industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and packaging.

Restraining Factors

Increment in Machines and Setup Cost to Deplete Market Advancement

However, the cost of setting up machines and equipment to generate desiccant is indeed very significant and needs constant maintenance, so an increment in machines and equipment setup cost raises the cost of desiccant production. This, in turn, raises the cost of the end user. As a result, the desiccant market growth is stifled.
