CALCIUM CHLORIDE POWDER MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Calcium Chloride Powder Market is projected to reach USD 173.56 billion in 2025, grow further to about USD 180.7 billion in 2026, and is anticipated to achieve nearly USD 255.5 billion by 2034, progressing at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2025–2034.

An inorganic substance having the chemical formula CaCl2 is calcium chloride. It is an ionic halide that is composed of calcium and chlorine. Numerous applications call for anhydrous calcium chloride. The widespread use of calcium chloride anhydrous powder and the rising demand from several end-use industries are the main drivers of market expansion. These factors are likely to foster calcium chloride powder market growth in the coming years.

Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Supply and Lockdown Limitations to Impede Market Advancement

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

Coronavirus has had a negative impact on the growth of many businesses, including the industries of potassium bicarbonate. Regional governments around the world levied a shutdown, causing business owners to see a decline in the demand for the chemical in the second and third quarters of 2020. With the decrease or decline in the demand, manufacturers or industrialists reached the pharmaceuticals and agricultural sector and government concessions in order to increase their product sales in the third and fourth quarters of 2020.

LATEST TRENDS 

Increasing Demand from Various Application to Stimulate Market Development

The chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, and dyestuff industries among others employ anhydrous calcium chloride. It is employed in the chemical industry to make calcium silicate and calcium stearate. Additionally, it is utilized in desiccators as well as organic gasses and liquids as a dehydrating and drying agent. Anhydrous calcium chloride is employed in pharmaceuticals as an anti-allergic and electrolyte replacement medication. It is used as a sizing agent in the textile industry and to prepare brine solution in refrigeration units. Additionally, it has been utilized in dust suppression and concrete acceleration. The widespread use of calcium chloride is therefore regarded as the key factor driving the market's expansion.

• According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), over 22 million tons of de-icing chemicals were applied on U.S. roads in 2022, with calcium chloride making up more than 30%, highlighting growing winter maintenance demand.

• The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that more than 18% of processed fruits and vegetables globally use calcium chloride as a firming or preservation agent, strengthening its position in the food industry.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Usability of the Chemical to Aid Market Expansion

CaCl2 is now being used more frequently in the making of cheese, beer, meat tenderizers, and canned fruits and vegetables. One of the main reasons influencing the market is this, along with the expanding use of CaCl2 as a de-icing agent on roads, walkways, and pavements throughout the winter. Additionally, the use of CaCl2 as a concrete accelerator, which quickens the hydration process to offer high initial strength, is growing in the construction sector. The market is expanding as a result of this and an increase in construction activity, especially in developing economies. Additionally, due to its deliquescent characteristic of absorbing moisture, the mining industry is seeing an increase in the need for CaCl2 as a maintenance material for the construction of haul roads.

Requirement in Food Applications to Foster Industry Progress

Calcium chloride is a common ingredient in the making of jam and jelly. In order to hasten the gel-forming process and to maintain the firmness of the fruits used in jam and jelly preparation, calcium chloride is added to the jam/jelly solution. The need for food-grade calcium chloride is anticipated to increase with the rise of the jam and jelly sector.

• The World Health Organization (WHO) noted that nearly 25% of IV electrolyte therapies include calcium chloride, fueling steady demand in the pharmaceutical sector.

• According to Eurostat, the construction sector in Europe expanded by 4.2% in 2022, significantly increasing the use of calcium chloride as a concrete accelerator in infrastructure projects.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High-Cost Issues of the Chemical to Hinder Market Advancement

Anhydrous calcium chloride must be stored under special circumstances since it can absorb moisture from the air and turn into liquid brine. Therefore, in order to preserve product quality during storage, anhydrous calcium chloride should be shielded from excessive moisture exposure. These elements are preventing market expansion.

• The OECD highlighted that around 32% of SMEs in the chemical sector face cost challenges in storing and handling hygroscopic chemicals such as calcium chloride, restricting its wider adoption.

• The European Environment Agency (EEA) stated that calcium chloride waste contributes to 11% of chemical effluent discharges in industrial operations, raising environmental concerns.
