Chlorine Compressors Market: COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has halted the production of several products in the chlorine compressor industry due to the protracted lockdown in important nations. Over the last several months, this has severely slowed the chlorine compressor industry's expansion, which is anticipated to continue in 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, sales of machinery and equipment were already impacted by COVID-19, and the market growth for the year is projected to suffer. The United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and China, which are major manufacturing nations adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak, accounted for most of the equipment and machinery demand in the past. However, this demand has since stopped due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Chlorine Compressors Market: Drivers

Surging Wastewater Treatment Projects to Drive Market Growth

As it eliminates dangerous germs, including parasites, viruses, and bacteria, chlorine is frequently used in water treatment. It also lessens the taste and smell of bad water. The slime bacteria, molds, and algae that often grow on the walls of water mains, storage tanks, and water supply reservoirs are also helped by chlorine. The rise of the water treatment sector is fueled by the explosion in global wastewater treatment projects. For instance, the Philippines Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant in Mandaluyong started building in 2020. It would adhere to exacting national criteria that are more demanding than those set by the EU to minimize adverse effects on Manila Bay and the Pasig River and its environmental footprint. The project is currently in development and is anticipated to be finished in the first quarter of 2024. Therefore, such projects are boosting the demand for cleaning chemicals, which is anticipated to fuel the chlorine demand, thereby fueling the growth of the chlorine compressor market.

Government Investments in Research & Development Projects to Drive Market Growth

Important firms invest in large research and development projects to create compressors with various capacities. This aids them in expanding their product lineup. The industry participants are motivated to stay competitive by the desire to improve product features and performance. Because of the increased demand for chlorine across a range of end uses, the sector is expected to expand. It is projected that a key issue in determining corporate success would be the availability of raw materials and the fluctuating costs associated with them due to macroeconomic conditions. Since chlorine must be treated before use, makers of chlorine compressors have benefited greatly from manufacturers' efforts to eliminate or limit the usage of halogenated refrigerants by increasing the use of chlorine for industrial cooling.

Chlorine Compressors Market: Restraints

Chemical Leasing to Hamper Market Growth

In the foreseeable future, chemical leasing is a viable limitation on the chlorine sector. Chemical manufacturers in the chemical leasing model are accountable for more than just producing the chemicals; they must also dispose of them properly. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization implemented chemical leasing in 2014 with assistance from the Austrian government (UNIDO). UNIDO requires companies to cover the cost of recycling the chemicals they produce. Through this procedure, the profit margins might shrink, resulting in a smaller market and fewer producers throughout the value chain. Chlorine compressor manufacturers will certainly have difficulties as a result of these requirements.

Chlorine Compressors Market: Segment Overview

Liquid Ring Compressors Segment to Dominate Market Due to its Ability to Handle Chlorine in Liquid State

Based on product type, the chlorine compressor market is segmented into the liquid ring and centrifugal compressors. The liquid ring compressors segment dominates the market and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.
