Market Overview

Duration: Long-term outlook to 2050

Chlorine and caustic soda are co-produced through brine electrolysis, primarily through membrane or diaphragm electrolytic technology. Chlorine and caustic soda consumption are generally aligned with economic growth and activity. However, chlorine demand is closely correlated to construction activity, while caustic soda demand correlates more closely to general manufacturing activities, the global economy, and the consumption of durable and nondurable goods. Vinyls production is the largest global chlorine demand segment, which includes polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene dichloride (EDC), and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Other significant global chlorine end uses include chlorinated intermediates, water treatment, MDI, TDI, and epichlorohydrin. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) have clean-energy applications in electric vehicles and wind turbines. Alumina refining for aluminum smelting is the largest global caustic soda consumption segment, followed by organic and inorganic chemicals manufacturing such as isocyanates, polycarbonates, and titanium dioxide. As vehicle electrification continues, more caustic soda will be consumed both for the processing of the metals required for lithium-ion batteries but also in the manufacturing and recycling of lithium battery cells.

The disparate demand drivers of caustic soda and chlorine frequently result in the two stoichiometrically related coproducts being in imbalanced demand tension, especially when external factors such as extreme weather events or interest rates inhibit or catalyze construction activity. As a result, the chlor-alkali industry has an economic cycle driven by the supply and demand dynamics of chlorine and caustic soda. The total electrochemical unit (ECU) value is aligned with the 1 metric ton chlorine to 1.1 dry metric ton caustic soda ratio that makes up the ECU. Ethylene prices magnify the complexity of ECU value dynamics through vinyls production, a segment that consumes more than one-third of all chlorine produced globally. In some geographies, this ratio is more than one-third, such as in the US, where a significant proportion of all chlorine demand is consumed for vinyls production. Fully-integrated chlor-vinyls producers consume electricity, salt, and ethylene in their plants and produce two end products: vinyls and caustic soda. Inasmuch, chlorine is only a manufacturing intermediate, the value of which is determined by the market prices of vinyls and caustic soda and the cost of ethylene. Therefore, in addition to supply/demand balance factors, the implied value of chlorine in integrated vinyls units influences the market value of caustic soda.
