Caustic Soda had the largest demand among other chlor-alkali products

Globally, the chlor-alkali market is one of the largest chemical industries, in terms of both value and volume. The major chlor-alkali products are chlorine, caustic soda, and soda ash.
Caustic soda has a wide range of applications in different end-use industries such as alumina refining, organic & inorganic chemicals, soaps & detergents, water treatment, and food and pulp & paper. Major challenges for the global caustic soda manufacturers include the high-energy costs and stringent environmental regulations. In India, there are high input costs, which make the local industry less competitive. However, there have been changes in the policies and it is expected that there will be a positive outcome for the local caustic soda industry of India. The improving manufacturing industry globally will help increase the caustic soda demand in chemical and alumina applications. Soaps and detergents application, especially in India will drive the caustic soda market in the region.
The global market size of chlor-alkali is estimated to reach USD 102.60 Billion by 2021 and is projected to register a CAGR of 5.4%. The applications for caustic soda are alumina, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, food and pulp & paper, soaps & detergents, textiles, water treatment, and steel/metallurgy-sintering. 
Asia-Pacific is the largest chlor-alkali market, globally. The region accounts for a major share of the chlor-alkali market and is the largest producer of chlor-alkali, globally. China is the largest and fastest-growing chlor-alkali market in the region. With the continuous increase in capacity of chlor-alkali, the country has an upper hand, as the manufacturing costs in the country for chlor-alkali are low. India is another high growth market for chlor-alkali in the region; the country is expected to be a driving factor for the industry in the region.
Stringent environmental regulations for mercury emissions have forced the producers to shift to diaphragm and membrane cell technologies. There is an oversupply of caustic soda in the market due to the electrochemical unit ratio.
Solvay S.A. has a global footprint with a wide product portfolio and diverse revenue stream. The demand from the Asia-Pacific market has provided an opportunity for the company to cater to the needs of the region.
