Production and consumption of sodium chlorate in China during 2010-2013

Summary: China’s sodium chlorate output accounts for a certain share of the global sodium

chlorate demand, to obtain certain knowledge of the supply and consumption situation of

sodium chlorate in China may help suppliers, purchasers and investors to enter China’s

Global annual demand of sodium chlorate is estimated to over 3,500,000 tonnes, while the

output of sodium chlorate in China in 2013 was about 430,000 tonnes, accounting for 12.29%

of the global demand. Understanding the supply and consumption situation of sodium

chlorate in China is very important for suppliers, purchasers and investors, especially those

who intend to enter China’s sodium chlorate market.

In Jan. 2014, CCM compiled an in-depth report named Sodium Chlorate Market in China

Edition (1), which reveals the production and consumption of sodium chlorate in China during

2010-2013 through the following key aspects: 

- China’s production of sodium chlorate in 2013

- China’s consumption of sodium chlorate in 2013

- Brief introduction to production technology

- End use segmentation of sodium chlorate

- Historical production and consumption data of sodium chlorate during 2010-2013

- Forecast of sodium chlorate production and consumption by end use segment during 2014-

2018

Sodium chlorate has a wide range of end use segments. It is primarily used to produce

potassium perchlorate, which accounts for over 80% of perchlorate’s total output. The sodium

chlorate is also used to produce chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite. The former is a strong

oxidizing agent in paper making, sewage treatment, disinfection of drinking water, and

treatment of water cycle, and the latter is mainly consumed in such industries as fireworks

and crackers, pulp & paper, water treatment and metal smelting, etc.

Mainly applied in the production of fireworks and crackers, potassium perchlorate ranks top

among sodium chlorate consumption segments in China. Pulp & paper is the second largest

end use segment of sodium chlorate. Water treatment industry is also a promising market for

sodium chlorate. In the report, CCM will discover more details about the sodium chlorate

consumption in the relevant end use segments.

The report is the 1st edition of CCM’s series surveys covering China’s sodium chlorate

industry. For more information, please visit:
