Market Dynamics

The use of calcium chloride in infusion therapy to improve calcium levels can drive the demand for calcium chloride in the market. The positive effects of the therapy on pediatric patients with low cardiac output can bode well for the market. For instance, Fresenius Medical Care India Private Limited has been asked to furnish supporting documents and results of the phase III trial of its calcium chloride dihydrate solution on June 18, 2025. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), an arm of the government of India, asked the company for trial data for expedited approval of its product. This can drive the upstream demand of calcium chloride over the forecast period.

The use of calcium chloride in the treatment of wastewater effluents can be pivotal in times of water scarcity. The demand for advanced water treatment to reduce hardness and provide value in urban societies can bolster market growth significantly.

Market Opportunity: Concentrated Brines to be used in Cementious Binders

The adoption of calcium chloride as an additive in cement binders presents a novel opportunity for the calcium chloride market. Calcium chloride can strengthen cement mixtures and facilitate construction in colder climes due to its hygroscopic nature. On October 09, 2024, researchers at the University of Oulu discovered the use of industrial and mining brine wastewaters in cement binders. The mixture consists of calcium, silicon, and aluminum-rich raw material with brine and a small amount of sodium hydroxide. This can adhere to sustainable policies outlined by governments and required by the construction industry to reduce their impact on the environment.

Market Challenge: Volatile Prices of Calcium Chloride to Hurt Market Prospects

The volatile prices of calcium chloride can have a dampening effect on market prospects in the long run. The weak demand from the sectors of construction and paints can hamper market growth. Moreover, the uncertainty from the impact of U.S. tariffs and cautious investments in calcium chloride from the oil & gas sector can be a challenge for market players. Key players need to look for alternative opportunities for the use of calcium chloride to be sustainable in the coming years.

Analyst’s View

• The use of calcium chloride as a de-icing agent can drive the demand in the market.
• The drilling fluids segment is anticipated to possess a significant market share in 2025, owing to its use in drilling activities in the oil & gas sector.
• Key players are focusing on mergers and acquisitions to maintain their market share in 2025.
