Top Growth Drivers in the Hydrochloric Acid Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The growth of the hydrochloric acid market is anticipated to surge due to the heightened demand from the steel industry. Hydrochloric acid is heavily utilized in steel industry's pickling processes that involve purifying the steel surface by eliminating rust, scale, and other undesirable elements before proceeding to further processes such as galvanizing or coating. With the upsurge in global steel production, particularly in developing economies, the need for hydrochloric acid is set to augment. For instance, S&P Global, a US-based capital market firm, stated in January 2024 that China's crude steel output for 2023 was approximately 1,019.1 million tons, a growth of around 0.6% when compared to 2022. Similarly, India's crude steel output in 2023 saw a rise of 11.8% vis-à-vis 2022 and touched 140.2 million tons. Hence, the booming demand from the steel industry is facilitating the growth of the hydrochloric acid market.

What Trends Will Shape the Hydrochloric Acid Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Leading entities in the hydrochloric acid marketplace are boosting their production capacities to secure a dominant position within the sector. For example, in August 2023, Wacker Chemie AG, a renowned chemical corporation from Germany, enlarged its hyperpure hydrogen chloride (HCl) production wing at its hub in Burghausen, Germany. This enlargement was intended to fulfil the escalating demand for HCl within the semiconductor industry, which employs ultrapure hydrogen chloride as a means of etching and purification for hyperpure silicon wafers and plant equipment. The expenditure for this augmentation was in the less pronounced double-digit-million euro bracket and it notably escalated Wacker's production ability to accommodate the semiconductor industry's requirements.
