Research is constantly underway to identify new products made out of PVC. The reason being its cost-effectiveness and durability. Many companies are investing in developing products that suit customers varying requirements, be it motor pumps, irrigation, water supply, components of electrical gadgets, and more. As new applications of PVC surface, the consumption of chlorine will also steadily go up. As a result, this will stoke demand in the global chlorine market.

However, the chlorine has some disadvantages too. Some people are allergic to chlorine, and hence it might result in infections or allergies. This might restrict expansion in the global chlorine market. Despite this concern, the demand will continue to rise as the need for clean and pure water will increase in the coming years.
