The global sodium chlorate market was valued at USD 2853.05 Million in 2025. Rising demand for renewable electricity-based chlorate production is enhancing sustainability across industrial bleaching processes. As a result, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 3724.04 Million by 2035.
The growing global push for elemental chlorine-free (ECF) pulp production, primarily in developed economies is one of the major trends noticed in the market. ECF processes, which rely heavily on sodium chlorate for chlorine dioxide generation, are gaining preference over traditional bleaching methods due to lower dioxin formation and improved pulp brightness. According to the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), Europe’s pulp production significantly increased in 2024, whereas paper and board consumption increased by 7.5%. Such shifts are accelerating demand in the sodium chlorate market in line with environmental mandates, particularly across Europe and North America.
Government-backed sustainability programmes are also fuelling demand. The United States EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) encourages ECF methods for pulp manufacturing, while Canada’s Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulations are tightening emissions standards, indirectly promoting chlorate-based solutions. Meanwhile, innovation in electrochemical production routes using renewable electricity sources in Nordic countries is emerging as a cleaner sodium chlorate manufacturing model, attracting industrial partnerships and policy support, reshaping the sodium chlorate market dynamics.
