The Global Dechlorination Chemical Market size was worth around USD 1.37 billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 2.54 Billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.77% from 2025 and 2035. The growing need for environmentally acceptable water treatment methods, improvements in chemical formulation technology, and growing applications in the environmental, industrial, and municipal sectors worldwide all create opportunities for the dechlorination chemical market.  

 

Market Overview

The global market for dechlorination chemical includes the manufacturing, distributing, and use of chemical agents that neutralize or eliminate chlorine and compounds related to chlorine from water sources. These substances, such as activated carbon, sodium thiosulfate, and sodium bisulfite, are crucial for guaranteeing the safety of water for use in industry, municipalities, and the environment. The market for dechlorination chemical is concentrated on offering efficient methods of removing chlorine from water treatment, with a focus on industrial safety, sustainability, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation for both commercial and municipal applications. The growing need for safe and efficient dechlorination solutions in the water treatment sector is the main factor driving the dechlorination chemical market. Growing awareness of chlorine harmful effects on aquatic life and ecosystems is one factor driving the dechlorination chemical market growth. Growing industrial and municipal demand for clean water continues to be the key factor behind the worldwide dechlorination chemical market. The need for dechlorination chemicals is primarily driven by industrial expansion, strict environmental restrictions, and the growing need for clean water.

Market Segmentation

The dechlorination chemical market share is classified into chemical type and end user.  

 

• The sulphur-based chemicals segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the chemical type, the dechlorination chemical market is divided into sulphur-based chemicals, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, activated carbon-based chemicals, drinking water grade, wastewater grade, and others. Among these, the sulphur-based chemicals segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The dechlorination process makes extensive use of sulfur-based compounds, especially when treating municipal water systems and industrial effluent. Chlorine's detrimental effects on aquatic life must be avoided, and clean water for industrial use must be guaranteed, thanks to the effectiveness of sulfur compounds like sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metabisulfite.   

 

• The water treatment segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the dechlorination chemical market is divided into water treatment, food and beverages, and textile. Among these, the water treatment segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The need for water purification in both industrial and municipal contexts is growing, making the water treatment sector the biggest user of dechlorination chemicals. In water treatment operations, chlorine is frequently employed for disinfection; nevertheless, to guarantee safe drinking water and save aquatic habitats, any remaining chlorine must be neutralized.
