In 2023, the export of chlorine from Canada stood at 126 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, the forecasted data shows a consistent decline in volumes: 116.88 million kilograms in 2024, 107.19 million kilograms in 2025, 97.693 million kilograms in 2026, 88.387 million kilograms in 2027, and 79.267 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 8.3% for 2025, 8.9% for 2026, 9.5% for 2027, and 10% for 2028.
Over the last two years (2024-2025), the average yearly decline was 7.7%. Meanwhile, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is -9.2%, indicating a consistent and significant decrease in chlorine exports.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global demand for chlorine due to environmental policies, technological advancements in chlorine production, and the potential impact of alternative chemicals. Structural changes in global trade dynamics and potential export restrictions or incentives in Canada could further influence these forecasts.
