The import of chlorine to Canada in 2023 was 1.9501 million kilograms. Forecast data indicates a consistent decline in imports from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 1.7716 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.0748 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year decline in percentage is as follows: 10.69% (2024-2025), 11.06% (2025-2026), 12.17% (2026-2027), and 13.56% (2027-2028). The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is -10.80%, illustrating a steady contraction in the import volume of chlorine to Canada.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global supply chain adjustments and their impact on Canada's reliance on chlorine imports.
- Growth in domestic chlorine production capabilities and potential policy changes to reduce import dependence.
- Technological advances in alternatives to chlorine that might reduce demand further.
