The Solid Aluminum Chlorohydrate market was valued at USD 280 million in 2023 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.8% through 2030. Rising demand in water treatment and the shift toward aluminum-free products in the personal care industry are driving growth.
Solid aluminum chlorohydrate maintains an advantage in water treatment coagulants due to its higher efficiency compared to traditional alum. The development of polymer-modified grades further enhances removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals, boosting adoption in wastewater treatment.
North America holds 35% market share, supported by stringent EPA regulations and advanced water infrastructure. In personal care, there is a trend toward aluminum-zirconium complexes, creating both challenges and reformulation opportunities for manufacturers.
Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, led by investments in large-scale water treatment plants in China and India.
Europe continues steady growth, while Latin America and the Middle East show slower adoption due to uneven regulations and municipal budget constraints.
Main growth factors include:
Increasing demand for industrial wastewater treatment
Stricter drinking water standards
Consistent demand in personal care products
Water treatment applications account for 65% of total consumption, while cosmetics and personal care hold 25%. Future opportunities lie in:
Low-aluminum deodorant development
Mixed formulations with PAC (polyaluminum chloride)
Use in pharmaceuticals as excipients and hemostatic agents
Recent expansions by Kemira in Brazil and USALCO in Texas highlight manufacturers’ long-term confidence.
Health concerns linking aluminum compounds to neurological disorders
Competition from bio-based coagulants such as chitosan
Raw material price fluctuations for aluminum and hydrochloric acid
Membrane filtration technologies reducing reliance on chemicals
In the EU, REACH regulations continue to push for safety reassessment, requiring strict compliance from producers.
