by The global Calcium Chloride Powder Anhydrous Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 159.25 Bn or in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Calcium chloride powder anhydrous is a colorless solid hygroscopic compound that dissolves completely in water. It finds major applications as a de-icing agent on roads and walkways. Other applications include dust control, concrete accelerator, and water treatment. It provides a fast-acting solution for de-icing roads and walkways during snowy and icy conditions. Its hygroscopic property helps to rapidly draw moisture from the atmosphere and prevent refreezing, thereby offering an efficient and economical de-icing solution.
Market Key Trends:
Increasing winter activities and severity of cold waves in many parts of the world is driving the demand for efficient de-icing agents. Calcium chloride powder anhydrous market is widely used for de-icing applications owing to its fast-acting and cost-effective solution. It is capable of lowering the freezing point of water and prevents formation of ice on surfaces. Strict rules and regulations regarding the use of safer de-icing materials have also boosted the demand for calcium chloride powder anhydrous from infrastructure and transportation industries over the past few years. Development of new applications in dust control, concrete production, and water treatment is expected to open new growth avenues for the market during the forecast period.
