Japan Hydrochloric Acid Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japan hydrochloric acid market continues to grow at a modest rate benefiting from a very well developed chemicals industry, a stable steel production level, wide-ranging use in water treatment and food manufacture, and the versatility of hydrochloric acid as an industrial chemical. Synthetic-grade hydrochloric acid dominates food-grade, pharmaceutical and high specification uses because of its relatively high purity and quality, whilst by-product (captive) hydrochloric acid is used extensively in steel pickling, chemical synthesis and in other applications where ultra-high purity is not an overriding factor. Steel pickling is the largest single major use for some years, due to the large amount of steel produced in Japan, as well as use in cleaning before galvanizing, coating, etc.
Other heavy-use applications are oil well acidizing by domestic and other regional energy producers, along with steady demand for ore processing, food processing (pH adjustment and starch hydrolysis), swimming pool sanitation, calcium chloride production, and biodiesel. In conjunction with the use of HCl as a chemical feedstock or pH control agent, there is a tightening of environmental regulation, safety and efficiency improvements and acid stream recycling, all leading to reliable mid-single-digit growth in the mature and high-quality, highly integrated market for hydrochloric acid in Japan, driven by industrial, regulatory and cost factors as well as by the applications.
