The global hydrochloric acid market was projected to grow from USD 2.5 billion in 2022 to USD 3.4 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. The major driving factors for the growth of the hydrochloric acid market are the steel pickling, production of inorganic compounds, pH control and neutralization, regeneration of ion exchangers, and increase demand for water & wastewater treatment.

Hydrochloric acid is a colourless liquid, and depending upon the concentration, the boiling point ranges from 110 °C (383 K), 20.2% solution to 48 °C (321 K), 38% solution. This strong acid is highly corrosive and must be handled with appropriate safety precautions.  Hydrochloric acid is extensively used in steel, ore processing, oil well acidizing, and food industries. In the steel industry, it runs operations in a pickling unit that helps remove impurities such as carbon and rust. The demand for hydrochloric acid is increasing due to the steel industry growth in developing countries such as China and India.
