Market Analysis 

The global ferric chloride market is anticipated to grow at a 4.65% CAGR between 2020-2027, as per the recent Market Research Future (MRFR) report. Ferric chloride is an aqueous solution that is light brown to colorless and has a faint hydrochloric odor. It has an extensive range of applications, including metallurgy, electronics, chemical, and pharmaceutical for its solubility with various organic solvents along with its exothermic nature that helps to increase reaction rates. It is utilized as a catalyst in organic synthesis, to treat over-cropping of animal claws, a drying reagent in an anhydrous form in some reactions, and in energy storage systems. 

Numerous factors are adding to the growth of the global ferric chloride market. These factors, according to the latest Market Research Future report, include increasing awareness of consumers about the waterborne disease, especially typhoid and cholera, better performance characteristics, higher cost efficiency, demand for clean drinking water, and increasing pollution and water consumption levels. 

On the contrary, the acidic and corrosive nature of ferric chloride etching in specific water treatment plants coupled with strict regulations laid down by the government on companies at the time of its production as well as shipment, and the dispersion of ferric chloride into plastic container or glass are factors that may hamper the global ferric chloride market growth during the forecast period.
