Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Operations, plant managers, and regulatory compliance leaders from chlor-alkali manufacturers, chemical producers, and technology providers comprised supply-side sources. Procurement directors from vinyl/PVC manufacturers, alumina refineries, pulp and paper mills, water treatment facilities, textile processors, and soap and detergent manufacturers comprised demand-side sources. Market segmentation was validated, capacity expansion timelines were confirmed, and insights regarding technology adoption patterns, energy consumption trends, environmental compliance costs, and regional trade dynamics were obtained through primary research.

Global market valuation was derived through production capacity mapping and consumption volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of over 50 significant chlor-alkali manufacturers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across chlorine (water treatment, paper & pulp, inorganics, intermediates, organics, vinyl) and caustic soda (textile, alumina, soap & detergents, organics, inorganics, pulp & paper, water treatment) applications
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to chlor-alkali product portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global production capacity in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (production volume × ASP by region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
