Global Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate Market: Demand Analysis and Growth Forecast
In a recent study conducted by the International Hyperhidrosis Society, Scholes and colleagues treated 65 patients with 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3) in absolute alcohol and found that 64 of the patients reported excellent control of axillary sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. Topical solutions containing aluminum chloride are known to be the first line of therapy for hyperhidrosis and are among the most common antiperspirants in use at present.
Apart from the prosperity of the pharmaceutical industry, IndustryARC’s latest market research report projects that the aluminum chloride hexahydrate market will gain additional traction from other end use industries including metal processing, chemicals, water treatment, and personal care; and there, the demand will continue to surge at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023.
