Indonesia`s hydrochloric acid market witnessed a significant import trend from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of 289.6%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for imports during the period 2020-2024 stood at 40.67%. This surge in imports can be attributed to a notable shift in demand dynamics within the market, reflecting changing industry needs or supply chain adjustments.
In the Asia region, the Hydrochloric Acid market in Indonesia is projected to expand at a growing growth rate of 9.71% by 2027. The largest economy is China, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.

Indonesia is one of the world?s largest producers and consumers of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The country has an estimated total consumption of 2.2 million tons in 2025, making it the second largest market for HCl in Southeast Asia after Thailand. The demand for hydrochloric acid is mainly driven by its use as a raw material in fertilizer production, industrial cleaning, galvanizing, mining operations, oil & gas drilling and other chemical processes.
Due to increasing demand from various industries including fertilizer production and metal plating activities, the Indonesia market for hydrochloric acid has been growing at a steady rate over recent years. Additionally, several new projects are being undertaken to strengthen Indonesia position in terms of HCl production capacity-wise which will further support growth prospects going forward.
The key drivers driving growth in the Indonesia hydrochloric acid market include rising investments into infrastructure projects such as ports and airports; increased usage of HCl owing to government initiatives encouraging domestic agriculture sector development; and strong presence of major players operating across multiple sectors like industrial chemicals, manufacturing activities etc., that have boosted overall consumption levels within the industry segment over time period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had impacted multiple sectors adversely during 2025 resulting into slowdown or abrupt haltage on certain activities thereby affecting overall distribution channels especially pertaining to imports/ exports scenario with severity taking place across different regions globally.. Despite such circumstances Indonesia Chemicals Sector was able to mitigate losses due to their proactive measures taken prior during early stages followed by supportive policies implemented towards end stages thus helping them recover from economic downtrend witnessed earlier leading back onto positive track again looking forward onto 2025 ahead.
Despite having robust regulations governing safe practices associated with handling hazardous substances like Hydrocholoric Acid , issues related toward accidents arising out due improper storage/handling still remains a matter concern impacting safety profile alongwith environmental damages caused due leaching out excessive amounts entering water streams if not disposed off properly therefore steps should be taken accordingly towards implementation better standards across region thereby avoiding any untoward incident from taking place.
Major global manufacturers dominating the Indonesia Market includes BASF SE , AkzoNobel Nv , Henan Chemical Co Ltd , Sumitomo Corporation amongst others while few local companies also exist providing cost effective solutions c
