Shandong Huashi Pharmaceutical has been deeply involved in the chlorine dioxide industry for 43 years. Since its establishment in 1983, we have been rooted in the front line of production and have been directly connected with water plants, hospitals, food factories, breeding bases, and environmental protection units all year round. Today, we will combine the actual application data of Xiuba chlorine dioxide products and chlorine dioxide generators, based on real market orders and customer feedback in 2026, to objectively and pragmatically analyze and interpret the overall demand, application scenario changes, and product development trends of chlorine dioxide for this year.

Overall demand in 2026: Stable demand for essential needs, priority given to quality

This year, the domestic chlorine dioxide market has maintained a steady growth as a whole, without big ups and downs. The core driving forces come from three aspects: the improvement of drinking water safety standards, the tightening of sewage discharge supervision, and the normalization of public health and food disinfection and sterilization. Compared to previous years, the market has clearly placed more emphasis on compliance qualifications, stable performance, and after-sales support. Low quality, low-priced, and unapproved products are rapidly exiting the market.

We serve over 30000 customers nationwide year-round and supply over 70000 tons of chlorine dioxide products annually, covering a full range of powder, tablet, solution, and generator equipment categories. We are able to stably undertake various bulk orders in municipal, medical, food, aquaculture, emergency reserves, and more.

The four core scenarios have the most prominent demands

1. Disinfection of drinking water: safe substitution becomes mainstream

After the implementation of the new drinking water standards, water treatment plants, secondary water supply, and rural centralized water supply in various regions have stricter control over disinfection by-products. Chlorine dioxide, with its absence of trihalomethanes, long-lasting antibacterial properties, and good algae removal effect in pipeline networks, has become the preferred alternative to traditional disinfectants such as liquid chlorine.

In actual supply, high-purity stable chlorine dioxide and automated chlorine dioxide generators are the most popular. The water management units we cooperate with in Fuyang, Lixin, Mengcheng, Zhangye, and Bazhong have been using Xiuba products for many years. The core is stable content, formal water related permits, simple addition, and worry free operation.

2. Medical and industrial wastewater: meeting discharge standards is a mandatory requirement

The requirements for decolorization, deodorization, sterilization, and virus inactivation in hospital wastewater, aquaculture wastewater, food processing wastewater, and industrial circulating water are not low. Especially for medical wastewater, it must be discharged in a stable and compliant manner, with strict standards for drug purity, equipment stability, and dosing accuracy.

We provide disinfectant and generator equipment to multiple medical institutions such as Shandong Provincial Hospital, Yanbian University Affiliated Hospital, and Foshan Second People's Hospital year-round. We follow up on the entire process from installation and commissioning to daily operation and maintenance, and cooperate with 24-hour after-sales response to ensure stable and qualified sewage discharge.

3. Food processing disinfection and sterilization: full chain safety needs

Food factories, meat product factories, snack food, beverage, and pickled vegetable enterprises have a sustained and stable demand for disinfection of workshop environment, equipment pipelines, tools, and personnel hands and feet. People tend to prefer food grade disinfectant products that are residue free, efficient, comply with national standards, and easy to use, with effervescent tablets and powders being the mainstream choices.

Many well-known food companies such as Anjing Food, Taoli Group, Huangshanghuang, and Jiajia Group have been using Xiuba Chlorine Dioxide for a long time. They value complete qualifications, purity standards, no impact on production, and high safety.

4. Public environment and aquaculture: normalization and scaling

Stations, hotels, schools, and office spaces have entered the stage of normalized disinfection; Aquaculture bottom improvement and algae removal, livestock breeding drinking water and enclosure disinfection and sterilization, and stable demand for disinfectants with broad spectrum, low stimulation and resistance resistance. Small packaging portable models are suitable for terminal use, while large tonnage wholesale models are more popular among large breeding groups and channel partners.

As a central emergency reserve material unit, our products have been introduced into epidemic prevention and emergency support systems in various places for many times, playing a practical role in public health emergencies and environmental disinfection and sterilization after floods.

Three real trends of market demand in 2026

Firstly, compliance qualifications are the ticket to entry. Products without water related permits, testing reports, and system certifications have little opportunity in bidding and large enterprise procurement. We have a complete set of qualifications including high-tech enterprise, specialized and innovative, ISO three system, CE EU certification, AAA credit, etc., fully meeting various formal procurement requirements.

Secondly, the integration of equipment and medication is more popular. Large water plants, hospitals, and industrial parks no longer need to purchase chemicals or equipment separately, but require a complete solution: equipment supply, installation and commissioning, proportioning guidance, and regular maintenance. We can provide customized chlorine dioxide generators OEM/ODM、 On site technical support, one-stop solution for customer issues.

Thirdly, efficiency, greenness, and ease of use are the directions. Products that are highly concentrated, instant, non activated, and suitable for low temperatures are more recognized by the market. Relying on the Shandong Small and Medium sized Enterprise Innovation and Research Center and Weifang Industrial Design Center, we continue to optimize product formulas, improve activation rates and stability, and align with the industry trend of green environmental protection, low-carbon efficiency.

Several more popular products this year

From the perspective of frontline orders, the main categories with significant demand growth in 2026 are: food grade chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets, high-purity disinfectant powders, stable chlorine dioxide solutions, automated chlorine dioxide generators, and low-temperature products suitable for the northern market.

The overall price is stable, with wholesale pricing based on kilograms and tons having more advantages. The bidding prices are transparent, and customers value long-term stable cooperation and comprehensive usage costs more.
