Caustic Soda Market is projected to be worth USD 69.27 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.12% during the forecast period (2021 - 2030)., The market was valued at USD 44.51 billion in 2021.Caustic Soda is used mainly for building blocks in industrial processes. As it contains the NaOH formula, it is highly corrosive in both liquid and solid forms. In contact with skin, it can cause skin rashes as well.
As caustic soda is also commonly used for different industries such as soaps & detergents, paper & pulp, textile finishing, water treatment, metal processing, refining bauxite, and others. In the past few years, the demand for caustic soda has increased a lot. The increased demand for paper has also increased the growth of the market for caustic soda. Rising demand for tissues, graphic paper, and others have propelled the growth of this market very much.
COVID 19 pandemic has affected almost all the industries around the world. The caustic soda market is one of them, which suffered a significant revenue loss during the pandemic. It has affected the supply chain and production in the caustic soda market. In most of the regions, the productions were paused during the pandemic. Recently, most of them started to open and work very hard to meet the market requirements.
Because of the COVID 19 spread, people started to use disposable paper products that increased the demand for the caustic soda market. Also, the activities such as pulp and paper, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing have increased which is connected with caustic soda market growth.
The alumina industry is closely related to caustic soda just like water treatment, pulp and paper, and chemical manufacturing. The alumina production has increased a lot in the past few years that affected the caustic soda market. During the forecast period, the industry is prepared to come up with new ideas and lightweight products that are most likely to drive the growth.
Another very important factor that is accelerating the growth of this market is the rapid expansion of the chemical industry. It is used for the manufacturing process of solvents, pharmaceuticals, inks, dyes, fabrics, herbicides, synthetic fibers, adhesives, coatings, and bleach as a reactant. So, the growth of the caustic soda market is expected to be very high in the forecast period.
The COVID 19 has affected the production and supply of chain but it has also offered plenty of opportunities for the caustic soda market to grow in the upcoming years. The use of products that are related to caustic soda has increased very much such as paper bags, paper cups, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and many more. It helped the business to grow more in the forecast period and provided opportunities to recover the loss of revenue during the pandemic. The cell technology of membrane is also expected to create growth opportunities for the market players.
There are some of the restraining factors that can hold back the growth rate of the caustic soda market. If sodium hydroxide gets mixed with tin, aluminum, zinc, copper, and others, then it can create some explosive gas mixtures and toxic substances. It can become a great treat for both animals and humans if exposed. The corrosive nature of it is expected to affect the market growth as it is not good for humans and the environment. Many other factors can hold down the growth of the market but with continued research and innovations, the market is expected to overcome it.
In the forecast period, the caustic soda market has to face many challenges that will slow down growth. Toxic gas production is created when it is exposed to tin, zinc, aluminum, and others. Also, the energy-intensive operations are also expected to impact the growth rate of the caustic soda market. In some of the regions like Europe and North America, the decline of consumption of products like PVD has also created challenges for the market growth of caustic soda.
The caustic soda market growth is expected to reach nearly USD 55.,557.7 in the forecast period with a CAGR of around 3.1%. The recorded market size of the caustic soda market was approx USD 44,959.2 in 2019. In the past few years, the market growth has increased a lot due to high demand. After COVID 19, the growth is expected to propel even more with more opportunities.
As caustic soda is used in many different industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemical, metals, paper, and others, the value of this market is very high. The demand of this market has increased recently with the rising need for paper, organic chemicals, tactile, water treatment, and other industries.
