Sodium Sulfide Market Research Report Information by Product (Low Ferric, Anhydrous, Crystal), Grade (Purified, Technical), Application (Pulp & paper, Chemical processing, Water treatment, Textile, Tanning, Ore processing, Others), Region — Forecast till 2032

Global Sodium Sulfide Market Overview

The Sodium Sulfide Market Size was valued at USD 585.164 Million in 2023. The sodium sulfide industry is projected to grow from USD 605.76 Million in 2024 to USD 794.27 Million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.40% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). The sodium sulfide market consists of sodium salts that are moderately soluble in acid and water. These sulfides are sulfuric acid esters, which are generated when hydrogen atoms are replaced by metal atoms (sodium). During the forecast period, the worldwide sodium sulfide market is expected to rise at a high CAGR. The rising demand for water treatment chemicals in power and industrial applications is one of the primary reasons driving the sodium sulfide market. Moreover, several environmental rules and laws governing the disposal of generated water and wastewater are fueling the market's growth. In the Asia Pacific region, rising population and rapid urbanization have resulted in increased wastewater creation and a greater need for sodium sulfide for water treatment. Another factor driving the sodium sulfide market is the increasing usage of sodium sulfide in the pulp and paper industry for heating pulp during the Kraft process. Furthermore, the tanning sector is predicted to benefit from the usage of sodium sulfide for removing hair from hides during leather production. The increasing use of sodium sulfide as a water treatment chemical in sectors like chemical, electricity, pulp & paper, municipal, oil & gas, food & beverages, agricultural, and mining is projected to enhance the market in the area.
