Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

The factors driving the global Caustic Soda market include the growing demand for alumina. Alumina is extracted from naturally emerging minerals with the help of caustic soda. Alumina is used to make aluminum and various products such as foils, cans, kitchen utensils, airplane parts, automotive, and others. According to USGS, approximately 85% of world bauxite production is used as feed to manufacture alumina through a wet chemical caustic leach method. Most of the resulting alumina produced from this refining process is used as the feedstock to produce aluminum metal. According to The Aluminum Association, by 2026, net aluminum demand is expected to increase to 514 pounds per vehicle due to penetration increases for all vehicles utilizing aluminum enclosures, BIW, and chassis to meet long-range CO2 goals. Increasing demand for pulp and paper will also boost the market. In many paper-making processes, wood is treated with a solution including sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide. This helps liquefy most of the unwanted material in wood, leaving relatively pure cellulose, which forms paper’s basis. According to the Environment Paper Network, Global paper demand doubled since 1985, reached more than 406 million metric tonnes in 2015, and is projected to reach 485 million metric tonnes by 2030.

Restraint in the Caustic Soda Market

However, Caustic Soda is a potentially dangerous substance. The harmful effect of Caustic Soda depends on several factors, including the concentration of sodium hydroxide and length of time exposed. Contact with high concentrations of sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns to the eyes and skins, resulting in permanent damage. This factor can act as a restraint and hamper market growth.

Application – Segment Analysis

Based on the application, soap & detergent chemical is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast. period. Pure caustic soda is used to manufacture soaps and a variety of detergents used in household and commercial application. Caustic soda causes saponification and is an essential ingredient in soap-making. When flakes or beads of sodium hydroxide get added to a liquid, it forms a lye solution. This solution will lead to a chemical reaction when mixed with oil or fats. The onset of Covid 19 has further boosted the soap & detergent market. According to the United States International Trade Commission, U.S. import of soap and cleaning products by values increased by 38% from 2019 to 2020.
