Sodium sulphate, a compound of sodium, is a crucial raw material used in the production of glass, wood pulp, and textiles etc. Sodium sulfate can be recovered from naturally occurring brines or lakes that contain significant amounts of the product. It is also obtained as a by-product of the production of man-made fibers, hydrochloric acid, chromium chemicals and formic acid. Furthermore, by-product sodium sulfate can have purity similar to that of the natural product. Moreover, about half of the world's production is from the natural mineral form of the decahydrate and half from by-products of chemical processes. Sodium sulphate is handled in trade in three forms such as salt cake, Glauber's salt, and niter cake. Whereas, sodium sulphate occurs in nature as Glauber's salt, which is known mirabilite. Additionally, in areas where rainfall is scanty sodium sulphate is termed white alkali in contrast to sodium carbonate, which is termed black alkali on account of its destructive action on vegetation. Furthermore, in the form of salt cake, sodium sulphate is used in making wood pulp by the sulphate process, plate glass, window glass, and bottles, water glass and sodium sulphate.
Some of the key factors driving the sodium sulphate market are rising application of product in soaps and detergents. Apart from that, an ever-growing automotive and construction industry is also serving to catalyze growth in the market by driving demand for glass, which requires sodium sulfate as a fluxing agent in glass refining. The emergence of substitute compounds such as zeolites, emulsified sulphur, sodium silicates, caustic soda and sodium carbonate in various end-use industries are hindering the demand in the sodium sulphate market. The rising demand for these products across the globe is expected to be a key factor driving the demand for sodium sulphate during the forecast period.
The sodium sulphate market is segmented by source, application and geography.
Based on source, the sodium sulphate market is bifurcated are synthetic and natural. The natural segmented dominated the market in 2018. In the upcoming years, the natural segment is estimated to continue its dominance in the sodium sulphate market globally.
On the basis of application, the sodium sulphate market is segmented into soaps & detergents, glass, paper industry, textile and others (pharmaceutical products, enzyme production). Among these, the soaps & detergents segment dominated the global market in 2018. This is mainly because sodium sulphate is used as a diluting agent and as fillers in detergents and soaps. Whereas, the glass segmented is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period.
Based on geography, the sodium sulphate market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa. The Asia-Pacific region dominated the market in 2018. The sodium sulphate market is driven mainly by china, because of the low cost of sodium sulphur and cheaper production cost. Whereas, owing to surge in application of paper industries, Latin America is estimated to be the fastest growing region in the sodium sulphate market globally during the forecast period.
Some key players of this market includes Alkim Alkali Kimya A.S., Elementis plc, Lenzing Group, Minera De Santa Marta, S.A, Grupo Industrial Crimidesa S.L. and American elements. Among others are Birla Cellulose, Cordenka GmbH & Co. KG, Cooper Natural Resources, S.A. Sulquisa, Si Chuan Hongya QingYiJiang Sodium Sulphate Co., Ltd, Searles Valley Minerals, Saskatchewan Mining and Minerals Inc. and XinLi Chemical. In order to gain a major industry share, the industry players are increasing their production capacity. Additionally, to fulfil growing demand manufacturers have invested massive capital in processing equipment’s, research & development and mergers & acquisitions.
