UAE Soda Ash Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the UAE soda ash market reached a value of approximately USD 54.17 million in 2022. Aided by the growing demand for glass and detergents and the expanding applications of soda ash in various industries, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2023 and 2028, to reach a value of USD 69.34 million by 2028.

Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is an inorganic compound used in a wide range of applications including glass manufacturing, soaps and detergents, pulp and paper, and chemicals. It is a critical component in glass manufacturing where it reduces the melting temperature of sand, making it an energy-efficient option, thus boosting the UAE soda ash market demand. In the detergent industry, it softens water to enhance the cleaning efficiency of soaps and detergents. Apart from these mainstream uses, soda ash also finds application in the food industry as a pH regulator and in the pharmaceutical industry as an acidity regulator and antacid.

The UAE soda ash market growth is primarily driven by the robust growth of the glass and detergent industries. The construction boom in the UAE, particularly in the lead up to major events like Expo 2020, has significantly driven up the demand for glass, thereby supporting the soda ash market. Likewise, the rising population and increasing urbanisation in the UAE are driving the growth of the detergent industry, consequently creating a strong demand for soda ash.

Moreover, the expanding applications of soda ash in various other industries have also contributed to the UAE soda ash market development. The chemical industry uses soda ash in the production of a variety of chemicals including sodium silicate, sodium bicarbonate, and percarbonate. In the water treatment industry, it adjusts the pH of water and removes hardness. Furthermore, soda ash is used in the production of certain foods like sherbet powder and in certain pharmaceutical applications, further broadening its market potential.

In addition, advancements in production technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of soda ash production and the continuous expansion of end-use industries suggest a positive outlook for the UAE soda ash market.
