Sodium Hydroxide Market by Grade (Solid, 50% Aqueous Solution), Production Process, Application (Biodiesel, Alumina, Inorganic Chemicals, Organic Chemicals, Food, Pulp & Paper, Soap & Detergent, Textiles, Water Treatment), Region - Global Forecast to 2029

The sodium hydroxide market size is projected to grow from USD 44.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 55.6 Billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.4%. The rapidly expanding construction industry, encompassing both residential and non-residential infrastructure on a global scale, is significantly propelling the demand for paints and coatings. This surge in demand is, leads to further driving the demand of titanium dioxide, as titanium dioxide is a key ingredient in paints & coating industry. The widespread use of paints and coatings in the automotive and construction sectors is a major factor influencing this trend. Consequently, the increased consumption of titanium dioxide is expected to have a favorable impact on the sodium hydroxide market, as sodium hydroxide is often used in the production process of titanium dioxide.

Organic Chemicals is projected to be the fastest-growing segment by application in Sodium Hydroxide market”

The organic chemicals segment is projected to be the fastest-growing application of sodium hydroxide during the forecast period. Major organic chemicals are manufactured using caustic soda include propylene oxide, polycarbonates, ethylene amines, and epichlorohydrin. Additionally, many organic chemical manufacturers use sodium hydroxide for gas scrubbing processes and neutralization. Propylene oxide is crucial in producing polyether polyols, which are essential for manufacturing both rigid and flexible polyurethane foams. These foams find applications in car seats, armrests, liners, floors, and various other interior, exterior, and under-the-bonnet components. Epichlorohydrin is utilized in numerous end-use industries, including building & construction, paints & coatings, and electronics & electrical systems.

“Membrane cell process is projected to be the fastest-growing segment by production process in Sodium Hydroxide market”

The membrane cell process is anticipated to experience the most rapid growth among other production methods in the Sodium Hydroxide market during the forecast period.
