Sodium Hydroxide Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Grade (Solid, 50% Aqueous Solution, and Others); By Production Process; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032

The global sodium hydroxide market size is expected to reach USD 74.82 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Sodium Hydroxide Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Grade (Solid, 50% Aqueous Solution, and Others); By Production Process; By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The surge in the water purification and waste management industry with the significant rise in attentiveness for the water preservation, waste management, and common fright of running out of the potable water along with the sustained demand for alumina, textiles, and paper globally, are major prominent factors propelling the demand and growth of the market. Moreover, the growing focus of major key players of the market on developing and innovating more advanced product solutions and expansion of their production facilities, will also push the market growth forward in the near future.

For instance, in February 2022, Occidental Petroleum’s chemical division announced that they are considering an overhaul of some chlor-alkali plants to boost the production capacity of higher-value caustic soda. It would further reduce the carbon intensity per ton and help the company to meet the rising demand for their products.

In the recent years, there are many and improved production methods for sodium hydroxide are being developed such as the use of membrane cell technology and enhanced electrolysis processes which resulting in higher efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Apart from this, there has been a growing emphasis on sustainable sourcing of raw materials used in the product production processes including the use of renewable energy sources and recycled materials.

With the rising awareness regarding the sustainability and high-quality products, the demand for eco-friendly products and processes is rapidly emerging and businesses can explore opportunities by investing heavily in sustainable production processes for the product including the reduction in water usage in production, that creates huge growth potential for the global market.
