Westford, USA, Jan. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SkyQuest's analysis of the Caustic Soda market provides valuable insights. Caustic soda accounts for more than 40% of total inorganic chemicals and is used in a variety of applications including pulp and paper, chemicals, alumina, soaps and detergents, and textiles. The increase of end-use industries is closely related to the growth of the caustic soda market. Increased demand from the pulp and paper sectors, as well as the textile industry, is likely to drive market expansion throughout the forecast period.
Some key players dominating the global caustic soda market are Dow Chemical Company, Formosa Plastics Corporation, PPG Industries, INEOS Group Limited, Tosoh Corporation, Hanwha Chemical Corporation, Solvay SA, FMC Corporation, and Occidental Petroleum Corporation.
The manufacturing of caustic soda is an energy-intensive process. This results in high manufacturing costs, which hampers market expansion. Price volatility is another problem that market participants will experience over the projection period. Caustic soda is anticipated to be the sole commodity chemical with a price volatility of 5 to 15% in the spot market. Increased R&D initiatives for the development of new goods and manufacturing methods are projected to provide market participants with new opportunities. To meet the increased demand, major market players will concentrate on capacity development and collaborative ventures in growing countries such as India and China.

Increasing alumina demand in major end-use industries
Caustic soda is used to refine raw bauxite to produce white power alumina, which is then melted to produce aluminum. According to the International Aluminium Institute, global alumina production in March 2021 was 11.832 million tonnes, bringing total output in the first quarter of 2021 to 34.199 million tonnes. Production in March increased by 11.41% month on month from 10.620 million tonnes and by 7.50% year on year from 11.006 million tonnes. Aluminum is refined from raw bauxite ore in an energy-intensive process that relies heavily on caustic soda (NaOH) as a dissolving agent. Caustic soda is utilized because it is inexpensive and widely available. Aluminum's primary end-use sectors are building and construction, transportation, and containers and packaging. Aluminum is used in the building and construction business to produce frames for doors and windows, staircases, heating systems, roofs, furniture, and other items. It is also utilized in the construction of structures such as buildings, bridges, and roadways.
