The caustic soda market can be segmented based on the type of caustic soda and the end-use application. Caustic soda procurement is critical to understand the caustic soda market.
Caustic soda is usually produced as a caustic liquid. Caustic soda is one of the types of chemicals. Caustic soda lye is caustic 50% liquid. It is a product of Chlor-alkali. Other products of Chlor-alkali include hydrochloric acid, caustic soda lye, sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda flakes, hydrogen, and chlorine.
Based on Type: Caustic soda market can be segmented into lye and flakes. Caustic soda lye is a solution of caustic soda and water. The percentage of caustic soda in lye usually ranges between 32-50 percent based on application.
Caustic soda lye has various applications including use in organic chemicals, paper and pulp production, aluminum refineries, food additives production, use in inorganic chemicals, and textile processing.
Caustic soda flakes applications include viscose fiber, use inorganic chemicals such as phosphites, pulp production, aluminum refineries, production of paper, detergents, and soaps among others.
Caustic soda flakes are anhydrous caustic soda, with about 99-99.9 percent caustic soda.
Based on Application:
During 2017, the textile industry was the biggest consumer of caustic soda followed by alumina smelting and pulp and paper
During 2017, caustic soda consumption from organic and inorganic chemical formulations formed about 21 percent of the overall demand
Other applications of caustic soda include soaps and detergent industry, water treatment and dyes and inks among others
Drivers
Rising Demand for Alumina
Caustic soda is utilized to process raw bauxite ore into white powder alumina which is further smelted to produce aluminum.
The International Aluminum Institute has revealed that the overall alumina production hit 131,910 MT in 2019.
Key consumers of alumina include automobiles, building and construction, and packaging.
Increasing demand for alumina in these end-use industries will thus bode well for the global caustic soda market.
High Demand from the Chemical Industry
Investment in membrane technology is as high as $100 Mn for a 100,000 DMT/year plant, which can have an ROI period of 8–10 years, and hence is a major entry barrier for new players.
Indian manufacturers face fierce competition from imported caustic soda, which is cheaper compared to the domestic produce. This is due to high input and logistics costs within the country
High cost of investment
Co-product Dynamics
Stringent regulations
A constraint of the caustic soda market is the stringent regulations which can limit the expansion of the industry.
High Corrosive Nature
Caustic soda reacts with tin, zinc, and copper, and their alloys and produces hydrogen, leading to the formation of explosive gas mixtures.
Moreover, the reaction of caustic soda with ammonium and amine compounds releases toxic substances.
