Global
Sodium Sulphate Market: Overview
Sodium
sulphate is inorganic compound which is formed through sodium ions
which are obtained from igneous rocks and reacts with sulphur
deposits by dissolving in hot water and then it is filtered and put
in cold water to obtain a crystalline form. Sodium Sulphate is an
important compound which can be naturally obtained from lakes, arid
region and springs. Pure hydrous form of sodium sulphate is known as
mirabilite which is a primary source for obtaining the anhydrous form
of sodium sulphate. The conventional technology used by the
manufacturer for preparation of sodium sulphate was known as LeBlanc
process, however, with technological advancement the LeBlanc process
has been replaced by Solvay process. Sodium sulphate is extensively
used as laxative and finning agent across various industries.
Global
Sodium Sulphate Market: Drivers and Restraints
The
sodium
sulphate market
is primarily driven by broad spectrum of industrial uses offered by
it along with its commercial availability in three different forms.
Sodium sulphate is predominantly used a laxative and finds extensive
use various medical procedures such as colonoscopy among others.
Sodium Sulphate is also used in the manufacturing of powdered
detergents as it is easily available, neutral in nature and also
manages the weight of the product making it economical to produce.
Hence, is preferred choice among detergents manufacturers leading to
upwelling the growth of sodium sulphate market. Sodium sulphate is
also used as finning agent in manufacturing of glass as it helps to
refrain the bubble formation by picking up the scums. Moreover, with
continuous technological advancements sodium sulphate is also been
used in solar energy storage. As sodium sulphate needs high amount of
energy to change from solid to liquid hence highlighting its property
for more storage of energy for any particular mass. Hence, rising
demand for solar energy is expected to spur the market growth of
sodium sulphate.
However,
with continuous product innovation, the demand for powder detergent
is succumbed by rising demand of liquid and gels based detergents
which doesn’t require fillers. Thereby affecting the growth of
sodium sulphate market. Moreover, it is not recommended among the
people suffering from stomach and spleen disorders and also among
elderly population. Hence, lack of warning labels by the manufacturer
on products containing sodium sulphate may hamper the growth of
sodium sulphate market.

Global
Sodium Sulphate Market: Region wise Outlook
The
global sodium sulphate market is categorised into seven regions,
namely, Western Europe, Eastern Europe Middle East and Africa (MEA),
Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan Latin America and, North
America. Europe accounts for significant share of sodium sulphate
market. Owing to raising demand for exports of sodium sulphate
containing products especially for making pulp & paper is
spurring the market growth of sodium sulphate in Europe. North
America is also expected to record a substantial growth in sodium
sulphate market. Rising technological advancements and use of sodium
sulphate in the new technological development such as solar energy is
expected to support the market growth during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific region represents a potential segment for growth during
the forecast period. Robust industrialisation development and
innovations across various sectors is propelling the demand for
sodium sulphate market is Asia pacific region.
