Global Caustic Soda Market by Application (Alumina, Organic Chemical, Inorganic Chemical, Food, Pulp & Paper, Soap & Detergent, Textile, Water Treatment, Steel/Metallurgy, Others), by Geography Analysis & Forecast to 2019

Caustic soda also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed by electrolysis of brine (salt water). It is a strong base with a wide range of applications in different end-user industries, such as alumina, organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, soap & detergents, water treatment, food, and pulp & paper. Caustic soda is manufactured by the decomposition of concentrated brine (sodium chloride) solution; chlorine is co-produced with caustic soda along with hydrogen. With every 1.1 ton of caustic soda produced, 1 ton of chlorine and 28 kgs of hydrogen gas are produced.

The global caustic soda market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2014 to 2019. The rising demand from the end-user industries and high production capacity and growth in the developing and emerging market regions are the factors that drive the growth of caustic soda in global market. On the other hand, high energy consumption in the electrolysis process is projected to affect the growth of the global caustic soda market in the coming years.

An in-depth market share analysis, in terms of revenue, of the top companies is also included in the report. These numbers are arrived at based on key facts, annual financial information from SEC filings, annual reports, and interviews with industry experts, key opinion leaders, such as CEOs, directors, and marketing executives.

Caustic soda is an inorganic compound mainly produced as a co product by the electrolysis of brine (salt or NaCl). It is a white solid, and has a highly caustic metallic base. It is an alkali salt which is available in pellets, flakes, granules and forms an approximately 50.0% (by weight) saturated solution with water.

Caustic soda is a popular strong base and is for the manufacturing of sodium salts and detergents, pH regulation, and organic synthesis.

The global caustic soda market was valued at $27,720.5 million in 2014, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2014 to 2019. The continuous growth in the capacity addition of the chlor- alkali manufacturing industries, high demand from the end-user industries, and growth in the emerging economic regions, such as Asia-Pacific and RoW are some of the key drivers that are expected to aid the growth of the global caustic soda market.

The global caustic soda market is segmented on the basis of applications like food, pulp & paper, organic chemical, inorganic chemical, soaps & detergents, textiles, water treatment, alumina, steel/metallurgy, and others.

The key companies operational in the global caustic soda market are The Dow Chemicals Company (U.S.), OXY (U.S.), INEOS ChlorVinyls (Switzerland), and Solvay S.A. (Belgium), among others.
