The global Sodium Sulphate market demand stood at 11.4 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.91% during the forecast period until 2032.

Sodium sulphate, also known as Glauber’s salt, is an inorganic compound. Sodium sulfate has the chemical formula Na2SO4. Majority of the sodium sulphate is found in nature in the form of sodium sulphate minerals like Thenardite and Mirabilite. This salt can also be synthesized by treating sodium chloride with sulfuric acid. This salt is hygroscopic, i.e., in water it gets readily dissolved. Sodium sulphate is a white, crystalline solid or powder that is used as source material to make many different goods, including glass, detergents, kraft paper, cardboard, and chemicals. This salt is employed as a fining agent in the glass industry to help in the removal of minute air bubbles from molten glass.

The primary driver of the global Sodium Sulphate market is its usage by the soap & detergent industries across the globe. Sodium Sulphate is employed as a filler in detergent powder so that the concentration of the active ingredients in the detergent can be adjusted. Moreover, sodium sulfate makes the detergent powder flow easily. In 2022, approximately 43% of global Sodium Sulphate was utilized by the Soaps & Detergents Industry and is anticipated to expand further in the forecast period owing to better personal hygiene and cleaning practice across the globe. Moreover, the demand for Sodium Sulphate to manufacture glass for commercial and domestic applications is anticipated to further swell the global Sodium Sulphate demand. The size of the global Sodium Sulphate market is estimated to reach a volume of 16.5 million tonnes by 2032.

Based on region, the Asia Pacific is the leading consumer of the Sodium Sulphate market. In 2022, Asia Pacific held a demand of approximately 55% of the global Sodium Sulphate market share. It is anticipated that Asia Pacific will remain the biggest consumer. South America stands as the second largest consumer and is anticipated to further expand. During the projection period, the growing need for glass for usage in infrastructure development and maintenance projects in developing nations such as India, China, Japan, and Malaysia coupled with greater awareness about hygiene and usage of soaps and detergents is driving up demand for sodium sulphate in the Asia Pacific region. Budget on cleaning supplies has increased because of stricter laws addressing hygiene in institutions.

Based on the end-user industry, the global Sodium Sulphate market is segmented into Soaps & Detergents, Textile Industry, Paper & Pulp, Glass Industry, and Others. The Soaps & Detergents Industry is dominating the Sodium Sulphate market. Sodium Sulphate tends to make detergents less chunky and free flow in nature. The Textile Industry is also a prominent consumer of Sodium Sulphate and is anticipated to soar in the upcoming years.
