The Asia Pacific Sodium Nitrate Market would witness market growth of 5.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2021, the Asia Pacific market’s volume surged to 22,437.4 Tonnes, showcasing a growth of 5.0% (2019-2022).
Food-grade sodium nitrate is used throughout the curing process of packaged foods and to prevent botulism in long-aged meats. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibits the commercial use of food-grade sodium nitrate in products such as smoked meat, cooked meat, sausages, and bacon. Industrial-grade sodium nitrate is used in fertilizer production as an intermediate chemical compound and heat transfer component. It can also make explosives, construction chemicals, degreasing products, and adhesives. A significant market trend is the application of food-grade sodium nitrate as a colour fixative in cured and poultry meat products. The demand for food additives and preservatives has increased due to the expansion of regulatory food regulations aimed at ensuring food safety.
The adoption of sodium nitrate-based fertilizers is stimulated by the need for more efficient agricultural practices fuelled by population growth, urbanization, and the rising demand for food products. The ever-expanding population necessitates enhanced food production, making sodium nitrate a critical component in modern agriculture. Moreover, the growth of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries significantly contributes to adopting sodium nitrate. The demand for sodium nitrate as a raw material for the synthesis of different chemicals and pharmaceuticals increases in direct proportion to the continued expansion of these sectors.
As per Invest India, in India, the pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to increase to $65 billion by 2024 and $130 billion by 2030. One of the world’s largest suppliers of inexpensive vaccines is India. India is a significant exporter of pharmaceuticals, with exports to over 200+ countries. It is utilized to synthesize certain medications, particularly antibiotics in India. The growth of the Indian pharmaceutical sector increased demand for sodium nitrate as a raw material in the synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. Nitration is a key step in synthesizing various pharmaceutical compounds in India, and the demand for sodium nitrate parallels the growth in pharmaceutical research and development.
