Abstract

Domestic caustic soda consumption expected to remain strong.

Caustic soda demand is expected to grow by 4.9 per cent (CAGR) from 2007-08 to 2012-13, with consumption likely to touch 2,890.7 thousand tonnes in 2012-13. This compares favourably with the historical 5-year CAGR of 6.0 per cent achieved during 2003-04 to 2007-08. We expect the alumina and pharmaceutical sectors to be the key drivers of caustic soda demand going forward. Alumina production is likely to double from 2,904 thousand tonnes in 2007-08 to 5,984 thousand tonnes in 2012-13, whereas demand for caustic soda from the pharmaceutical industry is forecast to increase by 9.2 per cent (CAGR) to 208.4 thousand tonnes during the same period on the back of better export potential. CRISIL Research expects the industry utilisation rates to drop between 2008-09 and 2010-11, rising thereafter to reflect the estimated rise in consumption from the end user sectors. Historically, the domestic caustic soda industry utilisation rate has ranged between 80-85 per cent. In 2012-13, domestic caustic soda capacity is forecast to increase by 575.5 thousand tonnes to 3,317.3 thousand tonnes.
