Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Sodium Hydroxide market size was valued at US$ 40480 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 54870 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.

Sodium hydroxide is also known as caustic soda, caustic, and lye. Anhydrous (100%, solid) caustic soda has a chemical formula of NaOH and a molecular weight of 40.00.



It is available commercially in the form of liquid, solid, flakes, or particles. Sodium hydroxide has diverse industrial applications due to its strong alkaline nature. It is integral to the manufacture of petroleum products, pulp and paper, alumina, textiles, and soaps and detergents, along with its application in chemical processing, water treatment and petroleum processing.



For commercial purposes, caustic soda is used either in a 32%, 45% of 50% etc. aqueous solution or as a solid. Industrially, caustic soda is most commonly manufactured by the electrolysis of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The co-products formed from the electrolytic production of caustic soda are chlorine and hydrogen.

Dow Chemical, Oxychem, Westlake (Axiall), Olin Corporation, and Formosa Plastics Corporation are the leading sodium hydroxide players, the top 5 accounting for approximately 25% of the total market.

China is the largest producer of sodium hydroxide, accounting for about 33% of the total market, followed by North America with 20% market share.
