Global Sodium Bicarbonate Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Sodium Bicarbonate market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2222 million in 2025 to US$ 2815 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2026 to 2032.
Sodium Bicarbonate is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is a salt composed of sodium ions and bicarbonate ions. Sodium bicarbonate is used in a wide range of applications including food, feed, pharmaceuticals, air pollution control, personal care products, etc. In 2024, global Sodium Bicarbonate production reached approximately 12479 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 182 per MT.
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), commonly known as baking soda, is an inorganic compound with a wide range of applications owing to its mild alkalinity, buffering capacity, and non-toxic nature. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is used in food and beverages, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, flue gas treatment, water treatment, and personal care products. Its versatility and safe handling characteristics have made it one of the most widely consumed basic chemicals worldwide. The global production capacity is about 15,663,000 tons, with a gross profit margin of 5%–13%. The common single-line production capacity is around 20,000 tons.
The industry chain begins upstream with raw materials such as soda ash (sodium carbonate), carbon dioxide, and water. Soda ash, often produced from natural trona ore or synthetic processes like the Solvay method, reacts with carbon dioxide to yield sodium bicarbonate. In the midstream, the product undergoes crystallization, drying, and milling to achieve various grades (food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, feed-grade, and industrial-grade). Downstream, sodium bicarbonate is distributed to multiple industries: in food and beverages as a leavening agent, in flue gas desulfurization for reducing SO₂ emissions, in livestock feed to improve digestion, in pharmaceuticals as an antacid, and in personal care products such as toothpaste and detergents.
Market drivers include the growing demand for flue gas treatment in coal-fired power plants and industrial boilers, where sodium bicarbonate is increasingly used as an environmentally friendly absorbent. Rising consumption in the food and beverage industry, supported by the global bakery sector, also contributes to stable growth. Expansion in animal feed applications, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment further supports demand. Moreover, the shift toward eco-friendly cleaning and personal care products enhances sodium bicarbonate’s appeal due to its safe and natural profile.
Challenges for the market include price volatility linked to soda ash supply, as soda ash is the primary feedstock and its cost structure heavily influences profitability. The market is also exposed to competition from alternative sorbents in flue gas treatment, such as hydrated lime, which can be more cost-effective in certain regions. Environmental regulations on soda ash production and energy consumption pose additional challenges for upstream producers. Furthermore, given its relatively low profit margins and commodity-like nature, competition among suppliers is intense, requiring efficiency, scale, and diversification to sustain profitability. Despite these hurdles, steady demand across multiple end-use sectors ensures that sodium bicarbonate remains a resilient and essential bulk chemical.
