Liquid Caustic Soda Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (10%-30%, 30%-54%, Others), By Application (Pulp & Paper, Textiles, Soap & Detergent, Bleach Manufacturing, Petroleum Products, Aluminum Processing, Chemical Processing, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Caustic soda chemically known as sodium hydroxide, is an inorganic compound with chemical formula NaOH. It is highly caustic base that can potentially decompose proteins at normal temperature and can cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water and voluntarily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from air. This chemical has wide number of applications like chemical pulping, tissue digestion, esterification, transesterification, dissolution of amphoteric metals and non-metals, cleaning, food preparation, water treatment and others.

Increasing use of aluminum in automobile and aviation industries to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle is supporting the market growth. Additionally, the increasing paper and pulp industry is fostering the demand for liquid caustic soda. Increasing demand from chemical and other end-use industries shall drive the market.

However, the alkali is corrosive in nature. The carbon emissions that have a negative environmental impact shall hinder the market growth.
