Sodium Aluminate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Solid Sodium Aluminate, Liquid Sodium Aluminate), (Paper Industry, Water Treatment, Cement Additives, Titanium Dioxide Industry, Others)and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Sodium aluminate is a white crystalline powder having NaAlO₂ formula. It is available in solid and liquid form. It is produced from the dissolution of aluminium hydroxide (gibbsite) in sodium hydroxide. The sodium aluminate offers several benefits such as improved strength, durability, and reduction in foam and corrosion. It is used as an intermediate in the production of adsorbents, catalysts, molecular sieves, and zeolites for detergents. It is majorly used in water treatment, as an adjunct to water softening systems. Additionally, it helps to improve flocculation and remove dissolved silica. Sodium aluminate is also used in applications such as production of paper, cement additives, and titanium dioxide. 

The rising demand for sodium aluminate in the cement additives and water treatment will fuel the market growth. In cement additives, the sodium aluminate increases the early strength and accelerates hardening. It also improves performance and suitability. Whereas in water treatment systems, it is utilized as an adjunct to water softening systems and as a coagulant to remove dissolved silica, metals, suspended solids, and phosphate from water. The rapidly rising construction industry coupled with rising demand for pure water has increased the demand for cement additives and water treatment systems. These positive factors will lead to the demand for sodium aluminate.

However, sodium aluminate is hazardous to human health as it can cause irritation to skin, nose, throat and result in coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. This is expected to reduce the use of sodium aluminate, and anticipated to restrain the market growth.
