Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market Size By Form (Liquid, Powder), By Process (Zinc Process, Sodium Formate Process), By Application (Textile Industry, Paper Industry), By Geographic Scope And Forecast

Sodium Hydrosulfite Market Size And Forecast

Sodium Hydrosulfite Market size was valued at USD 1.2 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.4 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

The monomers and oligomers in sodium hydrosulfite are polymerized using either electron beam (EB) or ultraviolet (UV) light. Radiation curing is a term used to describe the UV/EB process. Wood, paper, ceramics, metal, glass, and plastics are all examples of substrates where sodium hydrosulfite is used. Because of the low impact of the economic downturn and rising disposable income, consumers are able to spend more on clothing. Increasing demand from the textile industry and a rapid increase in demand for paper products in Asia-Pacific are two factors driving global sodium hydrosulfite demand.

Increasing consumer confidence, disposable income, and shoppers’ eagerness to keep up with the latest fashion trends are just a few of the major factors driving the textile market’s growth. Thus, the increase in the confidence level of consumers allows them to spend money easily on apparel, which is indirectly expected to drive the growth of the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market. During the forecast period, the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market is expected to benefit from its use in beautifying agents, particularly hair care products and kaolin bleaching.

Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market Definition

The chemical sodium dithionite is a reductive bleaching agent. Sodium hydrosulfite is another name for it. Because some dyes that aren’t reactive with oxidizing chemicals can react with some reducing agents, dithionite is sometimes used in combination with an oxidizing agent. When exposed to air, sodium dithionite decomposes quickly. Indigo dyeing uses sodium hydrosulfite (or “Hydro”), a universal reducing agent. It’s also used to remove the color from dyed fabrics and to whiten antique textiles as a non-aggressive alternative to bleach.

The formula for sodium hydrosulfite is NaHS, which is a colorless or yellow-colored crystal. Sodium dithionite is another name for sodium hydrosulfite. It remains stable under normal conditions but degrades when exposed to acidic elements/compounds or hot water. The zinc dust process, amalgam procedure, and format procedure are all used to make sodium hydrosulfite. To make sodium hydrosulfite, you’ll need to follow these three steps. Furthermore, in 2014, zinc dust and amalgam procedures accounted for roughly 80% of global production. In an acidic medium and a warm climate, sodium hydrosulfite has diminishing properties. Textile processing, mineral ore flotation, the paper and pulp industry, and food additives all use sodium hydrosulfite for bleaching. It is, however, widely used in the bleaching of textiles and wood pulp.

Sodium hydrosulfite (chemical formulaNaHS) is a free-flowing, dry, colorless substance that comes in a variety of grades with varying sodium hydrosulfite concentrations. It is also known as sodium dithionite. The most common way to make sodium hydrosulfite chemically is to use hydrogen sulfide and sodium hydroxide as starting materials in a neutralization reaction. The reaction of sodium bisulfite with zinc, or the reaction of sulfur dioxide on sodium amalgam, is used in the industrial production of sodium hydrosulfite.

Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market Overview

The Sodium Hydrosulfite Market is growing due to high demand in the textile industry and a cost advantage over hydrogen peroxide for mechanical pulps and recycled fibers. The declining pulp and paper market, on the other hand, is stifling demand for sodium hydrosulfite, limiting the market growth. The market for sodium hydrosulfite is expected to be lucrative due to its applications in food and cosmetics. Rising demand for paper products in the Asia Pacific. The global textiles industry is booming.

Applications can be used to segment the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market. Textile, mineral ore flotation, wood pulp bleaching, and other applications make up the Sodium Hydrosulfite Market. The ‘others’ section of sodium hydrosulfite applications includes industries, such as kaolin bleaching, and cosmetics, among others. Textile and wood pulp bleaching are two of sodium hydrosulfite’s most common uses. In 2014, the textile industry held the largest share of the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market’s application segment. The Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market is growing due to an increase in demand for textile products such as clothing. Wood pulp bleaching is the second-largest application segment in the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market, after the textile segment. The declining production capacity of the paper and paperboard industry in North America and Europe is a major stumbling block to the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market growth.

The packaging industry, which has been growing at a healthy rate for the past decade as a result of the growing popularity of the e-commerce sector, accounts for the majority of paper product demand. The growing use of computers has resulted in an increase in demand for printing and writing paper, which is expected to offset the gradual decline in demand for newsprint. The paper products industry in the Asia Pacific will be boosted by the easy availability of raw materials, low labor costs, and the presence of many paper & pulp manufacturers, which will boost the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market during the forecast period.

 Sodium Hydrosulfite Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Rest of the World

On the basis of Geography, the Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world. The largest market for sodium hydrosulfite is Asia-Pacific, followed by North America and Europe. The Sodium Hydrosulfite Market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, owing to the fact that major textile-producing countries such as China, India, Japan, and Bangladesh, among others, account for a significant portion of the total. Because of the slow growth of the paper industry in these regions, North America and Europe are expected to lose market share in the near future. Rapid global digitalization is a major factor in the decline of the paper industry in North America and Europe.
