Growing Demand for Caustic Soda in End-Use Industries Growth of Caustic Soda Market

Published: Aug 2024

Global caustic soda market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is attributed to increasing demand for alumina, paper and pulp, and detergents and soaps. The market for caustic soda is expanding rapidly owing to its growing usage in the manufacturing of chemicals and petroleum products. Brine solution is electrolyzed to make caustic soda in industrial settings. Membrane and diaphragm cells are used in large-scale electrolytic industrial operations. Owing to its potent alkaline qualities, caustic soda is an inorganic substance that finds application in a wide range of end-use industries. Three processes are used in its preparation including, Loewig's process, Nelson Diaphragm Cell, and Castner-Kellner process.
