Sodium Sulfate Market Size & Trends:
The global sodium sulfate market was estimated at USD 2.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2030. The growing demand from the detergent industry significantly drives the market. The product is widely used as a filler in powdered detergents, enhancing their performance and improving texture. As urbanization grows and disposable incomes rise, consumers are buying more cleaning products, driving a surge in detergent consumption. This trend is especially noticeable in emerging markets, where the demand for efficient and affordable cleaning solutions continues to increase.
China's sodium sulfate market is significantly driven by the rapid growth of the detergent industry. As one of the largest consumers of household and industrial cleaning products, the demand for sodium sulfate as a filler in powdered detergents has surged. The increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes among the Chinese population have led to higher consumption of laundry detergents, thereby boosting the need for sodium sulfate. This trend is further supported by the growing awareness of hygiene and cleanliness, especially in urban areas, which has resulted in a consistent demand for effective cleaning agents.
Another critical factor contributing to the demand for sodium sulfate in China is its use in the pulp and paper industry. As the country continues to expand its paper production capabilities to meet both domestic and international demand, sodium sulfate plays a vital role in the kraft pulping process. This process is essential for producing high-quality paper products, and sodium sulfate is used to recover chemicals, making the production process more sustainable. The growth of the packaging and printing sectors, driven by e-commerce and consumer goods, has further amplified the need for sodium sulfate in this industry.
As a food additive, it plays a crucial role in the food and beverage industry, particularly in improving the texture and extending the shelf life of products such as dairy, baked goods, and meat. Sodium sulfate's long history of safe use has contributed to its widespread acceptance in both sweet and savory food products. Additionally, the increasing global meat consumption, especially in high-income countries such as Australia, as well as significant consumption in Europe and North America, has fueled the demand for sodium sulfate. Over the past 50 years, meat production has more than tripled, with current global production surpassing 350 million tonnes annually.
Furthermore, the consumption of milk and milk products is on the rise, particularly in developing countries, where over 6 billion people consume these products. These trends are all contributing to the growing demand for sodium sulfate in the food industry. Another key factor propelling the market is its essential role in the pulp and paper industry. Sodium sulfate is utilized in the kraft process, a method for producing high-quality pulp from wood chips.
