Global Soda Ash Market by Application (Metallurgy, Pulp & Paper, Water Treatment, Glass, Soaps & Detergents, Chemicals) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Industry Insights
In 2015, the global soda ash market was valued at USD 15.94 billion. After experiencing negative year-on–year growth in the last few years, the global soda ash market is expected to see demand recover over the forecast period. The positive outlook for the market can be attributed largely to the high demand from the glass manufacturing sector, particularly from the container and flat glass sectors.
Due to the shift in trend in production economics, the market will undergo significant changes over the forecast period. The overall market is expected to grow due to the rising demand from end-use industries for both synthetic and natural products.
The soda ash market will see a greater use of naturally occurring raw materials, e.g. Because of their low cost benefits, trona is a popular choice. Natural soda ash demand has been fueled by stringent European and North American regulations that restrict the production of synthetic soda Ash. Over the forecast period, synthetic soda ash demand will be boosted by more flexible regulations in Asia Pacific and other parts of the globe.
The market is expected to grow further due to rising demand for soaps and detergents, particularly in emerging markets like China and India. Its ability to adjust the pH of water and make it soft has opened up new opportunities in water treatment.
Substitutes like sodium silicate, caustic soda and others will be increasing their competition for soda ash. Over the next eight year. This will likely limit market growth. The price of natural soda Ash is also affected by rising prices for trona, which is a result of its limited availability on markets outside of North America. The production of synthetic products is a very energy-intensive process. However, the rising energy costs have drastically affected product pricing.
Most market participants will be affected by environmental regulations relating to synthetic soda-ash production. The stringent legislation has led to the closure of most European synthetic soda ash plants in recent years. This trend is expected continue for the forecast period. This could lead to anti-dumping duties being imposed in emerging countries.
Application Insights
Glass industry emerged as the most important application segment in the forecast period. It is also expected that it will be the fastest-growing segment over eight years. Because soda ash can control the furnace temperature required to melt silica, it is an important component of the glass manufacturing process. This segment of the demand is estimated to produce just under half of all total glass production by 2024.
Due to rising soda ash demand in cleaning agents production, soaps and detergents will likely follow the glass market. India is the country with the highest soda ash demand, accounting for more than 35% of India's regional soap & detergent market. The second-largest revenue-generating sector for the ash soda market is expected to be chemical applications. This segment is projected to generate USD 1,705.74 millions in revenue by 2024, with a 5.0% annual growth rate over the forecast period.
Regional Insights
Due to its large deposits of trona, North America is the biggest producer of natural soda Ash. From 2016 to 2024, the North American market is expected grow at a CAGR of 2.8%. It will be influenced by the low cost of natural products.
Asia Pacific will be the largest and fastest-growing market. Market growth will be driven by China's increasing production capacity and the rapid growth of end-use industry in emerging countries like India, China, Taiwan, and others. Asia Pacific will represent more than 50% of the total market, while China accounts for 60%.
As many new plants were built by 2015, the Chinese market will likely be in excess of its soda ash production capacity. Due to the U.S. cost advantage, China will face stiff competition in its exports.
Soda Ash Market Share insights
Rising energy prices will pose challenges to key players on the market. To implement appropriate pricing policies, most manufacturers will need to monitor energy costs.
Natural soda ash's low price is likely to be a benefit for producers in Turkey, the U.S. and other countries. This could put pressure on the exports of synthetic soda ash, especially from China. Europe and other mature markets are likely to experience a decline in growth. This will mean that manufacturers in Europe will be more willing to invest in research and development to create new substitutes.
Solvay and Tata Chemicals are key market players in the global soda-ash market.
