Sodium Sulfide Market Research Report: Forecast to 2023

Market Overview:

Sodium sulfide is crystalline solid of brick red or yellow color. Sodium Sulfide are soluble in water which produces strong alkaline solutions. Sodium sulfide absorbs the moisture in humid air and get heat up to set fire to nearby materials. While setting up the fire, it smells like rotting eggs due to emission of hydrogen sulfide.

Based on product, the global sodium sulfide market is segmented in to low ferric, anhydrous, crystal products. Low ferric segment accounted for largest market share in the global market.

Wide applications of low ferric sodium sulfide in pulp and paper, ore processing and chemical processing industry is expected to dominate the segment during the forecast period. Moreover, properties of low ferric sodium sulfide such as its high solubility in water and alcohol, and moisture absorption capability is expected to increase its demand.

By grade, the global sodium sulfide market is segmented in to purified and technical grade.

Among these, technical grade accounted for largest share in the global market. Technical grade sodium sulfide act as oxygen scavenging agent in water treatment, dechlorinating agent in leather and sulfonation agent in chemical industry which is expected to dominate segmental market during review period.

On the basis of application, the global sodium sulfide market has been categorized into pulp & paper, chemical processing, water treatment, textile, tanning, ore processing, others. The water treatment segment held the major market share in 2017, which mainly attributed to the surging water treatment chemical demand for wastewater treatment in chemical, power, pulp & paper, municipal, oil & gas, food & beverages, agriculture and mining industries in Asia Pacific region.

Based on region, the global sodium sulfide market has been segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the review period. In Asia-Pacific, China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the major contributors to the growth of this regional market. China is the largest consumer and producer, not only in this region but also across the world. This is mainly attributed to the vast growth of application industries such as pulp & paper, chemical processing, water treatment, textile, tanning, ore processing in this country. By 2020, China alone is anticipated to account for approximately half of the global sale. China is followed by India. India is set to grow at the highest CAGR during the review period
