- A key driver of the caustic soda flakes market is the water treatment industry. With rising awareness and regulatory actions addressing water quality and safety, the demand for effective water treatment technologies has increased. Caustic soda is essential in water purification procedures such as pH regulation, coagulation, and the removal of heavy metals and other pollutants. Caustic soda is used by municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities to ensure that water meets strict health and environmental regulations. The expansion of urbanization and industrial operations has resulted in increased water consumption and wastewater output, hence increasing the demand for water treatment chemicals. As per United States, in 2015, in the 42 countries (representative of 18% of the global population) reporting both generation and treatment of total wastewater flows, 32% received at least some treatment. The proportion of industrial wastewater flow treated was 30% and could only be calculated for 14 countries (representing 4 % of the global population). This tendency is particularly noticeable in emerging economies, where fast industrialization and urban population expansion necessitate the development of water treatment facilities.
- Caustic soda flakes are in high demand due to their wide range of industrial applications. Caustic soda, commonly known as sodium hydroxide, is essential in the production of several industries, including paper and pulp, textiles, and chemicals. Caustic soda is used in the paper and pulp industry for pulping and bleaching, both of which are required to produce high-quality paper products. The textile industry uses caustic soda in fabric processing and dyeing to ensure that the fabrics have the desired texture and colorfastness. Furthermore, the chemical industry uses caustic soda to manufacture a variety of compounds, including detergents, soaps, and synthetic textiles. The wide range of applications for caustic soda and expansion of these industries supports its demand. For instance, IMARC Group expects the textile market to reach US$ 1,445.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during 2024-2032.
