Owing to the rising demand for soaps, detergents, paper, and textile, APAC is the major consumer and producer of sodium sulfate. The textile and garment industry are the primary end-users of sodium sulfate and are witnessing considerable growth in APAC. This will subsequently increase the demand for sodium sulfate in this region. According to Technavio’s market research study, this high demand for sodium sulfate in APAC will be one of the primary growth factors for the glauber’s salt market. With the presence of the leading textile and garment manufacturer China, the growth of the paper manufacturing industry in China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, the demand for sodium sulfate will continuously increase in this region. This will in turn fuel the growth of the glauber’s salt market and our market analysts estimate that the market will register the sale of close to 14,700 kilotons by 2021.
Lithium-ion batteries are popular and are mainly used in household electronic items. Since they are lightweight and rechargeable and provide high energy density to devices, they are used in portable devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, digital cameras, and electronic cigarettes. However, due to their drawbacks including overheating that leads to the explosion of these batteries and the challenges associated with transporting them through air, manufacturers are focusing on developing suitable alternatives. This will consequently, led to the emergence of sodium-based electrolytes as substitutes to lithium-ion batteries using sodium sulfate as the battery electrolyte, fueling the growth of the glauber’s salt market.
The glauber’s salt market is fragmented owing to the presence of a large number of international, regional, and local players. The demand for sodium sulfate from several end-user industries for various applications will influence the vendors in this marketspace to offer different and innovative products.
