Global Sodium Hydrosulfite Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global sodium hydrosulfite market

Technavio’s sodium hydrosulfite market forecast identifies that the growing demand for sodium hydrosulfite from the paper and pulp industry will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the sodium hydrosulfite market growth. Manufacturers use sodium hydrosulfite to reduce the yellow color caused by the presence of cellulose in the pulp. This in turn, helps them to brighten the paper. Sodium hydrosulfite can easily decolorize the acidic dyes and direct dyes used in the pulp and paper industry by breaking the azo groups. This is driving its adoption as a reducing agent and a replacement of hydrogen peroxide. In addition, it is also used in refiner bleaching, which results in an increased brightness, from 50% to 95%. Our sodium hydrosulfite market research report predicts that this global market will post a revenue of close to USD 1.4 billion by 2021.

One of the key trends that will drive the growth prospects for the global sodium hydrosulfite market during the estimated period is the increasing use of sodium hydrosulfite in cosmetics. A large number of manufacturers prefer the addition of sodium hydrosulfite to produce beauty products, deodorants, hair dyes, hair colors, and moisturizers. It is also used in hair waving and straightening agents because it has the ability to split disulfide bonds in hair. Furthermore, it is also used as an oxygen based bleach.
