Pharma Grade Sodium Hydroxide Market Dynamics
The global pharma grade sodium hydroxide market report has up-to-date insights that help in formulating a strategic roadmap about the estimated market scenario and performance from 2023 to 2031.
Major Drivers
Sodium hydroxide is typically used in cosmetics for the saponification of oils to make handmade soap. Sodium hydroxide is a pH balancer found in a variety of cosmetics and skincare products, including cleansers, soaps, makeup, and creams & lotions.
Sodium hydroxide is exceedingly dangerous in its pure form; however cosmetic and skin care products contain little sodium hydroxide and are therefore safe to use. Increasing usage and awareness of sodium hydroxide in the cosmetics products industry is expected to drive the market in the future.
Existing Restraints
The manufacture of sodium hydroxide is an energy-intensive process that results in high production costs. This is expected to stifle market expansion. Price fluctuations in the sodium hydroxide market are expected to continue to influence market trends over the projected period.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created rules to restrict exposure to sodium hydroxide in locations where it is manufactured or utilized. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health provides general safety rules for using and transporting sodium hydroxide, including packaging and storage, spillage, and disposal.
Emerging Opportunities
Manufacturers increased production while focusing on quality and efficiency, to meet industry-specific requirements. Manufacturers of sodium hydroxide are adopting strategies such as product launches to strengthen their product portfolio.
Key market players are entering into strategic acquisitions and collaborations to solidify their footprint in the market. INOVYN announced its intention to build a substantial expansion project at Norway's Rafnes Site. The project extension involves a 35-kilometric-ton-per-annum membrane ECU capacity of sodium hydroxide to be delivered to clients in Scandinavia.
BorsodChem's new membrane chlorine facility in Kazincbarcika, Hungary, successfully started producing chloralkali. Hence, increasing the production capacities of key market players acts as an opportunity for the market players can aid in boosting the pharma grade sodium market.
