Market Overview

The sodium sulphate market demonstrated the demand and supply of sodium sulphate, which is a white, soluble inorganic substance used in glassmaking, detergent production, textile manufacturing and drying operations. Sodium sulphate, also referred to as Glaubers salt, exists in a chemical form that combines two sodium atoms with one sulfate ion. The substance exists as a product that companies create by combining sodium chloride and sulfuric acid, although natural sources of the substance exist in rocks such as Thenardite and Mirabilite. The product functions as a filler material for powdered surfactants, which improves the texture and performance of the product.

In September 2023, Cinis Fertilizer announced plans to build a new sodium sulphate creation site in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. They partnered with Ascend Elements to obtain sodium sulphate for the project. Aepnus Technology, the developer of an electrochemical platform for circularity improvement and emission reduction in the battery supply chain chemicals, raised $8 million in seed financing to accelerate its development of an innovative end to end sodium sulphate recycling technology.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is continuing its multi-phase voluntary sodium reduction efforts in processed foods, with Phase II draft guidance issued in August 2024, which aims to reduce average sodium intake to 2,750 mg per day by the year 2030. A U.S. International Trade Commission ruling in September 2022 found no injury from Canadian imports of anhydrous sodium sulphate.

Driving Factors

The sodium sulphate market in North America is driven by the expansion of the glass manufacturing sector. Sodium sulphate functions as a fining agent in glass production because it enables the elimination of bubbles and impurities. The glass manufacturing industry will experience continuous growth because the demand for glass products in the construction and packaging sectors continues to increase. The chemical manufacturing sector is expected to grow because industrial activities increase and there is a rising need for specialty chemicals. The textile industry is expected to expand at approximately 5% each year because consumers increasingly demand fashionable and sustainable clothing.

Restraining Factors

The sodium sulphate market in North America is hindered by the rising costs and decreased availability of raw materials, which include salt cake and energy resources, resulting in higher production costs and lower profit margins for manufacturers. The implementation of stricter environmental regulations and waste disposal standards especially affects sulphate emissions from industrial and mining operations.

Market Segmentation

The North America sodium sulphate market share is categorised into nature and end user.

• The nature segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America sodium sulphate market is segmented by nature into natural and synthetic. Among these, the nature segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by the natural sodium sulphate, which exists as an inexpensive mineral resource that provides environmentally friendly properties. The company maintains its leading market position because it operates sustainable mining operations, which require minimal processing of the material.

• The detergents segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on end user, the North America sodium sulphate market is segmented into paper & pulp, detergents, glass, food & beverages, and others. Among these, the detergents segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. Detergents accounted for 43% of the market in 2022. The cleaning agent within this compound helps to remove tough stains and deep-seated dirt while protecting the fabric material from damage. The substance functions as a strong anti-caking agent, which stops lumps from forming while it improves material flow. The product functions as a rust prevention system when used in washing machines.
