According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United States Trona Market is Anticipated to Reach USD 1,779.8 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 2.34% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States trona market is propelled by growing demand for trona from the sectors of soda ash, animal feed, and air pollution control.

Market Overview

Trona is a mineral that occurs naturally and is made of hydrated sodium bicarbonate. The main use of trona is to make soda ash by heating it to very high temperatures and turning it into sodium bicarbonate. Soda ash is the raw material for glass, textiles, and detergents. The market is supported by large bedded and interbedded trona reserves in Wyoming's Green River Basin. Trona is extracted mainly using conventional continuous and room-and-pillar mining. Mining companies have been emphasizing the development of solutions in mining techniques to improve product recovery. The market for flue gas desulphurization will likely see increased applications due to stricter government regulations to reduce air pollution and increased usage of Dry Sorbent Injection (DSI) systems in fossil fuel power plants. Dry scrubbers are an economical advantage both annually and as an upfront cost to wet systems because there is less water usage and easier disposal of waste. The other byproducts of producing artificial soda ash are many and include calcium carbonate, residual chloride, and limestone components. Contamination of water happens as these extra waste materials are discarded into waterways. This is likely to accelerate demand for both trona and natural soda ash. Demand for natural soda ash is very high, and U.S. trona miners are operating at full capacity. In the state of Wyoming, a severance tax on minerals is likely to spur the industry and benefit the business climate and the U.S. economy, too.

The growing automotive sector, which employs glass in windows, windshields, and more, is also creating demand for trona, as is the expanding consumer goods sector, which includes products like cookware, tableware, and decorative glass.

Restraining Factors

The United States trona market faces obstacles like resource depletion, is a major limited mineral, and the mining of trona exposes deposits to depletion. Diminishing resources can challenge supply stability and raise the cost of soda ash. Environmental and regulatory restrictions include land degradation, excessive freshwater consumption, and pollutants that are often seen in the form of stricter permits and higher operational costs.

Market Segmentation

The United States trona market share is classified into application and end-use.

• The soda ash segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States trona market is segmented by application into soda ash, animal feed, and air pollution control. Among these, the soda ash segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by the chemical, pulp and paper, glass, and water treatment sectors consume very large quantities of soda ash. Demand for the product has been largely driven by explosive growth in the chemical industry and in building facilities to manufacture soda ash.

• The glass segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the end-use, the United States trona market is segmented into glass, chemicals, detergents, and others. Among these, the glass segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is propelled by the market for soda ash, which is driven by the increasing demand for glass from the construction and automotive industries. Strong growth of the glass container manufacturing industry is likely to further increase the market. In the steel industry, demand is expected to increase, due to heavy use of soda ash as a dephosphorizer, dentrifier, de-sulfizer, and flux.
