H1 2023: In H1 2023, North America witnessed mixed sodium chlorate market scenario. During the first four months of 2023, the market for sodium chlorate in North America demonstrated positive market momentum. There was a surge in demand of sodium chlorate by downstream paper and detergent industries with high industrial production and sales. Increased consumer demand for sodium chlorate caused a sharp increase in price. Additionally, the level of stockpiles was low to meet the demand, and the supply rate lagged, which led to an unstable demand-supply ratio and an increase in the price of sodium chlorate in the US. However, prices dropped in May 2023 due to reduced demand in the paper and detergent industries over the entire month, which was then followed by lower freight costs. Additionally, prices resumed their upward trend in June, and demand by the end-use industries rose in the US. On the other hand, the price of sodium chlorate in the Asia Pacific region fluctuated in H1 2023. Initially, prices for sodium chlorate steadily increased till February 2023, after which it sharply decreased. The consumption of sodium chlorate increased as the paper and downstream detergent sectors thrived. The demand for sodium chlorate declined in March 2023 due to the high supply rate and overflowing inventories, which led to a significant price decline. Sodium Chlorate prices jumped on the Chinese market during April 2023 due to strong demand from the detergent and paper end-user industries. However, due to moderate to poor procurement activity and weak cost of production, sodium chlorate prices fell in May 2023 in China.
The global Sodium Chlorate market has expanded remarkably to reach approximately 3700 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.33% during the forecast period until 2035.
Sodium Chlorate is a salt of sodium with the formula NaClO3. It is an inorganic salt that is hygroscopic in nature. It is an odorless powder and appears to be yellow in color. It is synthesized by electrolysis of concentrated brine, followed by low-temperature continuous evaporative crystallization in vacuum. This salt is a powerful oxidizing agent and commonly used for bleaching paper to make it appear whiter. It is also commonly used as an herbicide and kill a wide array of plants including morning glory and bamboo. At high temperatures such as 300 degrees Celsius to release oxygen. This salt is used in various industries such as production of dyes, herbicides, defoliants, inks, leather, paper, and explosives.
The primary driver of Sodium Chlorate global market is the Pulp & Paper Industries. In 2022, approximately 85% of global Sodium Chlorate was utilized by Pulp & Paper Industries. It is utilized to produce tissue paper, toilet paper, and high-quality paper. Furthermore, Sodium Chlorate’s demand to produce herbicides and defoliants for crops like rice and beans, is also expected to contribute to its growing demand in the forecast period. The global market of Sodium Chlorate is likely to expand to reach demand approximately 5700 tonnes by 2035.
Based on demand across the globe, the North America reports as the biggest consumer of Sodium Chlorate market. In 2022, North America accounted for a consumption of more than 35% of the total Sodium Chlorate. As a result of increase in the e-commerce activities, the pulp and bleach industry are expanding in North America, propelling the growth of the Sodium Chlorate market. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is also a prominent consumer of Sodium Chlorate. Due to rapid urbanization in developing countries situated in Asia, there is a strong need of water treatment that calls for acceleration of demand of Sodium Chlorate. Furthermore, Canada is dominating the Sodium Chlorate market as a producer. It is anticipated that Canada will be leading as a world producer in the forecast period as well.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Sodium Chlorate market is segmented into various industrial sectors including Pulp & Paper Industries, Chemical Intermediates, Water Treatment, Metal & Mining (Surface Treatment), and Others. The Pulp & Paper Industries is the primary consumer of Sodium Chlorate. Sodium Chlorate is employed for the production of chlorine dioxide, which works a powerful bleaching agent. The paper manufactured with chlorine dioxide is whiter and opaque in quality. The pulp and paper industry are anticipated to maintain its grip on the Sodium Chlorate market in the forecast period as well. Chemical Intermediates and Water Treatment industries are also major consumers of the global Sodium Chlorate market.
Major players in the production of Global Sodium Chlorate are Nouryon, Chemtrade, Erco Worldwide, Inc., Kemira, China First Chemical Holding Limited, Arkema S.A, and Kerr McGee Chemicals Corp.
