H1 2023: The leading producer of Sodium Lignosulphonate in H1 2023 was Borregaard Lignotech AB. Regionally, North America was the leading consumer of Sodium Lignosulphonate among all the other regions in H1 2023. However, Prices for sodium lignosulphonate decreased from January to March 2023 as a result of weak demand. Despite an abundance of product in the local market, no increase in prices was observed in the North American region. Buyers were receiving cheaper shipments as a result of the pessimism surrounding the recession, particularly in the USA. Additionally, the demand of Sodium Lignosulphonate by the construction industry remained weak and region had abundance of the chemical. Beginning from April 2023, sodium lignosulphonate prices increased in the US market. The price fundamentals for the product in the US remained positive overall in the middle of the quarter due to consistent offtakes despite high inventory levels. In May 2023, the domestic US construction industry displayed a recovery and led to hike in the demand of the chemical in the nation but soon declined in June 2023. Prices for sodium lignosulphonate in Asia displayed mixed views in H1 2023. In China, prices barely increased in May, while they continued their overall upward trend in India. Sodium Lignosulfonate prices increased significantly as a result of the poor supply and high demand in India. Expensive imports from countries like the USA and China had an impact on the pricing dynamics of the product in India.
The global Sodium Lignosulphonate market stood at approximately 400 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.33% during the forecast period until 2030.
Sodium Lignosulphonate is a sodium salt with the chemical formula C20H24Na2O10S2. It appears to be a brownish powder and is frequently used as a defoamer in paper manufacturing. Sodium Lignosulphonate has preservation qualities for the food industry. It is readily soluble in water and is applied in various sectors such as construction, concrete, ceramics, etc. It is mainly used as a binder for coke or industrial metal powder, as an addition in feedstock, and as concrete admixtures. Oil drilling pulp is generated with sodium lignosulfonate, which helps to control drilling mud mobility by lowering mud viscosity and shear force. This substance, which is appropriate for use in the dam, building, and throughway construction projects, is used as a plasticizer in concrete. It is used for various purposes, including dust suppressants, gypsum capping, animal feed binders, and oil field additives.
The primary market driver of the global Sodium Lignosulphonate market is the Construction industry, which is employed as a plasticizer in cement. This chemical works as an additive to make the concrete soluble and improves the workability of the concrete by working as a plasticizer and water-reducing agent. Owing to rising construction projects, the demand for paints and cement is bound to increase, which will most likely propel the Sodium Lignosulphonate market in coming years. Due to these factors clubbed up, the global Sodium Lignosulphonate market is anticipated to reach approximately 560 thousand tonnes by 2030.
Based on type, the global Sodium Lignosulphonate market is divided into Dry and Liquid types. Although, the dry type has a higher consumption and finds applications like building works, mineral powder, ceramics, chemical, leather industry, metallurgy sector, oil industry, fire-retardant materials, and rubber vulcanization. Additionally, it can also be used as an additive in animal feed because of its anti-microbial and preservative properties.
Based on grade, the Sodium Lignosulphonate market is segregated into- upto 50%, 51-60%, above 60%, and others. Although, the demand for 51-60% grade is the highest as this grade is the most versatile and employed in many different applications.
Europe is dominating the Sodium Lignosulphonate market, followed by North America. Europe accounted for a market share of about 40% of the global Sodium Lignosulphonate market in 2022. The high demand in these regions is primarily due to the application of sodium lignosulphonate in the construction sector. Although, a considerable demand of sodium lignosulphonate is anticipated in countries like India, China, and Japan due to the fast-paced industrialization coupled with additional funds from the government. Moreover, Norway is the leading producer of Sodium Lignosulphonate followed by Sweden.
Based on the end-user industry, the Sodium Lignosulphonate market is segmented into sectors such as Construction, Animal Feed, Oil and Gas, Agriculture, Textile, and Others. Among these, the Construction industry is the leading segment and accounted for around 40% of the share of total Sodium Lignosulphonate demand in 2022. This industry is anticipated to dominate the global Sodium Lignosulphonate market owing to its property to make the concrete soluble and improves the workability of the concrete by working as a plasticizer and water-reducing agent. The demand for sodium lignosulphonate is predicted to rise due to construction projects in the following years.
Significant players in the Global Sodium Lignosulphonate market are Borregaard Lignotech AB, Domsjö Fabriker AB, Tembec Inc., Anda Chemical Company Ltd., Sappi Ltd., and Others.
