<strong>Caustic</strong> soda, also known as lye or sodium hydroxide, is an inorganic compound that is commercially available<br />
in the form of granules, pellets or flakes. It is used in various industrial applications owing to its strong alkaline<br />
properties. These applications include manufacture of pulp & paper, petroleum products, alumina, soaps &<br />
detergents, textiles, food processing, petroleum processing, water treatment, mining, pharmaceuticals and<br />
glass making. Commercially, caustic soda is used as a solid or 50% aqueous solution. It is industrially<br />
produced through the electrolytic chloralkali process.<br />

Growth in end-user industries such as pulp & paper, alumina, soaps & detergents and chemicals is estimated<br />
to boost demand for caustic soda during the forecast period. Chlor-alkali is an electro-intensive industry, as it<br />
uses electricity as a raw material and not as utility. Thus, the energy intensive production process of caustic<br />

In terms of volume, organics was the largest application segment of the caustic soda market accounting for<br />
approximately 20% share in 2013. <strong>Caustic</strong> soda is extensively used as a base in the manufacture of various<br />
organic chemicals such as methanol, hydroxyl ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, cellulose<br />
ether and methyl cellulose and acetic acid. Alumina is projected to be the fastest growing application segment<br />
during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for aluminum in automotive, packaging and aerospace<br />
applications. Additionally, pulp & paper accounted for a significant volume share in 2013 due to high demand<br />
for caustic soda in bleaching processes. The market for pulp & paper has witnessed a surge in the past few<br />
years. Other applications including textiles, petroleum processing and food processing have been growing at a<br />
fast pace over the past few decades. This trend is likely to continue during the forecast period. This, in turn, is<br />
expected to drive demand for caustic soda in the near future.<br />
