<strong>Sodium</strong> <strong>Hydrosulfite</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />

REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />

<strong>Sodium</strong> <strong>Hydrosulfite</strong> <strong>Market</strong> - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2023<br />

<strong>Sodium</strong> hydrosulfite, commonly known as sodium dithionite, is a crystalline white powder. It is stable under normal<br />

conditions and decomposes either in acidic conditions or in contact with hot water. <strong>Sodium</strong> hydrosulfite is manufactured<br />

by different processes such as zinc dust process, amalgam process, and formate process. These three processes are<br />

primarily used to manufacture sodium hydrosulfite. Furthermore, zinc dust and amalgam processes accounted for almost<br />

80% of the global production in 2014. All applications of sodium hydrosulfite are due to its superior reducing ability.<br />

<strong>Sodium</strong> hydrosulfite offers reducing properties in acidic medium and heated atmosphere.<br />

<strong>Sodium</strong> hydrosulfite is widely used for bleaching purposes in the paper & pulp industry, textile processing, mineral ore<br />

flotation, kaolin bleaching, pharmaceuticals, and food additives. However, it is primarily used in textile and wood pulp<br />

bleaching applications. Textile and wood pulp bleaching applications cumulatively held market share of over 80% of the<br />

sodium hydrosulfite market in 2014. <strong>Sodium</strong> hydrosulfite is used as a reducing agent as well as a reducing bleaching<br />

agent in fabrics such as nylon, wool, and cotton in the textile industry. Furthermore, sodium hydrosulfite is employed for<br />

stripping of color from fabrics. It is also used in the reduction clearing process for disperse dyes. It is used in wood pulp<br />

bleaching to brighten pulp with lower yield loss in the paper industry. It is used as a bleaching agent for mechanical pulp<br />

bleaching in the paper & pulp industry.<br />

Textile processing and wood pulp bleaching are primarily responsible for boosting demand for sodium hydrosulfite.<br />

Furthermore, the market dynamics of these applications affect the global market for sodium hydrosulfite. Demand for<br />

textile products, particularly apparel, has increased across the world, which has resulted in rise in demand for sodium<br />

hydrosulfite globally. In terms of demand, Asia Pacific, being the textile manufacturing hub of the world, held the largest<br />

share of the sodium hydrosulfite market in 2014. The paper and pulp industry, on the other hand, has struggled to keep<br />

pace with rapid global digitalization. Hence, steady decline in demand for paper and paper products has been witnessed<br />

in North America and Europe. However, the market in Asia Pacific and Latin America is expected to expand at a decent<br />
