The global soda ash market was valued at US$ 20.66 billion in 2023. It is expected to grow to US$ 24.83 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of about 2.8% over the 2024–2032 period.

➡️Why did the market size drop slightly from 2023 to 2024?

The 2024 value is estimated at US$ 19.91 billion, slightly lower than in 2023. This dip can be attributed to post-COVID disruptions, supply chain issues, and reduced demand in some end-use industries.

Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a highly versatile alkali chemical with wide-ranging industrial applications. One of its most important uses is in glass manufacturing, where it helps lower the melting point of silica, making production more energy-efficient. In the detergent industry, soda ash serves as a water softener, improving cleaning performance.

It is equally significant in the paper industry, where it is used for pulping and as a pH regulator in various chemical processes, including water treatment. Beyond these applications, soda ash is valuable in the textile sector, particularly in dyeing, where it ensures that colors bond effectively to fabrics.

In addition to industrial uses, soda ash also plays a role in the food industry. It functions as a food additive, helping regulate acidity and acting as a leavening agent in certain baked goods. This wide spectrum of applications underscores soda ash's essential role across multiple industries.
