TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Sodium Sulfate Market: AkzoNobel N.V., Alkim Alkali Kimya AS, Elementis plc, Lenzing AG, and Sirocco Mining Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “Detergent speckles are raw materials that are used to enhance the appearance of detergents. Anhydrous sodium sulfate, along with a pigment and a binding material is commonly used to manufacture detergent speckles. There are several vendors in China such as Sichuan Jinzhuang Technology Co. Ltd., that offer colorful detergent speckles, which are expected to enhance the visual appeal of detergents, thereby increasing the purchase intention in consumers. This trend is expected to increase the demand for sodium sulfate in the near future.”
According to the report, one of the most important drivers is the increase in production in the Middle East and the APAC region. Countries such as Turkey in the Middle East have high potential for the production of natural sodium sulfate. In the APAC region, a large number of vendors offer sodium sulfate, which is obtained as a by-product of other manufacturing processes, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the increase in demand for liquid detergents, as sodium sulfate is not required for their manufacture. Regions such as North America and Western Europe have a high demand for such liquid detergents.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
