Sodium Hydrosulfite Industry - Regional Synopsis

APAC Market Statistics

By 2037, Asia Pacific sodium hydrosulfite market is predicted to capture over 34.6% revenue share. The market is expanding owing to the increased demand for NaHS from several industries including, mining, pulp & paper, and chemical processing. Additionally, an increased shift towards industrialization and urbanization has surged the demand for luxury leather products and water treatment, where NaHS plays a vital role. Approximately 80% of wastewater in the Asia Pacific area is released untreated. As a result, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is extending its wastewater reuse and management programs, including sanitation and hygiene. ADB intends to expand the region's capacity for wastewater management through greater knowledge, better technologies, more funding, and more effective lobbying through a planned region-wide project on Promoting an Asia Pacific Wastewater Management Revolution. Moreover, the region’s abundant natural resources, lower production costs, and growing industrial base further drive market expansion.

In China, extensive mining and leather processing industries are accelerating the sodium hydrosulfite market growth. There are more than 1,500 large mining operations in China. In the country, underground mining accounts for about 75% of all significant mining operations. Also, the mining sector generates more than USD 400 billion annually. Furthermore, greener production methods have been used by manufacturers as a result of recent government measures to reduce environmental pollution, and the demand for premium sodium hydrosulfite in mining is still rising.

To satisfy domestic demand, local textile manufacturing capacity is growing in India, and firms are increasingly looking at export prospects. According to the Ministry of Textiles report, India ranks third globally in terms of textile and apparel exports. In 2022, India's overall merchandise exports accounted for a noteworthy 10.5%. India accounts for 4.6% of the world market for clothing and textiles. About half of India's textile and clothing exports go to the U.S., the European Union, and the UK. India's emphasis on economic production is propelling the sodium hydrosulfite market. Moreover, the demand for packaged food products and personal care items is expected to rise due to the expanding population and rising disposable income, which will enhance manufacturing and packaging activities.
