Sodium Hydrosulfite Market – Size, and Opportunity Analysis, 2027
Sodium hydrosulfite, which is also called sodium dithionite, is a solid, crystalline, white powder with a hint of sulfurous odor. It is a sodium salt of dithinous acid, which is mostly stable in air, however, it decomposes in water or acid solutions. When it is given exposure to moisture and air it heats up spontaneously. It is easy to transport and can be stored for an extended period of time provided necessary safety precautions are taken against moisture and air. Sodium hydrosulfite applications in many industries, though particularly in paper and pulp industry for bleaching, depolarization, and brightening of virgin and recycled fiber.

Increasing use of sodium hydrosulfite in various industries for bleaching application is expected to propel the market growth in the near future. Wood pulp and textile industry account for the largest consumers of sodium hydrosulfite as it is used for bleaching process in the respective industries. Sodium hydrosulfite is also used for bleaching process in food additives, pharmaceuticals, mineral pre flotation, and kaolin bleaching. This is expected to increase the demand for sodium hydrosulfite and subsequently boost the market growth. Moreover, increasing demand for bleaching agents in various industries is expected to boost the demand for sodium hydrosulfite and support the market growth. However, a gradual decline in pulp and paper production around the world is expected to hamper the demand for sodium hydrosulfite and subsequently restrain the global sodium hydrosulfite market growth. Rise in environmental awareness is expected to hinder the demand for paper and paper products, which will negatively impact the market growth. Furthermore, increasing labor cost is also expected to hamper the market growth, particularly in emerging economies.
