2. By Form Solid Liquid By Purity Upto 50% 50 to 70% 70 to 90% Above 90% By Production Method Mercury Cell Membrane Cell Diaphragm Cell By Application Organic Chemicals Inorganic Chemicals Alumina Paper & Pulp Soaps & Detergents Textile Water Treatment Pharmaceutical Others Drivers: Caustic soda’s rising importance in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a major growth driver. It reacts with CO₂ to form stable compounds, making it a valuable absorbent in decarbonisation efforts. Opportunities: Emergency water-purification systems offer a bright spot. In areas lacking safe drinking water where over 2 billion people currently struggle caustic soda is vital for purification through pH adjustment and disinfection. Growing water scarcity and pollution make this a promising market niche Restraints: A decline in global paper production driven by the digital shift, environmental regulations, and deforestation concerns is limiting caustic soda demand from that sector. For example, European paper output dropped ~13%, reducing one of the major industrial outlets .

3. Trends: The growth of lithium-ion battery recycling is emerging as a key trend. Caustic soda supports hydrometallurgical processes that recover lithium, cobalt, and nickel from spent batteries aligning with circular-economy goals and global EV momentum Market Key Players: The Dow Chemical Company Meghna Group of Industries Olin Corporation INEOS Group Nuberg EPC Tata Chemicals Ltd Formosa Plastics Corporation PVS Chemicals Nobian Westlake Corporation Aditya Birla Chemicals SABIC Tosoh Corporation Hanwha Chemical Corporation Nouryon Shin-Etsu Chemicals Co. Ltd ERCO Worldwide Other Key Players Conclusion: the caustic soda market is poised for steady, diversified growth. Its traditional strongholds like chemical production and solid-purity applications will continue delivering baseline demand. At the same time, newer, sustainability-driven uses in CCS, water purification, and battery recycling are opening growth corridors that didn’t exist a decade ago.
