Global Soda Ash Market Driven by Increased Demand for Automotive Glass Components

Soda ash or sodium carbonate is an inorganic chemical produced from sodium chloride and limestone. The naturally forming soda ash is mined from an ore called Trona. IndustryARC’s research analysts have come up with a report on soda ash market, covering all the recent developments and circumstances affecting the estimated $16454 million arcades growing with a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025. The study incorporates all the commercial aspects of the commodity’s market size ranging from its end-users industries and regional revenue pockets to an imperative application-demand landscape. Being a highly soluble substance, soda ash is used for numerous productive chemical reactions. Owing to such benefitting peculiarities, the analyst of the report after an acute soda ash market analysis identifies several flourishing sectors employing the compound in its operations which includes paper, automotive and construction, chemicals and fertilizers. Global Soda Ash Market Demand- An Analysis:

• As per the Green America Organization, worldwide consumption of paper witnessed an escalation of 400% in the last 40 years, mounting the usage of paper products from 92 million tons to 208 million tons. Soda ash is used in the first process of transforming pulp into paper. Due to digitalization, the demand for printing and writing paper may be affected but it fails to distress paper products production rate owing to increasing demand from other sectors. For example, food and beverage, which accounts for nearly 10% of global GDP, is a major employer of paper products for its packaging necessities. Thus the never shrinking paper products domain is all set to stroke the soda ash market with abundant demand.
• With the advent and innovation of ConTech, civil engineering assessments exhibit an inclination towards aesthetic glass and steel centric infrastructures out casting the contemporary concrete designs. Soda ash acts as a fluxing agent to silica, a major glass forming the oxide. The future of construction industry looks ‘glassy’ and the International Financial Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group has estimated that nearly 75% of the infrastructure that will be existent in 2050 is yet to be constructed and the annual obligatory investment to meet the objective is estimated to be around $3.3 trillion. The global construction industry is ranked at the apex as the consumer of raw materials, and hence with such an abundant demand and influx of investments, the adjacent sectors are bound to divert some revenue and business into their own pockets. Consequently, soda ash application in the manufacturing processes of glass is forecast to poise the market with copious opportunities and market share. The glass industry is the major employer of the soda ash market growing with a CAGR of 3.4% through 2025, as per the soda ash market application outlook.
• Trending association of wellness with aesthetic has tremendously affected the individual’s lifestyle and the modern vehicle design-concept couldn’t be an exception. To meet the surfacing demand automobile manufacturers have increased the application of glass in their unit’s design owing to its visual feasibility along with economical and endurable traits. A classic example is a modern fuel or electric bus or any premium car with the enhanced size of glass components such as windscreens, side, and rear windows and glass panel roofs. Therefore, the global automotive sector manufacturing nearly 100 million units per year and growing with a decent rate of 2.36% (OICA) is poised to propel the soda ash market owing to its demand for glass.

Global Soda Ash Market: Regional Outlook Asia-Pacific leads the soda ash market segment with nearly 50% of the global marketplace under its territory as of 2018. Factors listed below justify such dominance:

• Unsaturated construction sector and rapidly evolving infrastructures in the form of glass oriented skyscrapers in China, Japan, India, Malaysia, and other prominent countries. China is a global leader with 353 skyscrapers just in Hong Kong as of January 2019 and 1400 in total.
• Automobile production rate portraying an impressive growth rate in India (5.83%), China (3.19%), and Japan (5.31%), as of 2017. Increasing disposable income triggering automobile affordability among population and diversion towards the premium car segment.
• Application of soda ash in the manufacturing of fertilizers, which is a major commodity for agriculture centric massive country like India. The agricultural scenario of India can be indicated by the fact that the annual agricultural report (2017-2078) by the Government of India stated that 54.6% of the population is engaged in agricultural activities and it contributes 17.4% to the country’s GVA (gross value added). 43% of the total geographical area under agricultural services.
• Major global players located in this region such as Nirma Limited, fourth largest producer of soda ash with an investment of $1.6 billion. Tata Chemicals Limited, a leading key player with a total capacity of around 5.5 million tonnes of soda ash per annum. GHCL Limited, India’s leading producer with an annual production capacity of 975 thousand MTPA.

Conclusion: Soda ash is an important industrial commodity considering its productive peculiarities. This era indulging in robust industrialization with unstoppable demand from several industries such as rapidly innovating automotive, robustly growing construction and very imperative agricultural fertilizers are serving as major employers in the soda ash marketplace. Innovation inefficient mining techniques such as room and pillar mining technique elevate the extraction of soda ash from 30% to 45% positively influencing the soda ash market. The only significant challenge faced by the market is the depletion of trona ore which may consequence an upsurge in the manufacturing processes price.
