India Caustic Potash Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Process, Demand & Supply, End Use, Application, Sales Channel, Region, Competition, Trade, Customer & Price Intelligence Market Analysis, 2015-2030

India Caustic Potash market demand stood at 0.13 Million Tonnes in FY2021 and is forecast to reach 0.18 Million Tonnes by FY2030, growing at a healthy CAGR of 4.25% until FY2030. Caustic Potash, also called potassium hydroxide (KOH), is an inorganic alkaline compound that is industrially manufactured by the electrolysis of potassium chloride and water solution. Being a strong alkali, Caustic Potash is used as an essential chemical in manufacturing several industrial chemicals. Caustic Potash finds applications in the food and beverage industry as a stabilizer, thickening agent, and pH regulator. Caustic Potash is a versatile cleaning agent and is used in the production of liquid soaps, shampoos, and hairsprays. Moreover, Potassium Hydroxide soaps are more environment-friendly than Sodium Hydroxide due to their enhanced solubility in water. The biggest consumer of Caustic Potash is the Potassium Carbonate manufacturing industry. Other applications include the manufacturing of industrial chemicals (Permanganates, Acetates, and Cyanides), neutralization agents, batteries, etc. Additionally, KOH-based fertilizers are also being widely utilized in the agricultural sector due to their quality to enhance productivity and improve crop yield. Moreover, demand for Caustic Potash pipes is fueled by its higher usage in agriculture for water supply, drainage, and irrigation, owing to its enhanced properties such as corrosion-resistant, hardness, etc. The use of Caustic Potash in injection molding for plastic production is also gaining popularity and given preference in automotive, packaging, agriculture, and other industries. These factors are anticipated to contribute to the growth of the Caustic Potash demand in the country. COVID-19 has impacted the caustic potash market adversely as chlorine derivatives demand has squeezed the supply of caustic soda, a by-product of chlorine production. However, post-COVID-19, the market is expected to pick up the pace eventually.
