Sodium Bisulfate Market Drivers

Increasing usage of Sodium Bisulfate in food & beverages

Sodium Bisulfate acts as a sequestrate that forms chelate complexes with polyvalent metal ions, especially copper, iron and nickel, and prevent the oxidation of the fats in the food. According to the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), Flexible Packaging is the second largest packaging segment in the U.S., garnering about 19 percent of the $170 billion U.S. packaging market as of June 2019 and the largest market for flexible packaging is food (retail and institutional), accounting for about 59 percent of shipments. In addition, Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) estimated that the demand for food will grow by 60% by 2050. Growing demand for packaged foods due to health concerns and changing lifestyle of the consumers is expected to drive the growth of the Sodium Bisulfate market during the forecast period.

Growing metal mining activities

The mining and metals industry is recovering from one of its most difficult periods in decades. According to the USGS National Minerals Information Center, the U.S. mines produced an estimated $82.2 billion of raw mineral materials in 2018 that is a 3% increase over the revised total of $79.7 billion in 2017. As, Sodium Bisulfate is the major component in dry acid bath formulations for metal cleaning typically used for pickling, scale removal, rust removal, and etching. Thus, the growth in the metal mining activity worldwide also drive the growth of this market. According to the United States Geological Survey, in 2017, domestic gold mine production was estimated to be about 245 tons, 10% more than that in 2016, and the value was estimated to be about $9.9 billion. An increase in mining activities and demand of gold for Jewellery and dentistry also boost the demand for Sodium Bisulfate.

Sodium Bisulfate Market Challenges

Harmful effects of Sodium Bisulfate on the human body and the presence of other alternatives

According to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) Sodium bisulfate is considered hazardous. Sodium bisulfate is harmful if swallowed in large amounts causes’ serious eye irritation, may cause respiratory irritation, and may be harmful. For instance, if sodium bisulfate gets in the eyes there may be decreased vision, eye pain, eye redness, and tearing. In addition, presence of alternatives such as sodium Bisulphite and ammonium thiosulphate, solutions which has better efficiency, restraints the market growth of Sodium Bisulfate. Thus, the harmful effects of sodium Bisulfate and the presence of other alternatives acts as a restraining factor to the market growth.
