Moreover, it is widely used as a catalyst in biodiesel production. Sodium methoxide is extremely reactive to oxygen. Hence, it is kept away from moisture, water, or air at high temperatures (above 126C) to avoid being decomposed to sodium hydroxide and methanol.

The global sodium methoxide market has witnessed significant growth over the past few years. The market is expected to witness significant growth in the near future, owing to surge in its demand for use in various applications, especially in pharmaceutical and agro-based industries, and organic synthesis of various products.

In addition, growing demand for sodium methylate as a catalyst in applications, such as edible oil processing, grease, and synthetic detergents is further supplement the market growth. Moreover, market is expected to be driven by the steady growth in biodiesel production for being used as a catalyst. However, high cost of raw materials is expected to hamper the market growth.
