The rise in worldwide biodiesel production is anticipated to be one of the key factors propelling the growth of the global sodium metal market.

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 05/25/2017 --The sluggish demand for sodium metal is attributed to hazardous effects of highly reactive sodium element. Challenges with handling and storage of sodium metal will continue to negatively impact the growth of the market. Further, limited availability of sodium metal on account of fewer players has resulted into introduction and use of alternatives, such as magnesium for use in industrial applications.
