Growth drivers: food and beverage

Sodium metabisulfite is gaining momentum commercially in food and beverage sector to bolster the shelf life of meat products such as burgers and sausages. Of late, popularity of sodium metabisulfite has become more apparent in beverages as it is increasingly being used to sanitize the equipment for winemaking.

Increasing palpability of sodium metabisulfite in baked products, dried fruits, potato chips, and jams is likely to spur the industry growth.

Trends: Pharmaceutical sector

Trend for sodium metabisulfite in pharmaceutical formulations has become more apparent in recent years as it has gained traction as an antioxidant in both pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

Use of antioxidant is being used to retain the stability of the manufactured tablets with various model drugs with the highly soluble drug. To put things in perspective, sodium metabisulfite is profoundly being used in drug preparation owing to its anti-oxidant properties. Use of antioxidant is setting the trend for it can ward off degradation significantly.

Opportunities abound

Stakeholders envisage sodium metabisulfite to play an invaluable role in the treatment of wastewater, water and waste as reducing agent. Study predicts that use of sodium metabisulfite will be more noticeable in industrial process water and wastewater to reduce chlorine.

Opportunities in sodium metabisulfite go beyond the realms of food and beverage and wastewater treatment and expand toward textile industry. For instance, sodium metabisulfite in the production of wool and as an antichlor for reducing vat dyes are creating revenue opportunities for stakeholders who are eyeing to expand their portfolios. Prominently, application of sodium metabisulfite as a bleaching agent in textile industry will provide palpable growth opportunities for leading companies in sodium metabisulfite market.
