Paper Industry Compensates for Waning Demand from Soap and Detergent Industry
At the forefront of driving growth in the global sodium sulfate market is the soap and detergent industry. This is because sodium sulfate finds application as a diluting agent and fillers in soaps and detergents. However emergence and popularity of concentrated liquid detergents instead of bulkier powder formulations is serving to crimp demand for sodium sulfate. However, other application areas are propping up its demand. For example, its finds widespread usage as a chemical compound in the bleaching process of kraft pulp and as a dyeing agent in the textile industry.
Also, fuelling demand in the market is the booming construction and automotive industry.
