簡介目錄

全球碳酸鈉（堿灰）市場預計將從2022年的196.54億美元成長到2029年的286.47億美元，複合年成長率為5.53%。

堿灰，也稱為碳酸鈉（堿灰），是生產玻璃、肥皂、清潔劑和其他各種工業應用的重要原料。由於建設產業的不斷擴大以及對世界各地基礎設施計劃的多元化投資，預計該市場將會成長。在美國，化學品是使用最廣泛的必需產品之一，對該國的 GDP 做出了巨大貢獻。因此，聯準會將每月堿灰產量資料納入其經濟指標中，以監測美國經濟的整體狀況。市場依類型分為重質堿灰和堿灰。

市場驅動力

碳酸鈉（堿灰）市場需求和終端用戶產業成長的擴大推動市場成長

堿灰可用於洗衣和清洗配方。透過促進油污的乳化，有助於提高清洗效果。它的用途還包括最大限度地減少洗滌和沖洗過程中的污垢沉積，為清洗目的提供鹼度，並幫助軟化洗滌水。此外，堿灰作為清潔劑組合物中另一種重要助洗劑即三聚磷酸鈉(STPP)的配方成分發揮重要作用。此外，它還用於生產群青，可以增加白色服裝類的亮度。根據美國環保署 2022 年報告，2019 年消耗的所有碳酸鈉（堿灰）中近 47% 歸因於玻璃製造。化學工業約佔碳酸鈉（堿灰）銷售總量的 30%。 2019年國內消費的其餘部分由6%的商業市場經銷商、6%的肥皂和清潔劑、5%的雜項用途、4%的排煙脫硫、1%的紙漿和造紙以及1%的水處理組成。

2019年，美國非燃料礦產總產量預計達863億美元，比前一年增加20億美元。根據2020年報告，美國的各種原料和加工礦物材料仍然依賴外國來源。 2019年，進口占46種非燃料礦產表觀消費量的一半以上，其中美國17種100%淨進口依賴。 2019年國內重要稀土元素精礦產量大幅增加8,000噸（超過44%），總合達2.6萬噸。這使得美國成為中國以外最大的稀土精礦生產國。 2019年，美國金屬礦山產值預估為281億美元，較2018年增加約5億美元。 2018年金屬礦業總產值的主要貢獻者是金（32%）、銅（28%）、鐵礦石（19%）和鋅（7%）。

市場開拓支持市場成長

2022 年 5 月，索爾維收購了懷俄明州格林河一座天然堿灰工廠的全部所有權。索爾維宣布持有AGC在其美國懷俄明州格林河堿灰合資企業中剩餘的20%少數股權，鞏固其在天然鹼堿灰生產領域的主導地位。
2023 年9 月23 日，泰米爾納德邦VO Chidambaranar 港務局為杜蒂戈林鹼化學和化肥有限公司(TFL) 接收了從埃及達米埃塔港運抵的3x20 ISO 綠色氨集裝箱，總重37.4 噸。傳統上，灰氨用於製造堿灰。作為「綠色舉措」的一部分，TFL 進口綠色氨用於綠色堿灰的試點生產。此外，TFL 計劃今年進口 2,000 噸，視綠色氨供應情況而定。

在北美，碳酸鈉（堿灰）市場預計將出現後續成長。

美國是世界上天然碳酸鈉（堿灰）礦床的主要來源國，並控制著一些世界上最大的水庫。美國擁有龐大的國內碳酸鈉（堿灰）供應和分銷網路，並在世界製造業中佔據主導地位。例如，國內天然堿灰（碳酸鈉（堿灰））產量為1,200萬噸，較上年增加20%。然而，美國堿灰產業的特點是生產商數量有限、生產地點分散，主要集中在兩個地區。懷俄明州有四家公司經營五家工廠，加州則有一家工廠由一家公司管理。

與合成堿灰生產商相比，天然堿灰生產商具有生產成本較低、環境足跡較小的明顯優勢。合成堿灰的生產過程通常比天然堿灰的生產過程涉及更高的能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。近年來，全球已有多家合成堿灰工廠關閉或停止營運。這為美國天然堿灰製造商擴大市場佔有率創造了機會。

Soda Ash, also known as sodium carbonate, serves as a crucial raw material in the production of glass, soaps, detergents, and various other industrial applications. The market is expected to witness growth driven by the expanding construction industry, marked by diverse investments in global infrastructure projects. In the United States, chemicals rank among the most widely used and essential products, contributing significantly to the country's GDP. Consequently, the Federal Reserve Board incorporates monthly soda ash production data into its economic indicators to monitor the overall condition of the U.S. economy. The market is segmented into dense soda ash and light soda ash based on type.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Expanding growth of end user industries to drive demand and market growth of sodium carbonate market

Soda ash finds application in formulations for laundry and cleaning compounds. It contributes to improved cleansing efficacy, such as serving as a builder in the emulsification of oil stains. Its usage extends to minimizing dirt deposition during washing and rinsing, providing alkalinity for cleaning purposes, and aiding in the softening of laundry water. Additionally, soda ash plays a crucial role as a constituent in the formulation of another significant builder in detergent compositions, namely sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Moreover, it is employed in the production of ultramarine, enhancing the brightness of white clothing. According to a 2022 report from the US Environmental Protection Agency, in 2019, nearly 47% of the total sodium carbonate consumed was attributed to glass manufacturing. The chemical industry accounted for approximately 30% of total sodium carbonate sales. The remaining portion of domestic consumption in 2019 comprised commercial market distributors at 6%, soaps and detergents at 6%, miscellaneous applications at 5%, flue gas desulfurization at 4%, pulp and paper at 1%, and water treatment at 1%.

In 2019, the total estimated value of nonfuel mineral production in the United States reached $86.3 billion, marking a $2 billion increase from the previous year. The 2020 report indicates that the U.S. still depends on foreign sources for various raw and processed mineral materials. Imports accounted for over half of the apparent consumption of 46 nonfuel mineral commodities in 2019, and the U.S. was 100% net import reliant for 17 of them. The domestic production of critical rare-earth mineral concentrates saw a significant increase of 8,000 metric tons (over 44%) in 2019, reaching a total of 26,000 metric tons. This positioned the U.S. as the largest producer of rare-earth mineral concentrates outside of China. In 2019, the estimated value of metal mine production in the United States was 28.1 billion, representing an increase of nearly 500 million compared to 2018. The primary contributors to the overall value of metal mine production in 2018 were gold (32%), copper (28%), iron ore (19%), and zinc (7%).

Market developments to bolster the growth of the market.

In May 2022, Solvay obtained full ownership of its natural soda ash facility in Green River, Wyoming. Solvay revealed the purchase of the remaining 20% minority stake held by AGC in the Soda Ash joint venture located in Green River, WY, USA, strengthening its dominant role in trona-based soda ash manufacturing.
On September 23, 2023, the V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority in Tamil Nadu successfully managed the handling of 3x20 ISO Green Ammonia Containers, with a total weight of 37.4 tons of Green Ammonia, arriving from Damietta Port, Egypt, for M/s. Tuticorin Alkali Chemical and Fertilizers Ltd (TFL). Traditionally, Grey Ammonia is used in soda ash production. In line with the Go Green initiative, TFL has imported green ammonia for the trial production of Green Soda Ash. Additionally, TFL has plans to import 2000 MT this year, contingent upon the availability of Green Ammonia.

North America is expected to witness subsequent growth in the sodium carbonate market.

The United States stands as the primary global hub for natural sodium carbonate deposits, controlling some of the largest reservoirs worldwide. Beyond its global manufacturing prominence, the U.S. maintains a substantial domestic supply and distribution network for sodium carbonate. For instance, domestic production yielded twelve million tons of natural soda ash (sodium carbonate), marking a 20% increase from the previous year. Despite this, the U.S. soda ash industry is characterized by a limited number of producers and dispersed production sites, primarily concentrated in two regions. Wyoming houses four companies operating five facilities, while California hosts one plant under the management of a single company.

Natural soda ash producers enjoy distinct advantages over synthetic counterparts, marked by lower production costs and a reduced environmental footprint. The manufacturing process of synthetic soda ash typically entails higher energy consumption and greater carbon dioxide emissions compared to the production of natural soda ash. Recent years have witnessed the closure or inactivity of several synthetic soda ash plants globally. This creates opportunities for American manufacturers of natural soda ash to expand their market presence.
