The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for Sodium Sulfite was estimated to be worth US$ 236 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 306 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Sodium sulfite, a common sulfite, is a colorless, monoclinic crystal or powder. It is irritating to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes and can pollute water sources. It produces toxic sulfide fumes when decomposed by high heat. It is mainly used in industry to make cellulose sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, organic chemicals, bleached fabrics, etc. It is also used as a reducing agent, preservative, dechlorinating agent, etc. It is used as a bleaching agent, preservative, loosening agent, and antioxidant in the food industry.
