碳酸钠(碱灰)市场-2024年至2029年预测Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash) Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
全球碳酸钠(碱灰)市场预计将从2022年的196.54亿美元成长到2029年的286.47亿美元,复合年增长率为5.53%。
碱灰,也称为碳酸钠(碱灰),是生产玻璃、肥皂、清洁剂和其他各种工业应用的重要原料。由于建设产业的不断扩大以及对世界各地基础设施计划的多元化投资,预计该市场将会成长。在美国,化学品是使用最广泛的必需产品之一,对该国的 GDP 做出了巨大贡献。因此,联准会将每月碱灰产量资料纳入其经济指标中,以监测美国经济的整体状况。市场依类型分为重质碱灰和碱灰。
碱灰可用于洗衣和清洗配方。透过促进油污的乳化,有助于提高清洗效果。它的用途还包括最大限度地减少洗涤和冲洗过程中的污垢沉积,为清洗目的提供碱度,并帮助软化洗涤水。此外,碱灰作为清洁剂组合物中另一种重要助洗剂即三聚磷酸钠(STPP)的配方成分发挥重要作用。此外,它还用于生产群青,可以增加白色服装类的亮度。根据美国环保署 2022 年报告,2019 年消耗的所有碳酸钠(碱灰)中近 47% 归因于玻璃製造。化学工业约占碳酸钠(碱灰)销售总量的 30%。 2019年国内消费的其余部分由6%的商业市场经销商、6%的肥皂和清洁剂、5%的杂项用途、4%的排烟脱硫、1%的纸浆和造纸以及1%的水处理组成。
2019年,美国非燃料矿产总产量预计达863亿美元,比前一年增加20亿美元。根据2020年报告,美国的各种原料和加工矿物材料仍然依赖外国来源。 2019年,进口占46种非燃料矿产表观消费量的一半以上,其中美国17种100%净进口依赖。 2019年国内重要稀土元素精矿产量大幅增加8,000吨(超过44%),总合达2.6万吨。这使得美国成为中国以外最大的稀土精矿生产国。 2019年,美国金属矿山产值预估为281亿美元,较2018年增加约5亿美元。 2018年金属矿业总产值的主要贡献者是金(32%)、铜(28%)、铁矿石(19%)和锌(7%)。
市场开拓支持市场成长
在北美,碳酸钠(碱灰)市场预计将出现后续成长。
美国是世界上天然碳酸钠(碱灰)矿床的主要来源国,并控制着一些世界上最大的水库。美国拥有庞大的国内碳酸钠(碱灰)供应和分销网络,并在世界製造业中占据主导地位。例如,国内天然碱灰(碳酸钠(碱灰))产量为1,200万吨,较上年增加20%。然而,美国碱灰产业的特点是生产商数量有限、生产地点分散,主要集中在两个地区。怀俄明州有四家公司经营五家工厂,加州则有一家工厂由一家公司管理。
与合成碱灰生产商相比,天然碱灰生产商具有生产成本较低、环境足迹较小的明显优势。合成碱灰的生产过程通常比天然碱灰的生产过程涉及更高的能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。近年来,全球已有多家合成碱灰工厂关闭或停止营运。这为美国天然碱灰製造商扩大市场份额创造了机会。
The global sodium carbonate market is anticipated to grow from US$19.654 billion in 2022, to US$28.647 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.53%.
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.
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.
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.
