Overview:

Sodium Chlorite is a white and odorless powder that is used to produce chlorine dioxide. This chlorine dioxide mainly finds application in textiles, bleaching, and pulp along with water purification. One of the main property of chlorine dioxide is its destruction capability of specific pathogenic bacteria while at the same time being useful for intestinal bacteria. Sodium chlorite is inflammable in its pure form releases oxygen during its decomposition and reacts in the presence of substances which are flammable. As per solubility properties, sodium chlorite completely dissolves in water while it partially dissolves in ethanol and methanol. Sodium chlorite are mainly used in industries, municipal bodies and hospitals for water disinfection, weed control, bleaching agent etc. Sodium chlorite is added with zinc chloride which makes it useful for mouthwash, toothpaste and for some clinical purposes like preservative in eye drops. 

Key drivers propelling the growth of sodium chlorite market are high demand of sodium chlorite from pulp industry, usage of sodium chlorite for antimicrobial agent in operation theatres coupled with usage of sodium chlorite for water purification. Moreover, increase in urban population which increases sodium chlorite usage due to water purification coupled with sodium chlorite effectiveness against preventing the progression of lateral sclerosis disease are few more important factor boosting the sodium chlorite market. Demand for sodium chlorite from various industries such as food and beverages, synthetic ad cotton fabrics, along with pest control manufacturing units also contributing to the overall growth of sodium chlorite market. However, availability of alternatives such as ozone and hydrogen peroxide used for pulp bleaching is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Also, increasing cost of raw material combined with competitive price standards are most likely to affect the profit margins of the players in the industry.

By type, global sodium chlorite market is subdivided into liquid and solid form while textile, disinfectant, antimicrobial agent, bleaching agent, and others are its applications. Use of antimicrobial agent is mainly driven by food processing industry while bleaching agents finds use in paper and pulp industry industries due to its oxidizing properties.  By end-use, sodium chlorite market is segmented into water treatment, paper, medical, and textile. In 2017, water treatment held the largest market share mainly due to shift in consumer preference from traditional chlorine to sodium chlorite for water treatment.  

By geography, global sodium chlorite market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia- Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific leads the market and is anticipated to continue to be the market leader in the upcoming years mainly owing to high demand for sodium chlorite from paper and pulp application in this region. North America, Europe and MEA are forecasted to be relatively sluggish primarily due to decline in paper and pulp industry in the region.
