Global Caustic Potash demand stood at around 2.8 million tonnes as of 2021, and the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4% by 2035.
Caustic Potash, chemically referred to as Potassium Hydroxide (KOH), is an inorganic compound, that is available in several forms including pellets, flakes, crystals, powder, and aqueous. Caustic Potash appears to be white, clear colourless liquid or slightly yellow lumps, possessing strong base (alkali), corrosive to metals and tissue, and found to be non-combustible and get dissolves easily in water with discharge of heat. Generally, KOH is manufactured by the electrolysis of a potassium chloride (KCl) solution by using membrane electrolytic cells process.
Caustic Potash has gained traction in various grades including food grade, automotive, pharmaceutical grade, agricultural grade, technical grade, etc. Potassium Hydroxide possess a wide range of applications such as fertilizer production, soaps and detergents, potassium chemical industries, alkaline battery manufacturing, potassium phosphate chemicals, etc. KOH is also essential in petroleum refining, runway de-icing and useful in pH balancing. KOH is utilized as dehydrating agent for drying gases, lubricant in the extrusion pressing of high melting alloys, methylating agent, alkaline builder in detergent formulations, etc. In agricultural sector, KOH-based fertilizer is extensively used to improve drought tolerance of the crops, crop yield and enhance the productivity. In food industry, Caustic Potash act as a food thickening, food additives and pH control agent. The FDA considers it to be risk-free product due to which it is used in the chocolate and pharmaceutical industry. In addition, KOH is a versatile cleaning agent used in the formulation of personal care products such as liquid lotions, soaps, hairsprays, and shampoos, and as a strong base, it reacts with grease, making it a useful ingredient in drain and oven cleaners as well as in non-phosphate detergents. Due to these factors Caustic Potash demand is anticipated to rise in the market, globally.
Due to global pandemic COVID-19, demand of Caustic Potash decreased as the chlorine derivative demand has limited the supply of caustic soda, a by-product of chlorine. By imposing countrywide lockdowns and social distancing norms by government authority, which led to the decline of sales and demand. However, the market is expected to recover and pick up.
