Sodium Sulfide Market to hit $665mn by 2024 Sodium Sulfide Market | Page 2

In 2017, U.S. sodium sulfide market size from water treatment applications
surpassed USD 3.5 million. Enhanced wastewater treatment technologies along with
rising population have influenced the country to significantly increase its water reuse
targets. The product is moderately soluble in water compared to other insoluble
compounds such as oxides or fluorides and precipitates out heavy metal
contaminants, which increases the product’s suitability as a reagent in wastewater
treatment.
Germany sodium sulfide market demand from chemical processing applications may
exhibit growth above 5% by 2024. The product has various chemical applications
such as conducting sulfomethylation & sulfonization in the rubber industry, and
manufacture of sulfur dyes for use in the textile industry. Moreover, it is widely used
to manufacture pharmaceutical chemicals, sodium hydrosulfide and sodium
thiosulfate for chemical and medical applications which may accelerate market
growth.
Na2S market size with respect to textile industry applications should surpass USD
50 million till 2024. The product serves as a bleaching agent for de-sulfurizing and as
a dechlorinating agent. Moreover, the product offers the ability to reduce negative
charges on fibers and ensures even dye penetration which could further increase
product demand.
