Growth in glass production across construction, packaging, and solar industries is driving the global soda ash market.
Hyderabad , Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyderabad, India, October 2025 – According to Mordor Intelligence, the global soda ash market is anticipated to expand from USD 19.95 billion in 2025 to USD 23.26 billion by 2030, registering a steady CAGR of 3.12% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific region remains the largest market, supported by strong construction activity, and robust glass production in countries like China and India. On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa are emerging as the fastest-growing regions, propelled by solar glass manufacturing, and rising detergent consumption across developing economies.
The market’s medium concentration indicates a balance between established global producers and emerging regional players, creating competitive opportunities through cost efficiency, technological upgrades, and environmentally sustainable production methods. Increasing focus on low-emission, trona-based processes and strategic capacity expansions are expected to further shape the future of the soda ash market through 2030.
Emerging Trends in Soda Ash Market
Shifting Consumer Preferences Driving Detergent Formulation Changes
Urban consumers favor premium brands and rural markets seek affordability, soda ash remains a key ingredient balancing both needs. Additionally, the move toward eco-friendly and phosphate-free detergents across several regions is further boosting its role in detergent formulations.
Advancing Roles of Sodium-Based Batteries and Heat Storage Systems
New applications in the energy sector are gradually expanding soda ash demand. Sodium-ion battery developers are exploring its use as a core component for next-generation storage systems, while solar power projects are testing carbonate-based thermal storage materials for better efficiency. Although still at an early stage, these technologies show strong potential to become high-value outlets for soda ash, supporting its transition into specialized and sustainable energy applications.
Rising Need for Flat, Packaging, and Solar Glass
Expanding solar installations and the shift toward sustainable construction are reshaping global material demand, increasing the need for high-purity glass. Beverage and pharmaceutical industries continue to favor recyclable glass packaging over plastic, supporting steady container glass growth.
