Global Sodium Formate Market Is Predicted to Grow Around USD 674 Million By 2030

The global sodium formate market size was worth around USD 431 Million in 2022 and is predicted to grow to around USD 674 Million by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 5.12% between 2023 and 2030.

Sodium formate is a white crystalline compound that is steadily witnessing high demand in certain end-user verticals and is progressing toward becoming a significant contributor in the global chemical & petrochemical sector. The compound has wide applications in industries such as agriculture, food, and leather processing. Sodium formate is the sodium salt of formic acid and its chemical formula is HCOONa.

The sodium formate industry refers to the production, storage, transportation, and distribution of sodium formate which is primarily produced by the reaction of sodium hydroxide with formic acid or its esters. Some of the most common applications of HCOONa include its use as a buffering agent in the textile and dyeing industry, a de-icing agent, and a preservative in animal feed. In the coming years, as the demand for the end products increases, the industry may also register high revenue.

The global sodium formate market is projected to grow owing to the increasing application of the compound in the rising leather industry where it is used as a pickling and tanning agent. With the increase in the demand for leather objects and products such as footwear, bags, and belts, the requirement for large amounts of sodium formate is likely to witness tremendous growth. Some of the biggest fashion houses in the world deal with exclusive leather-based products that are worth millions of dollars and this segment as a consumer group has only increased in recent times.

Additionally, the growing application of sodium formate in the oil & gas industry is crucial to the industry expansion. In this field, sodium formate is used as a drilling fluid additive. The growing demand for energy for industrial, residential, and commercial purposes has led to heavy investments being directed toward the oil & gas sector. Several countries have amped up their respective oil drilling activities to meet the requirements of their population leading to higher consumption of sodium formate. Moreover, factors such as increasing production of formic acid and rising demand for biofuels or bioplastics could work in the favor of the industry.

The sodium formate industry  also deals with several growth restraints. One of the primary limitations is in terms of the increasingly stringent environmental regulations that sodium formate is subjected to. As the world focuses on environmental sustainability, the regulations surrounding the disposal of chemical products are likely to cause a loss of revenue. Furthermore, the severe volatility of raw materials used for the production of sodium formate could add more problems for the industry players. Some of the essential raw materials required during the production are sodium hydroxide and formic acid and they are highly price-sensitive. The increasing availability of alternatives in the end-user verticals further restricts market expansion.

The increasing use in the production of bio-based products could provide growth opportunities while the strict guidelines may challenge market growth.

The global sodium formate market is segmented based on application, industry verticals, and region.

Based on application, the global market segments are food additives, reducing agents, chemical intermediates, de-icing agents, and catalysts. In 2022, the industry registered the highest growth in the catalysts segment and it held dominance over 27.4% of the global market revenue. During the forecast period, it may grow at a CAGR of 4.6%. The most common application of sodium formate as a catalyst is in the production of organic compounds which helps to increase the rate of the chemical reaction. Additionally, the food additive segment remained the second largest shareholder in the segment where sodium formate is used to preserve food production for a longer period. With the rise in the food products sector, the demand for sodium formate is likely to continue growing.

Based on industry verticals, the global sodium formate industry players are textile, aviation, chemical, printing, oil & gas, and food & beverage. The highest consumers of sodium are formate in the food & beverage sector. In 2022, the industry amassed more than 25.1% of the total revenue. During the forecast period, sodium formate is likely to become a preferred choice in terms of feed acidifying ingredients. Additionally, since sodium formate is highly effective in preserving organic food products, its application in the F&B sector is expected to continue growing. The expansion in the aviation sector could be triggered by the rising discard of de-icing agents such as acetates and urea and a higher inclination toward format-based agents. This segment could grow at a CAGR of 5.9%.

The global sodium formate market is projected to register the highest CAGR in the Asia-Pacific market. China and India are anticipated to become the driving force in the regional expansion. China currently dominates the world’s chemical sector. Additionally, the presence of key market players in the Chinese province and its high rate of foreign expansion plans could lead to higher growth in the region. In India, sectors such as food & beverages and textile are the leading driving force. With the growing population of the country, the demand for food products in India is higher than ever. Alongside, the country is witnessing a large influx of foreign players planning to tap the potential of the Indian market in the F&B sector. In North America, the demand for sodium formate is likely to be propelled by the increasing use of sodium formate as a de-icing agent along with its application in animal feed products.
