Global Sodium Methoxide Market: Overview

Sodium methylate is also referred to as sodium methoxide. It is a versatile catalyst and chemical reagent. It appears as a white amorphous powder that is prepared by deprotonation of methanol. It is utilized as a reagent in laboratories and industries. Sodium methoxide effectively reacts with water, methyl alcohol and sodium hydroxide. Sodium methoxide also acts as a catalyst in the preparation of biodiesel. It is sold in both liquid and solid form. Sodium methylate reacts with oxygen and thereby it is essential to avoid its contact with oxygen. Sodium methylate is effectively soluble in alcohol like ethanol and methanol. On the other hand, it is insoluble in benzene and toluene. The major advantage associated with sodium methylate is its virtually water-free nature of catalyst solution that requires less purification cost and offers high biodiesel quality along with high yield. Sodium methoxide is largely extracted from methanol and sodium chloride in an electrolytic process with the help of inert gases.

Global Sodium Methoxide Market: Growth Factors

The global sodium methoxide market is highly influenced by its growing demand from a wide range of applications particularly in the agriculture & pharmaceutical sector and also during the organic synthesis of different products. There is surging demand for sodium methoxide as a catalyst in the preparation of synthetic detergents, grease, and edible oil processing. However, the growth in the production of biodiesel poses a huge demand for sodium methylate. In addition, mercury is found in the solution of sodium methylate which leads to product contamination during the manufacturing process. Therefore, manufacturers are emphasizing innovating alternative manufacturing methods with the help of distinct raw materials to eliminate the presence of mercury, thereby significantly scaling the adoption of sodium methylate.

The growing need for lowering the carbon emission in the transportation sector owing to the increasing awareness among people regarding global warming and Paris climate change objectives are some of the key factors fuelling the growth of the global sodium methoxide market. The surging scope of the automotive sector in developing regions, particularly the Asia Pacific is likely to drive the demand for biodiesel. In addition, the growing government initiatives for the production of biodiesel are likely to create several lucrative growth opportunities in the global sodium methoxide market in the forthcoming years. The excessive utilization of sodium methylate in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector is likely to further complement the market growth. Market players are investing heavily in research and development activities in order to launch innovative products in the market to widen the scope of their usage.
