Sodium Dichromate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Metal Finishing, Pigments, Wood Preservative, Leather Tanning, Others)Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Sodium dichromate is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula Na₂Cr₂O₇. The compound is very similar to potassium dichromate in terms of appearance and reactivity; however, sodium dichromate is highly soluble in water compared to potassium dichromate. The majority of chromium-based materials and compounds are produced from sodium dichromate salt. Sodium dichromate finds its application in wood preservation, leather tanning, paints & coatings, mud drilling, and wax. Due to the color-fastening property of sodium dichromate, it is used as a dye in the textile industry and is also used in the production of ceramic glazes, and colored glasses.

The key market driver for the global sodium dichromate market is the increasing demand for pigments from the textile and construction industry. Sodium dichromate is used as a pigment to impart orange color to fabric and paints and is preferred by the textile and construction industries. Therefore the market is expected to grow during the forecast period. 

Key market restraint for the global sodium dichromate market is the safety issues related to the use of sodium dichromate. The compound is corrosive, and exposure to it can cause severe damage to skin or eye. Sodium dichromate is also carcinogenic, hence its properties to act as a market restraint.
