Sodium Hydrosulfide Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Form (Liquid, Flakes), By Application (Paper & Pulp, Mining, Tanneries, Chemical Processing, Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Sodium hydrosulfide is a chemical compound obtained as a product in the half neutralization reaction between hydrogen sulfide and sodium hydroxide. It is a yellow solid with the smells similar to H₂S and has the chemical formula NaHS. Sodium hydrosulfide is used as tanning agent in leather industry, flotation agent in copper mining, makeup for sulfur in paper & pulp manufacturing, and water treatment. Sodium hydrosulfide is less toxic compared to sulfur; hence it can be used as a substitute for sulfur. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides, thereby growth in its demand. 

The factor expected to drive the sodium hydrosulfide market is the rise in the need for clean water. Sodium hydrosulfide is one of the compounds used in water treatment and has high demand from countries around the world. Amidst the rise in polluting water sources, the demand for water treatment process has grown which is expected to drive the market. Additionally, high demand for sodium hydrosulfide for paper & pulp manufacturing will support market growth.

High manufacturing cost and complex manufacturing processes for sodium hydrosulfide are expected to limit the market growth of sodium hydrosulfide.
