Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Detergents, Cement, Textiles, Metal Surface Treatment, Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is a hydrous form of sodium metasilicate with the chemical formula Na₂SiO₃.5H₂O. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is obtained after high temperature fusion between sodium carbonate and silicon dioxide. It is an odorless white crystal that forms a highly alkaline solution when dissolved in water. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is majorly used as a component in soaps and detergents due to its environment friendly nature, and its ability to increase the cleaning efficiency.

The factors expected to drive the sodium metasilicate pentahydrate market is the increasing demand for cement in developing countries. The rising construction and infrastructural projects in developing countries will increase the consumption of cement in these countries, thereby increasing demand for sodium metasilicate pentahydrate.

Key Market Driver -

Increasing demand for cement from developing countries

Key Market Restraint -

Adverse effects related to the use of sodium metasilicate pentahydrate
