Market Overview:
The Europe soda ash market is currently witnessing stable growth. Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a white, anhydrous, powdered, or granular substance with the formula Na2CO3. It is an alkali chemical that is refined from the mineral trona or naturally occurring sodium carbonate-bearing brines. Soda ash is used in the manufacturing of glass, detergent chemicals, and other industrial products as an essential raw material.
The Europe soda ash market is primarily driven by a significant rise in glass production due to the increasing construction activities and growing automobile sales across the region. Countries in Western Europe, such as Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, are some of the largest net importers of soda ash. Besides this, soda ash is also used in the wastewater treatment industry due to stringent regulations by the European Union and rising awareness regarding the depletion of natural resources. Moreover, Solvay SA, one of the significant players in the region, is expected to increase its output of soda ash by 500,000 tons/year, primarily across Italy, Bulgaria and Spain by debottlenecking its processes by 2021. Such capacity expansions are anticipated to catalyze the growth of the soda ash market in Europe. Looking forward, the market is expected to continue its stable growth during the forecast period (2020-2025).
