Global Caustic Potash Market

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Caustic Potash Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2020-2025," the global caustic potash market size reached 2.5 Million Tons in 2019. Caustic potash refers to an alkaline, inorganic compound with the chemical formula KOH. Also known as potassium hydroxide, it is produced by the electrolysis of the brine prepared from potassium chloride and water. It is characterized by its white color and is widely available in the forms of pellets, flakes and powders. It is a potent base that generates heat when dissolved in water or alcohol. It is highly reactive, extremely corrosive and non-flammable at room temperature. Consequently, it is widely used as an industrial chemical across the chemical, industrial and manufacturing segments. It is also utilized as a stabilizer in food applications and as a cleaning agent and sanitizer in wineries for cleaning the biofilms of bacteria and yeast inside the tanks.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
