Sodium Lactate Market Report

Market Overview:

The global sodium lactate market size reached US$ 299.8 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 544.6 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.86% during 2024-2032. The rising product applications in the healthcare industry, increasing usage in cosmetics and personal care items, and escalating demand from the food and beverage (F&B) sector represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Sodium lactate is the organic sodium salt of racemic or inactive lactic acid with alkalinizing and electrolyte-replenishing properties. It is obtained by fermentation of a sugar source, such as corn and beets, and then by neutralizing the resulting lactic acid to produce a compound with the formula NaC3H5O3. It appears as a colorless to yellowish substance, which is nearly odorless and has a mild salty taste. It is a hygroscopic agent used intravenously as a systemic and urinary alkalizer. It is also utilized as a food additive and preservative, humectant, bulking agent, and emulsifier. At present, sodium lactate finds extensive applications across numerous industries, including food and beverages (F&B), pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics and personal care.

Sodium Lactate Market Trends:

Due to its excellent antimicrobial and humectant properties, the increasing product usage as a pH regulator and moisturizer in various skin care products, such as soaps, lotions, and shampoos, represents the primary factor driving the market growth. This is further strengthened by the growing consumer awareness regarding personal hygiene, improving living standards, and inflating purchasing power. In addition, there is a rise in the use of sodium lactate in the food industry as a stabilizer and seasoning to prolong the shelf life and improve the flavors of food items, including pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and other meat items. Along with this, the surging product adoption in beverages, such as ready-to-drink (RTD) tea and coffee, carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and syrups, has catalyzed market growth. Furthermore, there has been widespread product adoption as an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine and a nonpyrogenic, sterile, and concentrated solution in injections. In line with this, the rising healthcare applications of sodium lactate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in IV fluids and the dialysis of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) have propelled market growth. Besides this, the growing utilization of sodium lactate as a retarder and water-reducer in concrete and the emerging textile applications as a sequestering agent for numerous heavy metal ions have augmented the product demand. Other factors, including the escalating sales of cosmetics and personal care items, increasing product adoption in leather treatment solutions, and rising applications as an acidity regulator, are also creating a favorable outlook for the market.
