Sodium Tetrasulfide Market – Global Industry Report, 2027

Sodium Tetrasulfide Market: Definition

  • Sodium tetrasulfide exists as yellow or brick red crystalline flakes or fused solid mass in its anhydrous state. It also exists as a dark red corrosive alkaline liquid.
  • Sodium tetrasulfide is used as precursor in the manufacture of certain specialty polymers. It is also employed as chemical intermediate in the manufacture of prototypes of sodium-sulfur battery.
  • When exposed to moist air, sodium tetrasulfide is prone to spontaneous heating and may cause fire hazards. It needs to be protected from exposure to light and stored in tightly closed container. It is incompatible with acids, oxidants, aluminum, zinc, carbon, and diazonium salts.

Tanneries Segment Lead the Market

  • Sodium tetrasulfide is used in the production of sulfur dye in the dye industry. It is the raw material of sulfur green and sulfur blue. It is also used as a facilitating agent for dissolving sulfur dye in the printing and dyeing industry.
  • In the tanning industry, sodium tetrasulfide is employed as raw material in the manufacture of leather depilatories to facilitate the process of removal of hair and bristles from cattle skin. It also ensures the removal of other undesirable materials such as non-collagenous proteins, epidermis, and cementing substances from animal hide.
  •  In the form of gel, sodium sulfide is used to soften toenails to assist in trimming of ingrown toenails. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is primarily used in the production of antipyretic drugs such as Phenacetin.
  • Sodium tetrasulfide is employed in water treatment applications as an oxygen scavenging agent and metal precipitant for the removal of heavy metal ions. Sodium tetrasulfide is used in the paper and pulp industry as a pulp cooking agent in the Kraft process to convert wood into wood pulp.

Key Drivers of Sodium Tetrasulfide Market

  • Mirabilite is a hydrous sodium sulfate mineral and a major raw material required in the production of sodium tetrasulfide. China accounts for the largest mirabilite reserves in the world. It is the leading producer of sodium tetrasulfide in the world.
  • China is expected to maintain its dominance in the global sodium tetrasulfide market in the near future. The country is anticipated to continue expanding its production capabilities of sodium tetrasulfide to meet the rising demand across the globe.
  • Low water availability, rapid development of cities, significant rise in population, and technological advancements in water treatment have increased the necessity of water reuse. This is boosting the sodium tetrasulfide market.
  • Sodium tetrasulfide is routinely used in wastewater treatment for the removal of heavy metals ions such as mercury & lead. Thus, growth in the water treatment industry is expected to drive the sodium tetrasulfide market.
  • Increase in demand for water treatment chemicals in power and industrial applications is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period. Various environmental norms and regulations regarding water and wastewater disposal are major factors driving the sodium tetrasulfide market.
  • Rise in usage of sodium tetrasulfide in the pulp and paper industry during Kraft process for cooking of pulp is another factor fueling the market. Sodium tetrasulfide is also used for removal of hair from hides during leather processing and rapid growth of the leather processing industry is expected to create lucrative opportunity for it in tanning industry.

Volatility of Raw Materials Likely to Hamper Market

  • Sodium tetrasulfide are toxic to humans, livestock, and agriculture. The polluting nature of sodium tetrasulfide and implementation of stringent government regulations on the emission of toxic pollutants are estimated to restrain the sodium tetrasulfide market.
  • Sodium tetrasulfide is regarded as an environmentally hazardous chemical, as it emits toxic pollutants such as hydrogen sulfide gas through the dissociation process during downstream operations in the pulp & paper industry. Sulfide rich effluents are also responsible for sewer corrosion and malodors.

Asia Pacific Expected to Hold Large Share of Global Sodium Tetrasulfide Market

  • Asia Pacific dominates the global sodium tetrasulfide market in terms of consumption and revenue. Led by China, India, and Japan, the market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a healthy pace during the forecast period. India generates considerable demand for sodium tetrasulfide. It is used in tanneries to remove hair and bristles from cattle skin. India has a large leather processing industry, which exports leather products across the world. Expansion in the leather industry in India is estimated to drive the demand for sodium tetrasulfide during the forecast period.
  • Rise in population and rapid urbanization in Asia Pacific have led to an increase in generation of wastewater, thereby propelling the demand for sodium tetrasulfide for water treatment in the region
  • Europe has strong leather processing industry, which produces and exports various types of leather from livestock including calves, bovine, goat, and sheep. This leather is used in garment, footwear, and furniture markets. This is propelling the sodium tetrasulfide market in the region, as sodium tetrasulfide is primarily used in leather tanning.
