The global sodium alginates market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 4% in the forecast period of 2024-2032. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the usage of sodium alginate as an emulsifier and thickener in food and pharmaceutical industries.

The growing demand for technical grade sodium alginate, especially from the textile, pulp and paper industries, is propelling the industry forward. Sodium alginate is a key ingredient in the textile industry, and it is used in various processes like warp sizing and dyeing pastes. The textile industry is driving the demand for sodium alginate because of the increased demand for bio-based fibres and the favourable chemical properties of sodium alginate, which are superior to starch. Furthermore, in the forecast period, rapid technological breakthroughs and expanding research and development efforts are expected to help in market expansion.

In the forecast period, Europe is expected to provide significant growth opportunities to the sodium alginates industry. The region’s thriving textile industry, which accounts for a large part of the global textile industry, is responsible for the expansion. Due to increased product demand from numerous end-use industries, particularly textiles, the region is expected to remain an attractive market for manufacturers and distributors. The textile, printing, and dyeing industries are emerging as significant consumers of the product, whereas food-grade sodium alginates are being impeded by strict safety rules regarding their use in food and pharmaceutical applications. Due to the increased demand for sodium alginates in emerging economies such as India and China, the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow significantly. The region's product demand is being boosted by low raw material costs, a developing textile industry, and the burgeoning food and pharmaceutical sectors.
