Press Release
The South Korea market for caustic soda is primarily driven by the significant expansion of the industrial sector. Notably, the paper and pulp industry is experiencing a substantial upswing due to the increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, such as paper-based alternatives to plastic. This necessitates the use of caustic soda in the wood pulping process.
In a similar vein, the soap and detergent industry is benefiting from the increased focus on hygiene among the South Korean population. This trend aligns with the grease-cutting and saponification properties of caustic soda, a key ingredient in many cleaning products.
The critical role of caustic soda in the South Korean textile industry, a major contributor to the nation's economy, further strengthens the South Korea caustic soda market expansion. Caustic soda acts as an essential agent in scouring, mercerising, and dyeing processes, guaranteeing textiles achieve their intended texture, finish, and vibrant colours.
LG Chem Ltd (KRX: 051910), a leading South Korean petrochemical company, is planning a temporary suspension of operations at its caustic soda production line located in Yeosu, South Korea. This scheduled shutdown, slated for February 20, 2024, is part of a routine maintenance programme. With an annual production capacity of 320,000 tons of caustic soda, the impacted line represents a significant portion of LG Chem's total annual capacity of 728,000 tons.
South Korean caustic soda leader, Hanwha Solutions, is currently equipped with an annual production capacity of 840,000 tons. The company has committed an investment of 338 billion won to expand its Yeosu plant by 270,000 tons, bringing its total production capacity to a projected 1.11 million tons by 2025.
