Factors that Affect the Sodium Hydroxide Price
Chlorine Price
Almost all Caustic Soda in the world is produced by a chemical process called the chlor-alkali process.
In this process the NaCl is converted to Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) and Chlorine.
Both main products of the chlor-alkali process ( i.e. Caustic Soda and Chlorine) are widely used in industries and have a similar production volume . Generally, the production volume of Caustic Soda is slightly more than Chlorine.
Chlorine determines the amount of chlor-alkali production rate. Many believe that despite the same volume of production, Chlorine is the primary product of the chlor-alkali process, while Caustic Soda is a by-product.
Therefore, the Chlorine market determines the amount of production in the chlor-alkali industry. It can be stated that the Chlorine price is the primary factor determining the price of Caustic Soda.
Caustic Soda Seasonality
Seasonal demand also has an effect on the Caustic Soda price.
Caustic soda is widely used in agricultural industries. The harvest season for agricultural products is a significant factor influencing the price of this product.
September, October, and November are the harvest months in the Northern Hemisphere, while March, April, and May are the harvest months in the Southern Hemisphere.
Thus, demand for Caustic Soda will increase in regions with big agricultural sectors over these six months. As a result of increased demand, the caustic soda price will also increase.
Additionally, the demand for detergents and soaps (as one of the primary applications for Caustic Soda) has a seasonal dynamic which means in some seasons the demand is more than other seasons.
Historically, the demand for detergents rises from September to May, and in this period, the price of sodium hydroxide increases due to the production growth of detergents.
Based on the overlap of the two factors discussed, it can be concluded that the price of caustic soda has a seasonal rise every year between September and May.
