Global and European Sodium Bisulfite Market Outlook 2025–2035
Industrial Grade will dominate with a 69.0% market share, while water treatment will lead the end-use industry segment with a 42.9% share.
NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global sodium bisulfite market is projected to expand from USD 0.8 billion in 2025 to USD 1.2 billion by 2035, registering a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%, according to validated insights from Future Market Insights (FMI), a leading source of market intelligence across polymers, composites, and chemical intermediates. The market is expected to grow by approximately 1.5 times during the forecast period, driven by rising demand for dechlorination, wastewater management, and industrial water treatment solutions.
FMI’s latest analysis identifies key factors shaping growth, including increased investment in water infrastructure, adoption of zero liquid discharge systems, and the development of high-purity chemical formulations for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. However, the market may face headwinds from regulatory handling requirements for sulfite compounds and fluctuations in raw material supply chains.
Market Dynamics and Regional Outlook
Between 2025 and 2030, the market is anticipated to increase from USD 0.8 billion to nearly USD 1.0 billion, contributing 45.1% of the decade’s growth. This period will be characterized by robust adoption of sodium bisulfite for municipal and industrial water treatment, pulp and paper production, and food and beverage processing. Competitive dynamics will focus on production capacity expansion, distribution network enhancement, and strategic penetration into key sectors.

From 2030 to 2035, the market is expected to reach USD 1.2 billion, adding USD 0.2 billion in value, or nearly 54.9% of total expansion. Specialized formulations designed for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications, along with partnerships between chemical producers and end-user industries, will drive demand. Increasing industrial water quality standards and sustainable manufacturing initiatives will further enhance market adoption globally.
By Grade and Application
The industrial grade segment dominates the market, accounting for approximately 69% of total market share in 2025. Industrial formulations are extensively used in water treatment, chemical processing, pulp and paper, and textile industries due to their technical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Food-grade (18%) and pharmaceutical-grade (13%) segments serve regulated markets requiring high-purity formulations for safe consumer and pharmaceutical use.
In terms of end-use industries, water treatment applications lead the market with 42.9% share, reflecting the critical role of sodium bisulfite in municipal dechlorination, industrial wastewater systems, and boiler water conditioning. Pulp & paper accounts for 17% of consumption, food & beverages 16%, textiles 14%, pharmaceuticals 7%, and other applications 3.1%. Expansion in these sectors is supported by regulatory mandates for wastewater treatment and water quality management.
Regional Growth Insights
Asia-Pacific (APAC): India and China are leading growth markets, posting CAGRs of 5.5% and 5.1% respectively. India’s growth is fueled by urban water reuse projects, industrial zero liquid discharge adoption, and municipal infrastructure investments, particularly in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. China’s expansion is driven by stringent wastewater norms, textile and pulp industry demand, and government-backed environmental initiatives across Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hebei.
Europe: Western Europe dominates, led by Germany (22% of regional consumption), driven by strict industrial water standards and pulp & paper applications. The United Kingdom (14%) and France (13%) are guided by municipal dechlorination and food processing needs, while Italy (12%) and Spain (10%) focus on food preservation and industrial water treatment. Central & Eastern Europe, including Poland, Czechia, and the Baltics, is seeing steady growth through wastewater infrastructure upgrades. Germany’s industrial chemical sector and Japan’s precision manufacturing applications illustrate high-purity formulation adoption.
USA: The United States market exhibits stable growth at a CAGR of 3.3%, underpinned by aging municipal water treatment infrastructure and industrial wastewater management systems. Leading regions such as California, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are retrofitting dechlorination systems to meet strict EPA and OSHA compliance standards.
Saudi Arabia and Middle East & Africa: South Africa’s CAGR is projected at 4.6%, driven by municipal water treatment facility upgrades and mining industry adoption. In the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, industrial water management and environmental compliance initiatives are supporting moderate market growth.
