Sodium Metabisulfite Market Size worth over $496 million by 2025

Sodium Metabisulfite Market size will reach USD 496.6 million by 2025; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Sodium metabisulfite market is witnessing steady growth since the last few years due to its huge acceptance as a preservative in the market. The FDA and European Union has approved the utility of sodium metabisulfite in the food industry as a food additive and is thus forecast to witness higher gains in upcoming years. This consistent growth is also augmented by the rising awareness for effluent water treatment throughout the globe followed by surging demand in leather and textile industry from the Asian countries where the product acts as an auxiliary in bleaching and decalcification process as result of accessibility to premium raw material, economic growth, technological advancements and growing number of industry players will stimulate the market growth.
 

On the other hand, some of the crucial challenges hindering the sodium metabisulfite market growth are health issues associated with the chemical that can cause serious health hazards to human body including skin allergic reactions, dysfunctional gastrointestinal system and other chronic diseases. Moreover, availability of substitute products such as sodium bisulfite, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, L-cysteine, etc. as a preservative might negatively affect market growth.
