Sodium Sulfite Market 2025-2029

Sodium Sulfite Market Outlook (2025–2029)

The global sodium sulfite market is projected to grow by USD 123.5 million, registering a CAGR of 2.4% from 2024 to 2029.

Growth in the market is primarily driven by increasing demand for sodium sulfite in food packaging applications, especially in China. Its classification as a safe food additive plays a vital role in expanding its use. However, the market is challenged by potential health concerns, including respiratory and allergic reactions, which may lead to tighter regulations and hinder growth.

To address these challenges, businesses must adapt to evolving safety standards and consumer expectations while exploring new applications beyond traditional food packaging. Environmental concerns regarding sodium sulfite's production and disposal also necessitate sustainable manufacturing practices.
