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 are widely used in industries and have a similar production volume. Generally, the production volume of Caustic Soda is slightly more than Chlorine. However chlorine market determines the amount of its 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 is widely used in agricultural and detergents industries. September to November are the harvest months in the Northern Hemisphere, while March to May are the harvest months in the Southern Hemisphere. As a result of increased demand in harvest months, the caustic soda price will increase. Additionally, 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.

As you can see in the caustic soda price chart at the top of the page, by analyzing the caustic soda price history, there is a seasonal increase between September and May each year. The reason is the increased caustic soda demand in agricultural and detergents industries. Other key factors influencing on caustic soda market are increasing demand for lightweight materials like aluminum, rapid expansion in the pulp and paper industry, and the significant growth of water treatment services.
