Borax Pentahydrate Market Introduction
Demand for Borax Pentahydrate from 2015 to 2020 Vs. Future Market Projections for 2021-2031
From 2015 to 2020, sales of borax pentahydrate have increased at a stable rate, expanding over 3.6% CAGR.
Borax, also known as sodium borate (Na2B4O7.10H2) and boric acid (H3BO3), is a colorless salt-like substance with a physical appearance of a white powder. Borax and boric acid have many legal uses and are widely used in the manufacture of detergents, water softeners and weak preservatives. Borax pentahydrate is widely used in glass and ceramic industries owing to its inherent properties. Their water content distinguishes borax in the following compounds:
- Anhydrous borax or sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7)
- Borax pentahydrate (Na2B4O7·5H2O)
- Borax decahydrate (Na2B4O7·10H2O)
Global Borax Pentahydrate Market Revenue Outlook:
The global borax pentahydrate market was valued at over US$ 654.9 Mn in 2020 and is projected to register а САGR approximately to 3.6% by 2031.
Increasing demand for powerful laundry detergents amidst the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the target market growth positively. Borax pentahydrate is mainly consumed for glasses and fiberglass applications, but some are also used in industries, including agriculture, chemical, engineering, infrastructure, automotive, and electronics. In addition, borax pentahydrate is an excellent choice for cleaning metal surfaces and various other metal operations owing to its mild or moderate abrasive properties, anti-corrosive, and water-softening capabilities.
