Sodium Tetraborate Market to Grow at CAGR of 2.65% through 2035

Growing adoption in pharmaceutical and personal care products and rising use of sodium tetraborate in agriculture for soil enrichment is expected to drive the Global Sodium Tetraborate Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2035.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Sodium Tetraborate Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2035F”, the Global Sodium Tetraborate Market stood at 2009.15 Thousand Tonnes and is expected to reach 2667.65 Thousand Tonnes by 2035 with a CAGR of 2.65% during the forecast period.

The adoption of sodium tetraborate as a fire-retardant agent is increasing due to its effectiveness in enhancing the flame resistance and heat tolerance of various materials. Sodium tetraborate, often known as borax, is used extensively in the formulation of fireproof coatings, insulation materials, and treated textiles, where it plays a vital role in reducing the risk of fire hazards. By chemically altering the composition of the treated materials, sodium tetraborate forms a protective barrier that delays ignition and inhibits the spread of flames. This makes it an essential component in industries where fire safety is paramount, including construction, transportation, and textiles.

The rising number of fire-related accidents across the globe has prompted governments and regulatory bodies to enforce more stringent fire safety standards in both public and private sectors. New regulations are compelling construction companies to incorporate fire-resistant building materials into new structures. Sodium tetraborate has proven particularly effective in improving the fire resistance of wood, plastics, and fabrics, which are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. When applied to these materials, sodium tetraborate significantly reduces the flammability, making buildings safer in case of fire.

In addition to the construction industry, sectors like aviation, automotive, and defense are increasingly relying on sodium tetraborate-based flame retardants for textile treatments. Aircraft interiors, military uniforms, and fire-resistant protective gear are now commonly treated with sodium tetraborate to meet safety standards. As the global demand for fire-safe products grows, sodium tetraborate’s role in improving fire protection continues to expand. The growing emphasis on compliance with fire safety regulations and increased awareness of fire risks in various industries are driving market growth for sodium tetraborate in fire retardant applications.

The Global Sodium Tetraborate Market is segmented into end-use, sales channel, regional distribution, and company.

Based on the End-Use, The detergent industry dominates the Global Sodium Tetraborate Market, primarily due to its extensive use in laundry and household cleaning products. Sodium tetraborate, commonly known as borax, serves as a key ingredient in detergents due to its superior cleaning, stain-removal, and water-softening properties. It enhances the effectiveness of surfactants, stabilizes enzymes, and prevents dirt from redepositing on fabrics. Additionally, its ability to maintain pH balance and act as an antimicrobial agent makes it indispensable in detergent formulations.

The increasing demand for eco-friendly and phosphate-free detergents has further driven the adoption of sodium tetraborate as a substitute. Many detergent manufacturers prefer borax due to its biodegradability, low toxicity, and cost-effectiveness compared to synthetic alternatives. Growth in urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and increased awareness of hygiene have also fueled detergent consumption worldwide, particularly in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil. While Personal care products use it as a pH adjuster and preservative, while agrochemicals rely on borax for micronutrient formulations. However, stringent regulations on boron compounds in cosmetics and agriculture limit their market share. Given the widespread applications and continued demand for efficient cleaning solutions, the detergent segment is expected to maintain its dominance in the Global Sodium Tetraborate Market in the foreseeable future.

Based on region, North America hold the position as the second most dominating region in the Global Sodium Tetraborate Market, driven by its well-established industrial base and significant consumption of sodium tetraborate across multiple sectors. The United States is a key contributor, with major borate reserves and a strong presence of leading sodium tetraborate manufacturers. The region’s demand is primarily fueled by the growing usage of boron-based compounds in detergents, pharmaceuticals, glass manufacturing, and agrochemicals.

The increasing emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly cleaning products has bolstered the adoption of borate-based detergents in North America. With strict environmental regulations limiting the use of phosphates in cleaning agents, sodium tetraborate has emerged as a preferred alternative due to its non-toxic and biodegradable nature. Additionally, the expanding pharmaceutical industry in the region utilizes sodium tetraborate in medicinal formulations, antiseptics, and cosmetics, further driving market growth. North America also has a robust agricultural sector, particularly in the United States and Canada, where boron-based fertilizers are widely used to enhance soil fertility and improve crop yields. Rising awareness regarding micronutrient deficiencies and government initiatives promoting efficient fertilizer usage are strengthening demand in the agrochemical segment. Furthermore, the presence of advanced research and development facilities in North America has led to innovation in boron-based applications, supporting market expansion.
