Australia Soda Ash Market Synopsis
The growth of Australia’s soda ash market before the COVID-19 outbreak was driven by an increasing glass industry growth, as well as the rise in the number of construction projects across the country, resulting in a higher demand for soda ash. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 hurt market revenues. As per the government guidelines the glass industry had to stop production as the pandemic began, subsequently, construction services were closed which led to a plunge in demand for soda ash in the market. However, over the next five years, spanning from 2023 to 2028, approximately $410 billion has been allocated to planned infrastructure projects. Notably, $319 billion of this funding is earmarked for privately funded initiatives, including non-residential and residential building activities. The escalating investment in the construction sector is poised to significantly drive the demand for soda ash. This increased demand is expected to be particularly notable in the manufacturing of building materials, and the glass industry, fostering the Australia Soda Ash Market Growth.
According to this research, Australia Soda Ash Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2023-2029. The Australia soda ash industry is poised for continued expansion in the coming years, driven by the nation's plans to undertake numerous construction projects in the transportation, commercial, and residential sectors. Some of the prominent projects such as the $608 million Queen Street Office Tower, and the $3.5 billion Western Sydney Airport are expected to contribute approximately 30% of the demand generation of soda ash during the forecast period. The Australian government has unveiled the 2021 Australian Infrastructure Plan, outlining a visionary roadmap for the country's infrastructure development until 2036 aiming to improve the overall quality of life for Australians through infrastructure resilience which is anticipated to spur the growth of the construction sector. The burgeoning infrastructure development is expected to heighten the demand for glass products, including windows and architectural glass which in turn would drive the demand for soda ash, an essential raw material in the production of glass. These factors are propelling the Australia Soda Ash Market Share.
Market Segmentation by Type
The soda ash from natural sources requires less energy to produce and has fewer contaminants. These advantages are driving the industry's demand, in particular - glass manufacturing, the purity of soda ash is crucial, and natural soda ash is preferred to ensure high-quality end products. Thus, owing to the robust glass industry in Australia it is anticipated the market for natural soda ash is expected to garner the highest growth rate during the forecast period.
Market Segmentation by End User
Glass emerged as the dominant segment in soda ash market in Australia in 2022, capturing the highest revenue share. This can be attributed to its action as a fluxing agent, helping to lower the melting point of the raw materials used in glass production. Moreover, the construction industry growing on the back of residential and commercial real estate sectors growth such as 480 Swan Street Office Development - $330m investment, and Jam Factory 2025 is poised to fuel further demand for glass products such as window panels, facades and others.
