Sodium Hypophosphite Market Analysis 2020-2027:

Sodium hypophosphite is a compound, which has the tendency to absorb moisture and is a smooth solvent in nature. It is used as a reducing agent in electroplating with properties such as corrosive free, strength, and heat resistant. Therefore, its properties increase its use in automotive, aviation, and electronics industries. In addition, it also has certain usage in chemical and polymer industries as it can act as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Moreover, it has application in pharmaceuticals and ceramic industries as it soluble in organic and inorganic solvents. Asia-Pacific is the largest contributor to the market due to increased industrialization and urbanization in the region. 

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario:

• As economies around the world are facing the brunt of COVID-19, industries are being adversely affected. 
• To contain the spread of the virus by formulating suitable drug, the pharmaceutical industry is booming. This can complement the demand for sodium hypophosphite as it finds extensive application in the pharmaceutical industry. 
• The demand for sodium hypophosphite witnessed downward curve in applications such as chemicals, construction, and others. These industries are essentially non-operational at the moment.

Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis:

The Asia-Pacific region consisting of countries, such as China and India, are the largest contributors to the sodium hypophosphite market due to growth in the automotive and electronics industry. The U.S., India, and South Korea are predicted to witness increase in consumption of sodium hypophosphite over the forecast period due to expansion in the construction sector. North America is the second largest shareholder of the sodium hypophosphite market after APAC. The demand for certain chemical compounds, derivatives, fire retardants increases the consumption in this region, leading to the growth of the market value. Europe ranks third in the sodium hypophosphite market share due to increase in demand for electroplating in this region. The Middle East and Latin America are also predicted to witness increase in demand for the product over the forecast period. 

Sodium hypophosphite can act as a reducing agent, catalyst, and stabilizer, makes it an important asset for the automotive and electronics industries. In electrical parts, sodium hypophosphite is used for electroless nickel plating, which makes it an ideal choice in the automotive industry. Attributed to this property, these industries are rapidly contributing to the market value of sodium hypophosphite. In addition, due to increase in industrialization, a large amount of waste is discharged in the nearby water bodies, leading to environmental and human health concerns. Therefore, sodium hypophosphite acts as a reducing agent and helps in recovery of nickel, copper, and iron from the waste. 

The sodium hypophosphite market is expected to witness decrease in usage in the Europe region due to stringent rules regarding environmental health. Market players of sodium hypophosphite are turning toward the approach of forward integration. This strategy is being adopted in response to the increase in demand for sodium hypophosphite and to enhance their hold over the international market.
