Global sodium carbonate industry share is moderately fragmented, and the major players include
Manufacturers are primarily focusing on establishing production facilities in the vicinity of natural ore deposits to secure their supply of raw materials and achieve competitive advantage.
Leading manufacturers are constantly engaged in various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures to expand their production capacity, expand distribution network or achieve market leadership. For instance, in December 2019, Tata Chemicals, a leading sodium carbonate producer announced the acquisition of the remaining 25% share of its subsidiary Tata Chemicals North America which should allow the company to simplify its business architecture.
Various manufacturers are also expanding their production capacity to meet the growing demand for sodium carbonate. For example, Solvay SA announced plans to increase soda ash production capacity by 600 kilo tons at its manufacturing site in Wyoming, U.S. in September 2019. This capacity expansion should allow the company to maximize its revenue generation, and enhance its market position as a sustainable, long-term supplier of sodium carbonate.
