Sodium Chlorite to Offer Superior Antimicrobial and Disinfectant Properties

Sodium chlorite is a chemical compound that offers effective disinfectant and antimicrobial properties that can purify water to the maximum level. Thus, growing necessity for pure drinkable water to avoid health issues is anticipated to propel the demand for sodium chlorite. Major application-variants of sodium chlorite are antimicrobial agent, bleaching agent, and disinfectant.



New Oral Rinse to Fresh Breath and Healthy Gums

In the coming years, the bleaching agent segment is likely to account for the maximum revenue share owing to high demand from food processing industry. Use of sodium chlorite as antimicrobial agent can increase the shelf life of packed food. Considering the rising demand, most manufacturing companies are introducing new and innovative sodium chlorite-based products. For instance, a U.K. based organization named The Breathe Company recently introduced a new gluten-free and vegan oral rinse for healthy gums. The product contains actives that promote gum health. These actives can alleviate formation of biofilm and kill germs.

Market Insights

The global sodium chlorite market is likely to reach at USD 256.4 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing adoption of sodium chlorite as an anti-microbial agent and disinfectant in operation theatres, critical care units, and waiting rooms is anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period (from 2018 to 2025). In addition, growing use of the product as an insecticide and healing agent is also estimated to drive the growth of this market in the coming years.

Rise in demand for chlorine dioxide, which is derived from sodium chlorite, for the treatment of impure water to make it drinkable would also stimulate the market development in the next few years. Some of the prominent companies operating in the global market for sodium chlorite are Occidental Petroleum Corporation; ERCO Worldwide, Inc.; ABI Chemicals, LLC; E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company; and American Elements.
