Potassium Sulfite Price Trend for Q1 of 2024

Potassium sulfite prices were found to be fluctuating throughout the first quarter of the year 2024. The market trend was closely linked with the fluctuations in the feedstock potassium hydroxide and sulphurous oxide markets. The market-driving factors provided both upward and downward pushes to the prices. However, the reduced demand from the chemical, industrial, and pharmaceutical sectors kept the downstream sector at bay.

In Asia, notably China and India, domestic consumption was sustaining the potassium sulfite market because international trade was struggling throughout the said time period. Therefore, the domestic inventories were facing a little burden with consistently accumulating stocks. This was influenced by geopolitical uncertainties affecting global trade.

Further, the upswing in production costs was influenced by the surge in crude oil and energy prices. Raw material costs too spurred up momentarily in the Asian markets. Therefore, the price trajectory was also very mixed here. These market scenarios also affected potassium sulfite prices in Europe as well. Amidst the ongoing geopolitical scuffles, the trade between Asia and Europe, which is primarily facilitated through the Suez Canal saw a significant decline. Overall, a varying price pattern was observed for potassium sulfite during the given span of Q1’24.

Potassium Sulfite Production Process

  • Potassium Sulfite Production by sulfonation reaction.

The preparation of potassium sulfite is initiated by the reactions between sulfurous acid and potassium hydroxide solution. Initially, sulfur dioxide is reacted with water to form sulfurous acid, which serves as the sulfonating agent. Sulfurous acid is further reacted with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution that leads to the sulfonation of potassium hydroxide and produces potassium sulfite as the final product.
