    The document summarizes Roskill's 2014 report on the soda ash market outlook to 2018. Some key points: - Global demand for soda ash is expected to increase slowly over the next few years, with most growth located in South America. - The structure of the global soda ash industry will likely change as operations using natural materials like trona gain a lower cost advantage over synthetic methods. - Chinese capacity additions may outpace demand growth, leading to falling prices and profitability globally. - Glass will remain the main end market for soda ash, though increased recycling could reduce demand growth in some regions.

    Soda Ash: Market Outlook to 2018


    Overview
    The 2014 edition of Roskills Soda Ash Market
    Outlook profiles over 50 companies in 37 countries, including all the major and potential producers. The report also evaluates output, international trade, consumption and the trends within these
    areas. The market balance for soda ash is examined
    and factors that influence it are discussed. End uses
    are described and how structural changes within
    these markets are affecting consumption of soda ash.
    The effects of changes in supply and consumption on
    prices are also covered.

    and some soda ash producers are switching to other


    products, notably sodium bicarbonate, in order to remain competitive. Turkish companies have emerged
    as significant suppliers to the Middle East/Europe
    and will become more important in the future. The Indian market is now protected from lower cost imports
    by tariffs and is likely to show lower growth in demand
    as a consequence. The South American market has
    grown markedly in recent years and this is forecast
    to continue.
    The nature of the global soda ash industry is
    changing as operations based on trona and other
    natural materials enjoy a lower cost of production
    than those based on synthetic methods. Rising
    energy costs, particularly in Europe, have led to the
    closure of a number of synthetic plants in the last decade and more may follow. This may lead to greater
    global trade in soda ash and possibly the imposition
    of anti-dumping duties by some countries.

    The global soda ash industry recovered strongly after 2009 but consumption has slowed in recent years
    because of lower than expected economic growth
    in Europe and North America. Chinese consumption continues to rise but the rate of growth has been
    more gentle than forecast because of lower activity
    in the construction sector. The Chinese soda ash
    industry continues to be the largest of any nation
    but faces considerable economic headwinds.
    Capacity continues to open and be planned in China
    at a much higher rate than domestic consumption or
    exports are rising, leading to falling operating rates
    and profitability.

    Glass is the main market for soda ash and will continue to remain so into the future. Increased recycling rates have gradually reduced the rate of growth
    in consumption of soda ash in this market and will
    become more significant in some regions. Markets
    in metal processing and flue gas desulphurisation in
    particular are expected to show strong growth in the
    future.

    In the USA producers are enjoying highly competitive production costs and output is rising to supply
    the export market. European operations face rising
    production costs and stagnant regional consumption,
