This combination is commonly used in the commercial production of wine.

Market Dynamics:

Growing investments is estimated to augment growth of the global sodium metabisulfite market during the forecast period. For instance, Chemical supplier Hydrite has decided to invest $21M in a project at their Waterloo, IA manufacturing facility in March 2022. This new project will be creating 20 new positions, this will increase Waterloo facility’s headcount to 158 workers. Moreover, increasing toxic effects of sodium metabisulfite on human health is anticipated to restrain growth of the global sodium metabisulfite market during the forecast period.

 

Impact of COVID-19:

The pandemic had a negative impact on the economy globally. Several business lines were impacted owing to the pandemic. Strict measures were taken by several governments across the world, in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Manufacturing units were shut down owing to unavailability of raw materials and shortage of labor. The production of non-essential items was halted, this led to decrease in demand of sodium metabisulfite. The growth of the food and beverage industry was also hampered due to the pandemic. Thus, the pandemic hindered growth of the global sodium metabisulfite market.
