China's nitrite and nitrate supply chain is comprehensively upgraded to promote high-quality development of the global chemical industry
—— 2025-08-12 10:26:51 ——
In 2025, a leading Chinese inorganic salt chemical manufacturer announced a comprehensive upgrade of its production, testing, and global supply capabilities for its nitrite and nitrate product lines. This upgrade will significantly enhance the supply stability and international market competitiveness of products such as sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrite, and potassium nitrate.
This initiative not only meets the growing demand for high-quality raw materials in industries such as food processing, dyes, pharmaceuticals, metal surface treatment, fertilizers, and fireworks, but also provides global customers with more efficient, sustainable, and compliant sourcing options.
According to the International Chemicals Market Research (ICIS), the global nitrite and nitrate market is growing at an average annual rate of 4.5% and is expected to exceed US$18 billion by 2030.
Food-grade nitrite: Demand remains stable as a preservative, antioxidant, and colorant, while complying with food safety regulations in various countries.
Industrial-grade nitrate: Widely used in glassmaking, metallurgy, welding, fertilizer production, and the pyrotechnics industry.
Green production trends: Customers are increasingly prioritizing low-energy, low-emission chemical production models.
