Sodium Cyanide Market, By Type (Solid Sodium Cyanide and Liquid Sodium Cyanide), By Application (Mining, Chemical Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry and Dyes & Pigments), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2034

Sodium Cyanide Market was valued at US$ 2536.4 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.20% to reach US$ 12602.8 Billion by 2034.

Sodium cyanide is used for fumigation, electroplating, extraction of gold and silver from metals, and chemical manufacturing. Sodium cyanide appears as a white crystalline solid, lumpy solid, or powder. Furthermore, sodium cyanide is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of jewelers, vitamins, adhesives, computer electronics, fire retardants, aircraft brakes, cosmetics, nylon dyes, nail polish removers, paints, plexiglass, pharmaceuticals, rocket propellants, and tea. Thus, several advantages associated with sodium cyanide drive the growth of the global market. A fatal human poison by ingestion. Toxic by skin absorption from open wounds, ingestion and dust inhalation. Sodium cyanide is a toxic compound with the formula NaCN. It is a white, water-soluble solid. Cyanide has a high affinity for metals, which makes this salt highly toxic. Sodium cyanide is known by many different names such as cyanobric, cyanide of sodium, cyanide salt or cyanogen, it is sodium salt as well as a one-carbon compound. It is an inorganic compound, because it is a specific chemical compound that does not have established carbon and hydrogen bonds. The mining and metallurgy segment has maintained its dominance in the market and is poised to generate lucrative growth prospects over the forecast period. Another factor facilitating the growth of sodium cyanide in metals refining is the growing demand for these metals for both commercial and non-commercial applications.

      Expansion of the pharmaceutical industry & high production costs

Rising demand for precious metals, especially gold and silver, coupled with increased emphasis by miners on reducing production costs is the major driver of the sodium cyanide market. Expansion of the pharmaceutical industry is a driving factor for the sodium cyanide market. Additionally, sodium cyanide is widely used in electroplating applications. Thus, the increasing use of gas in electroplating activities has increased the demand for sodium cyanide, which has fueled the growth of the market. However, volatility in raw material prices and high production costs are the major restraints of the market. Cyanide exposure is also acutely toxic to humans, and exposure to high concentrations can cause health problems such as ataxia, hypertension, goiters, and depressed thyroid function. Thus, the harmful effects of cyanide on humans and the environment restrain the market growth to some extent.

Technological advancement

The mining segment accounted for a major market share of 78.8% in 2021, the study found that the chemical in liquid or solid briquette form has been widely used for gold processing. Products are widely accepted as a reagent for the separation of precious metals. The need to improve the quality of gold and silver ores will open new opportunities for sodium cyanide market players.In June 2022, Draslovka eyes base metal leaching prize with MPS glycine technology. Draslowka Holding made its presence felt in the mining chemicals space about a year ago when it announced plans to buy Chemours Co.'s mining solutions business, which has since become North American producers of solid sodium cyanide. In gold, MPS' GlyCat™ process was invented to reduce cyanide consumption while maintaining gold recovery for gold ores from nuisance copper-bearing deposits. GlyCat is designed to dissolve gold and copper in gold/copper ores where glycine is used as a catalyst with cyanide in a cyanide-starved leaching environment.

The Sodium Cyanide Market is segmented based on type, application, and region.

Global Sodium Cyanide Market, By Type

On the basis of type, the Global Sodium Cyanide Market is segmented into Solid Sodium Cyanide and Liquid Sodium Cyanide. Solid sodium cyanide is a colorless salt, whose crystals belong to the cubic crystal system. So, its aqueous solutions are strongly basic due to the presence of cyanide ion. Solid sodium cyanide is used to extract gold from its ore through a process called leaching using sodium cyanide. In this process, the mineral ore is made into a fine powder using industrial machinery.

Global Sodium Cyanide Market, By Application

On the basis of application, the target market is classified into Mining, Chemical Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry and Dyes & Pigments. Sodium cyanide is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, nylon, nail polish remover, paints, pharmaceuticals, rocket propellants, tables, jewelers, adhesives, computer electronics, fire retardants, aircraft brakes, cosmetics, etc

And more. Thus, these multiple benefits and applications associated with sodium cyanide are expected to fuel the growth of the global sodium cyanide market. But therefore, sodium cyanide is mainly used in gold and silver mining, which is only fueling the growth of the market to a great extent.

Regional Insights:
