“According to a new report published by Introspective Market Research, Anhydrous Borax Market by Application, End-Use Industry, and Distribution Channel, The Global Anhydrous Borax Market Size Was Valued at USD 1.49 Billion in 2024 and is Projected to Reach USD 2.30 Billion by 2032, Growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025–2032.”

The Anhydrous Borax Market plays a vital role across multiple industrial applications due to its excellent buffering, cleaning, and fluxing properties. Anhydrous borax, a dehydrated form of sodium borate, is widely used in glass and ceramics manufacturing, metallurgy, detergents, agriculture, and chemical processing. Its high thermal stability and superior performance compared to hydrated alternatives make it a preferred choice in high-temperature and precision applications.

Growing industrialization, especially in emerging economies, has significantly boosted the demand for anhydrous borax in glass fiber production, ceramic glazing, and metal fluxing. Additionally, its use in detergents and cleaning products as a water softener and pH regulator continues to support steady market growth.

Over the forecast period, technological advancements in manufacturing processes and rising demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive, and agriculture are expected to positively influence the global anhydrous borax market, driving consistent expansion through 2032.
