According to China Chemical News, the 2025 China International Soda Ash Conference, hosted by the China Soda Ash Industry Association, recently convened in Chengdu. Experts unanimously agreed that the global soda ash industry is currently undergoing a critical phase of green transformation, technological iteration, and structural realignment. Chinese soda ash enterprises should closely monitor policy directions, formulate proactive strategies, and cultivate new growth drivers through measures such as optimizing production capacity utilization, adjusting product portfolios, and expanding into emerging markets. This approach will foster a healthy market ecosystem and open cooperation models to advance the sustainable development of the soda ash industry.

Currently, the synthetic soda-ash process still accounts for over 70% of China's total soda-ash production capacity. With the continuous discovery of natural soda-ash resources and the commissioning of new facilities, will China's synthetic soda-ash process eventually exit the market due to the low-cost competitive advantage of natural soda-ash, as historically occurred in the United States?

The China Soda Ash Industry Association will fully leverage its role in guiding the industry, standardizing corporate competition practices, eliminating low-price disorderly competition, and driving the soda-ash industry toward higher-quality, more efficient, and more sustainable development.
