LEAD NITRATE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global lead nitrate market size was valued at USD 0.05 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.06 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period.

Lead (II) nitrate is an inorganic compound having chemical formula Pb (NO3)2 and molecular mass of 331.2 g/mol. It is basically an inorganic salt of nitric acid and lead. It is an odorless compound that occurs as a colorless crystal or white powder. It is soluble in water unlike most other lead (II) salts. Lead (II) nitrate is itself noncombustible but it will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities of the substance are involved, it may result in an explosion.

It was used as a raw material in the manufacturing of pigments from the middle ages for lead paints, which have been replaced by less toxic paints based on titanium dioxide. It is currently being used as a heat stabilizer in nylon and polyesters, and in coatings of photothermographic paper. Since around the year 2000, lead (II) nitrate has begun to be used in gold cyanidation. It is a hazardous substance and therefore, it should be stored using appropriate safety measures.

COVID-19 Impact: Decrease in demand causes market distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the lead nitrate market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The coronavirus pandemic had been a major set up for chemical industries. Amidst the chaos and commotion caused by lockdowns and several other initiatives taken by government to control the spread of COVID-19, work chains as well as supply chains were severely disrupted. Furthermore, the market noted suppressed demand in regional as well as in global markets. Workers in production units were removed from their jobs to cut expenditures as the market continued to experience dip in its growth. However, chemical and advanced material industries did experience boost in market sales after 2021.
