The global rochelle salt market size is expected to be USD 254.3 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 403.63 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. 

Rochelle salt is also known as sodium-potassium tartrate. It is tartaric acid’s potassium sodium salt and is found in white crystalline powder form. The Rochelle salt is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. This salt exhibits a piezoelectric effect and finds its application in various devices. Other applications and end-use industries include pharmaceuticals, metal treatment & electroplating, mirrors, food & beverages, cigarette paper, and its use as a laboratory reagent. It provides a list of food additives such as a preservative or food additives. It is used in Seidlitz powder form as a mild purgative. This salt is also a significant ingredient of a ferroelectric crystal and Fehling's Solution and is generally used as a Fenton’s reagent component.     

Sodium-potassium tartrate and monopotassium phosphate were the first materials discovered to exhibit piezoelectricity. The material’s properties lead to the use of the material in microphones, earpieces, and crystal gramophone pick-ups, which will likely aid the market growth. It is also used in aqueous workups for breaking up emulsions in organic synthesis. It is used medicinally as a purgative which boosts bowel movements. Additionally, it is used in the process of silvering mirrors, which is projected to aid the market growth of the Rochelle market. 

COVID-19 Impact: Supply Chain Disruption and Availability of Alternative Product to Impede Market Growth

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

The COVID-19 outbreak affected every industry, and the chemicals and advanced material industry was no exception. The manufacturing and supply of the material were affected due to the lockdown for an extended period. Many industries adopted remote work culture, but manufacturing industries could not work remotely; thus, the market witnessed a downfall in market growth. The demand for the product could not be fulfilled due to lack of product availability and disruption in transportation. The pandemic created uncertainty in the market resulting in a slowdown of the supply chain and increasing concern among the general population.
