The market for thorium hydroxide in Thailand is still developing at present but is expected to grow rapidly over the coming years due to rising demand from both domestic and international sources. In 2018, Thailand companies imported around 600 tonnes of thorium hydroxide from other countries with an estimated value of approximately US$2 million. This material mainly came from suppliers based in Australia, Canada and Japan. Domestic production remains limited but some local firms are beginning to explore opportunities within this sector too.
Thorium hydroxide`s applications in nuclear technology and as a precursor in chemical processes contribute to its market growth. The development of advanced nuclear reactors and ongoing research in nuclear sciences drive the demand for thorium hydroxide. Its role as a chemical reagent also supports its presence in various industries.
Thorium hydroxide is used in various chemical applications. Challenges could involve managing waste and byproducts of thorium-based processes and addressing environmental and safety considerations.
The thorium hydroxide market encountered disruptions due to reduced industrial activities. Sectors like nuclear energy and research, which use thorium hydroxide, were impacted. The market`s recovery is tied to the revival of these sectors and increased demand for their products.
The Thailand thorium hydroxide market features key players like ThoriumChem Co., Hydroxide Industries, and Nuclear Solutions Group. ThoriumChem Co. is a prominent producer of thorium hydroxide, catering to sectors like nuclear fuel processing and research. Hydroxide Industries specializes in hydroxide compounds, including thorium hydroxide, for diverse applications. Nuclear Solutions Group focuses on providing nuclear technology solutions, including thorium-based products. These key players contribute to Thailand`s nuclear industry by supplying essential thorium hydroxide for critical applications.
