In terms of end-use industry, the global Sodium Cyanide Market has been split into mining, dyes & pigments, chemical intermediates, pharmaceuticals, and others. Among these, the mining segment accounted for 78.8% share of the global sodium cyanide market in 2021. The segment is estimated to maintain its attractiveness during the forecast period, due to its suitability in various end-use areas. Sodium cyanide is commonly sold as either a liquid or solid briquette. Its strength, usually quoted on a molar basis, can range anywhere from 98% and above.
