Global Industrial Salt Market: Growth Factors

Increasing demand and requirement for industrial salt in the major application sectors including the oil & gas industry, highway de-icing, chemical processing, agriculture, and water treatment, mainly for the generation of caustic soda, chlorine, and soda ash are projected to compel the development of the market in the coming future. The industry is projected to observe a significant development due to a wide range of direct usages such as for agriculture and de-icing purposes and indirect usage together with the chemical processing sector to obtain caustic soda and chlorine.

Chlor-alkali division in the chemical sector makes maximum utilization of the product due to the inaccessibility of any monetary alternative for the product. The global industrial salt market is anticipated to develop strongly owing to the increasing technological developments pertaining to the generation of high-purity salt, for instance, vacuum pan technology. On the other hand, the implementation of the technology is comparatively low due to the existence of low-cost making methods, for instance, solution mining, conventional mining, and solar evaporation.
