The global industrial salts market size reached US$ 15.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 19.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% during 2024-2032. The rising product utilization in water treatment, oil and gas, and de-icing applications, increasing chemical manufacturing, and ongoing innovations in salt mining and purification techniques are some of the key factors contributing to the market expansion.
Increasing demand for water treatment
Industrial salts play a crucial role in water treatment processes, particularly with the use of sodium chloride is used. As the global population grows and urbanizes, the demand for clean, potable water has increased exponentially. Industrial salts are used in water softening processes, which remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water, preventing scale buildup in pipes and enhancing the effectiveness of detergents. Moreover, industrial salts are essential in the treatment of wastewater. They support the coagulation and flocculation processes, which are essential for clearing pollutants from wastewater from cities and industrial effluents. With stricter environmental regulations and the increasing emphasis on sustainable practices, the water treatment sector is expected to continue, impelling the industrial salt demand.
Expanding oil and gas sector
The oil and gas industry is a significant consumer of industrial salts, particularly in drilling operations and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. In drilling fluids, salts like sodium chloride and potassium chloride are used to maintain the density of the fluid, control pressure, and stabilize the borehole. These salts are also crucial in preventing the hydration and swelling of shale formations, which can lead to drilling complications. Furthermore, in EOR, salts are used to modify the salinity of the injected fluids, improving the displacement efficiency of the oil. Consequently, the ongoing exploration and production activities in the oil and gas sector are providing an impetus to the industrial salts market growth.
Surge in de-icing applications
Industrial salts have a sizable market for de-icing applications, especially in colder climates where snow and ice buildup on runways, roads, and other surfaces is common. Sodium chloride, or rock salt, is the most commonly used de-icing agent due to its effectiveness in lowering the freezing point of water and its relative affordability. As climate patterns change and extreme weather events become more frequent, the demand for de-icing salts is expected to increase. This trend is particularly pronounced in regions where governments and municipalities are investing heavily in industrial salts to ensure safe transportation during winter months. Hence, the need for effective and efficient de-icing solutions, spurred by the expansion of transportation networks and the growth of urban areas, which require well-maintained roads and runways, is boosting the industrial salts market share.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on source, product, and application.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the source. This includes brine and salt mines.
Based on the industrial salt market research report, the surging demand for brine, a high-concentration solution of salt in water, extracted primarily through solution mining where water is injected into underground salt deposits, is contributing to the market growth. This method is advantageous as it allows for the extraction of salts without extensive surface mining. Moreover, brine is used in various applications, including water softening, food processing, and as a base for chemical production, which is further propelling the market demand.
Besides this, salt mines, or rock salt mines, are a traditional source of industrial salts, where salt is extracted through conventional mining techniques. The extracted salt is a valuable raw material in the production of chemicals and is used for a variety of purposes, such as de-icing and water treatment. The accessibility and abundant reserves make salt mines a vital component of the industrial salt market, fostering market expansion.
A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product have also been provided in the report. This includes rock salt, salt in brine, solar salt, and vacuum pan salt.
The industrial salt market overview shows the rising use of rock salt for de-icing roads and highways due to its effectiveness in melting ice and snow is fueling the market growth. Its coarse texture and relatively low cost make it an essential commodity for winter road maintenance in many cold regions worldwide.
Moreover, salt in brine refers to a saltwater solution extracted via solution mining, where freshwater dissolves salt deposits underground. This method yields high-purity salts used in water treatment, food processing, and the chemical industry, making it a versatile and essential component in industrial applications.
In line with this, solar salt is produced through the natural evaporation of seawater or brine in large, shallow ponds using sunlight and wind. This eco-friendly method produces high-quality salt primarily used in water softening, chemical processes, and as a table salt, benefiting from minimal processing and low energy input.
Furthermore, vacuum pan salt is made by evaporating brine under vacuum conditions, which allows for the production of very pure and fine salt crystals. This process is energy-intensive but results in high-quality salt used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical industries, where purity and consistency are critical, thus positively impacting the industrial salts market outlook.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application. This includes chemical processing (caustic soda, soda ash, and chlorine), de-icing, oil and gas, water treatment, agriculture, and others.
Industrial salts are crucial in chemical processing, particularly in producing caustic soda, soda ash, and chlorine, which are used for manufacturing various products like paper, glass, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
