The market is projected to grow from USD 26.92 billion in 2025 to USD 36.13 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the salt market with a market share of 46.23% in 2024. Moreover, the U.S. salt market is projected to reach USD 4.91 billion by 2032, fuelled by food-grade salt demand and growing use in industrial and de-icing applications.

Salt is one of the inorganic compounds widely used across various industries and is one of the worlds most valuable minerals. It is an essential element of food consumption. The product is a mixture of chlorine and sodium that undergoes a number of processing methods involving seawater evaporation, brine extraction, rock salt, and mining.

The market is driven by the rise in product demand from the chemical manufacturing industry, especially in chlorine-alkali chemicals production. In the chemical sector, the chlorine-alkali industry is a major user of the product due to a lack of economically viable alternatives. However, the process of extracting the substance from mines includes additional approvals and licenses from mining officials worldwide, which are supposed to curb production.

Market Share:

? Asia Pacific led the global salt market in 2024 with a market share of 46.23%, driven by strong demand from the chemical processing industry, growing population, and expanding food sector. The region grew from USD 13.86 billion in 2023 to USD 12.01 billion in 2024, with China, India, and Australia as key contributors.

INDIAN ECONOMY OVERVIEW

India Salt Market size was estimated at USD 11.1 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, India Salt Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.15% reaching a value of USD 19.2 billion by 2031. The Salt Market in India is driven by an increasing demand from the food processing industry, where salt is essential for preservation and flavour enhancement. Expanding applications in chemical processing, such as chlorine and caustic soda production, further boost market growth. Rising urbanization and population growth contribute to higher consumption of processed and packaged foods, increasing salt demand. Additionally, the development of premium and specialty salt products, along with growing export opportunities to neighbouring countries, creates significant growth potential for the market.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The salt manufacturing industry in India continues to hold a significant position globally, ranking as the third-largest producer after China and the USA. In the fiscal year 2024-25, Indias total salt production was estimated at around 30 million metric tonnes (MMT). Gujarat alone contributed nearly 78% of the national output, leveraging its extensive coastal salt pans in regions such as Khara Ghoda, Bhavnagar, and Porbandar. The remaining production included rock salt from Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan.

The industry caters to diverse demand segments, with 75% of salt consumed by industrial sectors, particularly the chlor-alkali industry for caustic soda and chlorine production, along with dyes and pharmaceuticals. Another 15% goes to edible salt, including iodized salt for household consumption, while 10% is exported to countries like Japan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Middle Eastern markets. The fiscal year 2024-25 saw steady growth in industrial demand, driven by expansions in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Government initiatives, such as the PM MITRA Parks scheme for textiles and chemicals, further boosted industrial salt consumption, while welfare programs for salt farmers aimed at improving productivity.

However, the sector faced challenges, including climate variability affecting salt crystallization, labour shortages due to seasonal dependence, and competition from synthetic alternatives in industrial applications. Despite these hurdles, the industry is adopting sustainable practices like solar evaporation and better brine management. Looking ahead, the sector is projected to grow at 5-7% annually, supported by rising industrial demand, export opportunities, and technological advancements in refining processes. With continued government support and modernization, Indias salt industry is poised for sustained growth in the coming years.

USES OF SALT

A. Human Consumption

• It Flavors food and is used as a binder and stabilizer

• It maintains the fluid balance in the body

• Salt acts as a preservative by reducing the availability of water in foods

• The human body requires a small amount of sodium to conduct nerve impulses, contract and relax muscles and maintain

the proper balance

• Salt is important for hydration energy and nerve transmission

B. Industrial Consumption

• For De-icing of roads, Oil & Gas Industry, Energy Industry, Chemical Industry

• Chloralkali Industry or Electrolysis Metal Industry Textile Industry, Rubber Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Soap & Washing Powder Industry, Pigment Industry etc

Moreover, Potential for the Growth of Salt Industry:

• India has very long coast line and out of that Gujarat Coast line is of 1600 Kms

• In Gujarat in addition to existing salt industry lot of Land available along the side of coast for developing more salt works.

• Climatic conditions are suitable for salt industry.

• Easy Availability of skilled labours

• Good Administration of our Govt. and their Corporation.

• Our low cost of production

• Government support for critical infrastructure facilities.

• Minor Ports have loading capacity 5000 tons /day to 20000 tons /day in mid-stream loading where as big port like Kandla have achieved the av. rate of loading of 25000 tons / day. We have a big advantage that ships of the capacity from 5000 tons to 100,000 tons could be loaded at our ports. There is potential for developing more ports as per requirement. In south India there is also a big port, Tuticorin close to salt manufacturing area.

• Now only 20% industries have gone for mechanization and modernization, 50% from balance can also go immediately.

Average yield of salt works is only 100 tons per hectare. This can be increased to 300 tons per annum by adopting modernization. India has very long coast line and out of that Gujarat.

With its expanding market value and enduring relevance, the sector stands poised to shape economies and industries worldwide for years to come.
