Sodium Chloride Market 2022 by Global Key Players, Types, Applications, Countries, Industry Size and Forecast to 2031

 The global sodium chloride market is ready to embark on a positive growth trajectory, expanding at a modest CAGR to reach a value of US$ 59 Bn by 2030. While applications in the chemical and food & beverage sectors have been the most extensive, market players are looking to unlock potential revenue pools across de-icing and pharmaceutical applications. Analysts have also concluded that common salt is the key to achieving sustainable energy generation in the future.

Nearly nine out of ten industry units utilize sodium chloride to produce caustic soda and chlorine, which are used to manufacture light-weight materials such as polyurethane as an insulation material in construction, as well as chlorine for epoxy resins for electric cars and wind turbines. Moreover, its utility as an important food preservative and as a taste enhancer makes common salt a widely used ingredient in the food industry. While the COVID-19 pandemic may impede growth in the near-term, the long-term outlook remains largely optimistic.

“White spaces across lucrative end-use industries, particularly in pharmaceuticals, is heightening growth prospects for the global sodium chloride market. Modification of drug release, regulation of tablet porosity and preparation of isotonic solutions are just some of the immense applications of this vital raw ingredient,” comments an analyst at FMI.

Anticipated Impact of the Coronavirus Outbreak

With the entire world coming to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic, massive disruptions in supply-chains and production cycles have been documented across several industries. Logistical shortfalls induced due to the imposition of nationwide lockdowns has made it difficult to procure the raw materials required for production, leading to supply shortages. In the case of the sodium chloride market, a lacunae was anticipated during the initial stages of the pandemic. Production has contracted for the near-term due to shortfalls in labor and closure of salt processing plants. On the demand front, consumer spending on fast moving consumer goods, particularly on food and beverages has altered.

Amid fears of contracting the infection, people are shying away from tasty foods with high salt content and shifting towards a healthier diet. However, with the easing of lockdowns in several countries, production cycles are being restored. Factories are gradually resuming their operations to almost full capacity, albeit with strict social distancing measures on-site. This is anticipated to bring the sodium chloride market back on track. Moreover, important end-use industries are regenerating demand for sodium chloride, greatly augmenting its growth prospects.

Competition Landscape

Prominent market players in the global sodium chloride market include Intrepid Potash, Inc., EuroChem, Nutrien, Ltd., Wacker Chemie AG, Dampier Salt Ltd., Tata Chemicals Ltd., Akzo Nobel N.V, Maldon Crystal Salt Co, Compass Minerals International, Uralkali and the Mosaic Company to name a few. The market is fragmented, with prominent players accounting for nearly three-tenths of the market share. Enhancement of research & development capabilities, product development and acquisition of smaller players are some leading strategies to increase market presence.
