Sodium Chloride Market by Type (Rock Salt, Solar Salt, Vacuum Salt), Grade (Food Grade, Lab Grade, Pharmaceutical Grade), Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Sodium Chloride Market size was estimated at USD 22.62 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 23.69 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 4.80% to reach USD 31.43 billion by 2030.

Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt, occurs from a chemical reaction between sodium and chlorine atoms. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound in the chemical formula of NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. NaCl is one of Earth's most abundantly occurring minerals and an essential nutrient for many plants and animals. Sodium Chloride is currently mass-produced from brine wells and salt lakes by evaporation of seawater or brine and used in several industrial, commercial, and household applications. Capabilities of NaCl to preserve food products and keep them safe to consume for a longer period increases its demand from the food manufacturing industry. In addition, extensive use of NaCl in wastewater treatment plants and manufacturing of several industrial chemicals creates a stronger landscape for the sodium chloride market. Besides several benefits, production of NaCl contaminates groundwater and consumes higher energy, which results in the hampering factor for the market. However, the emergence of low cost sodium chloride-based electric batteries is creating lucrative scope for the global sodium chloride market.
