Inorganic Salts Market by Insulation Material (Sodium Salts, Magnesium Salts, Calcium Salts, Potassium Salts, and Ammonium Salts) and End-use Industry (Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals, Construction, Rubber Processing, Food, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030
The inorganic salts market size was valued at $92.2 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $150.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2030.
Inorganic salt is essential for human and animal nutrition. Oxides, sulphates, nitrates, phosphates, fluorides, carbonates, silicates, and sulfates of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and ammonium are among few inorganic salts. These salts are essential for human and animal health, and they can also be found as ions in biological fluids. Inorganic salts are required for transmission of electrical impulses across cell membranes and other cells, hence they must be used. Nerve impulses, heart functions, and muscle contraction are all controlled by ions in inorganic salts. These salts are also utilized as reagents in current biotechnological instruments such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Inorganic salts are also used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, medicines, food, rubber manufacturing, cement, and chemicals. In addition, these salts are used as catalysts, Sulphur adsorbents, and fire retardants in small amounts. Widespread use of calcium salts, nitrates, ammonium phosphate, zinc salts, and other inorganic salts to improve soil nutrient content is one of the main drivers that propel the global inorganic salts market. In addition, inorganic salt has a long history of use as an antacid in the pharmaceutical business. It is utilized in the cement business as epsom salt, which is widely used in gardening, domestic use, agriculture, and a variety of other applications. All these factors propel growth of the worldwide inorganic salt market. However, inorganic salt sometimes acts as a toxic substance, which can be hazardous for health, which hampers the market growth. Moreover, rise in use of inorganic salts as reagents in modern biotechnological equipment such as high-pressure liquid chromatography is a key opportunity for the market. For instance, addition of inorganic salts in reversed phase HPLC causes a moderate linear increase in the surface tension of aqueous solutions and tend to increase in retention time. This technique is used for mild separation and recovery of proteins and protection of their biological activity in protein analysis (hydrophobic interaction chromatography, HIC).
