- Press Release -

As per industry analysis on industrial salt by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global industrial salt market is estimated to be valued at US$ 20.3 Bn by 2031, creating an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 6.3 Bn over the forecast period (2021-2031). The market is anticipated to progress at a decent CAGR of around 4% over the next ten years.

Industrial salt is one of the key elements used for oil & gas drilling applications and to maintain the density of the crude oil produced. Growing demand from this sector has significantly assisted the revenue growth of manufacturers channelling industrial salt.

However, due to the COVID-19 crisis, industrial salt demand declined, and a majority of manufacturers shut down their operations across the world. Moreover, rise in oil prices too had an adverse effect on industrial salt prices across regions. Nevertheless, market growth resurrected post 3rd quarter of FY 2021.
