Salt Market Size, Share and Growth Analysis Report: Forecast Trends and Outlook (2026-2035)

Global Salt Market Growth

There are 22,407 food manufacturing facilities in the United States, with average annual sales of $1.8 trillion. This is expected to surge the demand for salt, as it is a crucial component of various processed foods and enhances their texture, flavour, and colour.

The rising demand for food with nuanced and complex flavours is surging the usage of different varieties of salt, ranging from pink salt to black lava salt, for contrasting sweetness, introducing new flavours, and driving innovation in food and beverages. Besides, growing concerns regarding high sodium intake and the rising prevalence of health issues like stroke and hypertension are prompting key players to develop salt with reduced sodium content.

Salt also presents a sustainable and economical method of recycling plastic waste. While platinum is well suited for the pyrolysis of polyolefins, it is relatively quite expensive as compared to rock salt (0.04/kg). Researchers at the MSU (Michigan State University) have discovered that the output of polyolefin pyrolysis using rock salt yields 86% liquid and 14% gas while yielding zero solid wax, which makes it an eco-friendlier alternative to aluminium, platinum, or carbon. Further improvements in processes are expected to boost their applicability across various industries in the coming years.
