Industrial salts refer to various salts that are used for industrial purposes across a wide range of sectors. These salts are primarily derived from natural sources such as salt mines, brine wells, and seawater, and they undergo processing to meet the specific requirements of industrial applications.
The industrial salts market was projected to reach USD 14.93 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2017 to 2022. Industrial salts are manufactured using natural resources, including rock salt deposits or natural brine, such as sea water and salt water lakes. Industrial salts are manufactured by conventional mining, vacuum evaporation, or solar evaporation processes. These salts are widely used in various industries, owing to their easy availability and cost-effectiveness.
