The global sodium chloride market size reached US$ 29.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 34.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% during 2023-2032.
Sodium chloride, with the chemical formula NaCl, is an ionic compound representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Also commonly referred to as salt, table salt or common salt, sodium chloride is readily soluble in water. It appears as a white crystalline solid and acts as an emetic and a flame retardant. It is also essential in maintaining the electrolyte balance of fluids in a person's body. Moreover, the body requires NaCl to absorb and transport nutrients, maintain blood pressure levels and the right balance of fluid, transmit nerve signals, and contract and relax muscles. In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the usage of NaCl in various sectors such as animal feed, water and waste treatment, textiles and pharmaceuticals. It is also used to de-ice the streets and highways during heavy snowfall in the North American and European regions.
