2024年,全球工業用鹽市場規模達157億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,市場規模將達到192億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為2.15%。水處理、石油天然氣和除冰應用中產品利用率的提高、化學品製造的不斷成長以及鹽礦開採和淨化技術的持續創新,是推動市場擴張的一些關鍵因素。
水處理需求不斷成長
工業鹽在水處理過程中起著至關重要的作用,尤其是在氯化鈉的使用過程中。隨著全球人口的成長和城市化的推進,對清潔飲用水的需求呈指數級成長。工業用鹽用於軟化水質,去除硬水中的鈣鎂離子,防止管道結垢,並增強清潔劑的功效。此外,工業鹽在廢水處理中也發揮著至關重要的作用。它們支持凝結和絮凝過程,這對於清除城市廢水和工業廢水中的污染物至關重要。隨著環境法規的日益嚴格以及對永續實踐的日益重視,水處理產業預計將持續發展,從而推動工業鹽需求的成長。
不斷擴張的石油和天然氣產業
石油和天然氣產業是工業鹽的重要消費領域,尤其是在鑽井作業和提高採收率 (EOR) 技術中。在鑽井液中,氯化鈉和氯化鉀等鹽類用於維持鑽井液的密度、控制壓力和穩定井孔。這些鹽類對於防止頁岩地層的水化和膨脹也至關重要,因為水化和膨脹會導致鑽井作業複雜化。此外,在提高採收率 (EOR) 中,鹽類用於改變注入流體的鹽度,從而提高原油的驅替效率。因此,石油和天然氣行業持續的探勘和生產活動正在推動工業鹽市場的成長。
除冰應用激增
工業鹽在除冰應用領域擁有龐大的市場,尤其是在寒冷氣候下,跑道、道路和其他路面上經常積雪結冰。氯化鈉(又稱岩鹽)是最常用的除冰劑,因為它能夠有效降低水的冰點,而且價格相對低廉。隨著氣候模式的變化和極端天氣事件的增多,預計除冰鹽的需求將會增加。這種趨勢在政府和市政當局大力投資工業鹽以確保冬季交通安全的地區尤其明顯。因此,隨著交通網路的擴張和城市地區的發展(這些地區需要維護良好的道路和跑道),對高效除冰解決方案的需求正在推高工業鹽的市場佔有率。

The global industrial salts market size reached USD 15.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 19.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.15% during 2025-2033. The rising product utilization in water treatment, oil and gas, and de-icing applications, increasing chemical manufacturing, and ongoing innovations in salt mining and purification techniques are some of the key factors contributing to the market expansion.
Increasing demand for water treatment
Industrial salts play a crucial role in water treatment processes, particularly with the use of sodium chloride is used. As the global population grows and urbanizes, the demand for clean, potable water has increased exponentially. Industrial salts are used in water softening processes, which remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water, preventing scale buildup in pipes and enhancing the effectiveness of detergents. Moreover, industrial salts are essential in the treatment of wastewater. They support the coagulation and flocculation processes, which are essential for clearing pollutants from wastewater from cities and industrial effluents. With stricter environmental regulations and the increasing emphasis on sustainable practices, the water treatment sector is expected to continue, impelling the industrial salt demand.
Expanding oil and gas sector
The oil and gas industry is a significant consumer of industrial salts, particularly in drilling operations and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. In drilling fluids, salts like sodium chloride and potassium chloride are used to maintain the density of the fluid, control pressure, and stabilize the borehole. These salts are also crucial in preventing the hydration and swelling of shale formations, which can lead to drilling complications. Furthermore, in EOR, salts are used to modify the salinity of the injected fluids, improving the displacement efficiency of the oil. Consequently, the ongoing exploration and production activities in the oil and gas sector are providing an impetus to the industrial salts market growth.
Surge in de-icing applications
Industrial salts have a sizable market for de-icing applications, especially in colder climates where snow and ice buildup on runways, roads, and other surfaces is common. Sodium chloride, or rock salt, is the most commonly used de-icing agent due to its effectiveness in lowering the freezing point of water and its relative affordability. As climate patterns change and extreme weather events become more frequent, the demand for de-icing salts is expected to increase. This trend is particularly pronounced in regions where governments and municipalities are investing heavily in industrial salts to ensure safe transportation during winter months. Hence, the need for effective and efficient de-icing solutions, spurred by the expansion of transportation networks and the growth of urban areas, which require well-maintained roads and runways, is boosting the industrial salts market share.

Hence, the need for effective and efficient de-icing solutions, spurred by the expansion of transportation networks and the growth of urban areas, which require well-maintained roads and runways, is boosting the industrial salts market share.
Based on the industrial salt market research report, the surging demand for brine, a high-concentration solution of salt in water, extracted primarily through solution mining where water is injected into underground salt deposits, is contributing to the market growth. This method is advantageous as it allows for the extraction of salts without extensive surface mining. Moreover, brine is used in various applications, including water softening, food processing, and as a base for chemical production, which is further propelling the market demand.
Besides this, salt mines, or rock salt mines, are a traditional source of industrial salts, where salt is extracted through conventional mining techniques. The extracted salt is a valuable raw material in the production of chemicals and is used for a variety of purposes, such as de-icing and water treatment. The accessibility and abundant reserves make salt mines a vital component of the industrial salt market, fostering market expansion.
The industrial salt market overview shows the rising use of rock salt for de-icing roads and highways due to its effectiveness in melting ice and snow is fueling the market growth. Its coarse texture and relatively low cost make it an essential commodity for winter road maintenance in many cold regions worldwide.
Moreover, salt in brine refers to a saltwater solution extracted via solution mining, where freshwater dissolves salt deposits underground. This method yields high-purity salts used in water treatment, food processing, and the chemical industry, making it a versatile and essential component in industrial applications.
In line with this, solar salt is produced through the natural evaporation of seawater or brine in large, shallow ponds using sunlight and wind. This eco-friendly method produces high-quality salt primarily used in water softening, chemical processes, and as a table salt, benefiting from minimal processing and low energy input.
Furthermore, vacuum pan salt is made by evaporating brine under vacuum conditions, which allows for the production of very pure and fine salt crystals. This process is energy-intensive but results in high-quality salt used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical industries, where purity and consistency are critical, thus positively impacting the industrial salts market outlook.
Industrial salts are crucial in chemical processing, particularly in producing caustic soda, soda ash, and chlorine, which are used for manufacturing various products like paper, glass, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This segment is driven by growing industrial demand and the widespread applications of these chemicals in numerous industries.
Meanwhile, the de-icing segment utilizes rock salt to melt snow and ice on roads, highways, and other surfaces, ensuring safety and mobility during winter. With the increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions, the demand for de-icing salt remains consistently high.
Moreover, in the oil and gas industry, industrial salts are used in drilling fluids and enhanced oil recovery techniques. These salts help stabilize wellbores and manage pressure, making them indispensable for efficient drilling operations and optimizing oil extraction, especially in regions with significant oil and gas production.
Besides this, industrial salts play a vital role in water treatment processes, aiding in water softening and the removal of impurities from wastewater. As a result, the rising global water demand and stringent environmental regulations, as industries and municipalities invest in advanced water treatment technologies are propelling the market forward.
Additionally, in agriculture, salts are used to enhance soil fertility and manage soil salinity, supporting crop growth and yield. The demand for agricultural salts is driven by the need for efficient and sustainable farming practices, as well as the increasing demand for high-quality crops in the food industry.
Furthermore, the expanding product employment across food processing, pharmaceuticals, and textiles sectors, where salts are used for preserving food, manufacturing medicines, and dyeing fabrics is industrial salts market dynamics. The versatility of industrial salts ensures their relevance across multiple industries, contributing to steady market demand.
