The extensive use of sodium chloride across the food and beverages industry in the form of flavoring agent and preservative is also expected to have an immense positive impact on the overall market in the next few years. Being one of the prominent end user of a variety of salts. The flourishing food and beverages industry, especially the segment of packaged and canned foods, is expected to be one of the key drivers of the global sodium chloride market in the next few years.

Fluctuation in Snowfall to Impact Demand for Sodium Chloride in Deicing Application

Deicing and snow-control applications account for a significant share in the overall consumption of sodium chloride in regions such as North America and Europe. Of late, the vast fluctuations observed in snowfall in these regions owing to global warming and the resultant unpredictability in climatic conditions have made it difficult for salt manufacturers to determine the salt quantity to be produced to gain profitable returns. During unfavorable winter conditions, large amounts of un-used salt is either disposed or stored using expensive technologies, resulting in major losses for manufacturers. This factor is expected to severely impact the development of the global sodium chloride market in the next few years.

Apart from this, factors such as the easy availability of salt across every corner of the world, production in large quantities, and intense competition among global and regional players, which leads to considerably low profit margins, are the key challenges faced by the global market. The hygroscopic nature of salt also adds up to the production cost, further lowering the profit margins of manufacturers. These factors are expected to substantially hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period.
