Sodium Chloride Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024
LONDON, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Sodium Chloride Market: Overview
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly known as salt. It occurs in the form of crystals that is used in large quantities across various industrial and consumer applications. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound with sodium and chloride ions in the ratio of 1:1. It is obtained by evaporation of sea water or brine by solar and vacuum evaporation methods. It is additionally produced by mining of salt halites, which is known as rock salt. Sodium chloride is largely used in applications such as chemical intermediates, deicing, flavoring and food preservatives, water treatment, and animal feed additive.
Sodium chloride is used in the manufacture of chlor-alkali products such as chlorine, soda ash, and caustic soda. These chlor-alkali products are used in the manufacture of various end-use products such as PVC, detergents, glass, dyes, and soaps. Hence, rising demand for sodium chloride from chemical intermediates is anticipated to drive the sodium chloride market. Sodium chloride is increasingly used as food preservative and flavoring agent as it offers properties such as color, distinct flavor, taste enhancer, and pleasant aroma. Food application is likely to be the fastest growing application segment. However, fluctuations in the snowfall is expected to hamper the growth of sodium chloride market during the forecast period.
