Freedonia Market Research Freedonia Focus Reports Salt: United States

Salt: United States

Focus Reports, United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2021 and 2025 US salt (sodium chloride) demand in metric tons. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of: rock, brine, vacuum and open pan, and solar.

Total demand is also segmented by market as follows: ice control and stabilization; chlor-alkalis; other chemicals; food processing; agricultural; water softening; and other markets such as oil drilling, textiles and dyeing, pulp and paper, metal processing, and tanning and leather

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2010 to 2020.

This report analyzes the market for salt (i.e., sodium chloride), including crystallized (i.e., dry) salt and salt contained in a brine solution. For salt in a solution, only the weight of the salt content is considered. This report covers both captive salt produced for use within a company’s operations (such as chemical manufacturing) and salt sold on the open market.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
