Cleveland, OH, January 8, 2019 — US demand for salt is forecast to rise 2.4% annually in volume terms through 2022, according to Salt: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Advances will largely reflect a return to trend in ice control and stabilization applications, as well as growth in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, food processing, and oil drilling sectors.
Demand for salt in ice control and ground stabilization end uses, the largest market segment, is projected to rise 4.0% per annum through 2022, faster than any other discrete segment. Advances will be driven by an anticipated recovery from a weather-related low base year, which reflected warmer-than-average winters in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons.
