FMI Releases New Report on the Inorganic Salts Market 2016-2026

Inorganic salts are a broad category of numerous salts such as oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, acetates, chlorides, fluorides, hypochlorites, nitrates, phosphates, silicates and sulfides among others. The physical and chemical properties as well as uses of each of these classes of inorganic salts differ from each other. Every class of these inorganic salts can be further differentiated on the basis of the attached functional group, for instance, carbonates can be attached with calcium, magnesium or potassium, to yield, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate or potassium carbonate respectively. Inorganic salts are a part of the human body too. They are essential in maintaining several metabolic processes, conducting nerve impulses and are components of bones.

Global Inorganic Salts Market: Drivers and Restraints

Inorganic salts find use across several industries. The growth of fertilizers and agrochemicals industry is one of the major drivers for the market of inorganic salts. The use of calcium salts, ammonium phosphate, nitrates, zinc salts and others to enhance the soil nutrient content are the primary factors propelling the growth of inorganic salts market. In addition to this, the growing rubber industry is driving the growth of zinc oxide market which is a key ingredient for vulcanization of rubber. Magnesium oxide is an important inorganic salt. It finds application in pharmaceutical industry as an antacid, in cement production as Epsom salts and as an important component in paper manufacturing. The growth of pharmaceutical industry and building & construction industry are other drivers for the market of inorganic salts. However, the toxic nature of some of the inorganic salts, for example, alkyl halides, such as chloroform and chloro flouro carbons are restraining the market of inorganic salts. Research in biotechnology is opening new avenues for inorganic salts. Inorganic salts are used as reagents in modern biotechnological devices such as HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography). This is expected to open new areas of opportunity for the market of inorganic salts.
