Asian salt demand forecast to grow at almost 5%/year to 2018

Worldwide demand for salt is predicted to rise by 2.7%/year between 2013 and 2018, but Asia, particularly China and India, will continue to drive growth in demand, according to a new report by London-based Roskill.

Asian salt consumption alone is projected to rise by nearly 5%/year to 2018 and by then the region is forecast to account for nearly half of the world salt demand.

Much of the additional demand up to 2018 will originate from the chemicals sector, with growth in world chloralkali production
