North America Salt Market Growth
The United States manufactures inorganic and organic chemicals, sealants, and plastic resins, among other chemicals, for the agricultural and consumer goods sector. In 2019, the United States exported chemicals worth over $208 billion, which constituted 15% of the global supply. Its domestic industry (having 13,000 firms) produces over 70,000 chemical products annually. Globally, the increasing demand for speciality chemicals is expected to necessitate the use of salt by the domestic chemical industry, which is a key component for manufacturing chlorine, sodium bicarbonate, and other chemicals.
The United States is the world's biggest nuclear power producer, which constitutes a 30% share of the global nuclear power production. In 2022 , the US produced 772 TWh of electricity from its nuclear power plants, which constituted 18% of the overall electricity output. With the introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act, the government is incentivising the expansion of existing nuclear power facilities through tax breaks and subsidies. Molten salt reactors are expected to play a key role in driving this expansion, as they have excellent heat absorption capacity and can fuel the process of nuclear power and green hydrogen production. They have the benefit of minimising waste generation while enhancing the safety of the production process.
