Europe Salt Market Outlook

  • Europe produces an average of 60 million tons of salt annually.
  • Spain is the biggest producer of sea salt in Europe, with average production of 1 million tons in 2020.
  • The average price of a packet of sea salt in Spain is EUR 0.22.

Europe Salt Market Growth

Around 57% of Spain’s annual salt production is meant for the food processing industry, while road salt and water treatment also account for a substantial portion of the overall consumption. Sea salt is generally mined from either the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean, where technologically advanced machinery helps in producing finer grain qualities. These grains are further utilised by the chemical processing industry.

In 2019, Spain exported 13,400 tons of salt to the United States, which was a year-on-year growth of 50%. Apart from Spain, France, Italy, and Greece are also major producers of salt in Europe.

There is an increasing demand for sea salt in northern and central parts of Europe, attributed to the presence of beneficial trace elements and its environment-friendly extraction process. Sea salt is becoming an increasingly important value-added product with exports to the United States witnessing significant growth. Innovations in the packaging of sea salt products are attracting consumers towards their consumption, while their usage in cured meat and canned fish remains predominant.
